An odd question perhaps, but I've been thinking about getting some generic knights (possibly with a Pendragon campaign in mind when our three-year-old D&D/RuneQuest campaign comes to a natural stopping point).
I was looking around and have been tempted by the Baron's War range. Then I came across the Foundry Feudals and recognised them from their 80s incarnation as Citadel knights. And then my eyes strayed to the Foundry 100 Years War range (where there are quite a lot of civilians, including high-born ladies; we have several female players, some of whom might well want to play ladies rather than knights).
And then, yesterday, I decided to base up some figures for Mordheim and dug out some Wars of the Roses Citadel figures that I've had since the 80s. I'd always thought of those figures as normal-sized Citadel humans of the 80s. But when I put a
poleaxe-wielding, sallet-sporting fellow next to the other mercenaries I'm using for Mordheim (Steel Fist, Warlord Landsknechts, Perry plastics, Aly Morrison half-orcs ...), he seemed tiny - viable as a boy or a slight woman only. To my surprise, he was also undersized against very early Citadel adventurers and other fantasy humans. So I based him on a penny to go with my "true-25" RPG collection.
Anyway, I thought it was worth asking whether the Foundry WotR range is smaller than the HYW and/or Feudals range before I dive in and order some of the latter two. I remember the Feudals being absolutely standard-sized Citadel figures back in the 80s, and they are a few years younger than the WotR range, I think, but I did read something about some of the Foundry ranges having shrunken as a result of recasting.
So, are the figures in the WotR range smaller than the Feudals and HYW, and are the latter two ranges compatible with each other (if we're playing Pendragon, knights and ladies will be required but historical accuracy won't!)? And, secondly, how do Foundry Feudals compare with the Baron's War range from Footsore?
(I don't really mind which scale the putative Pendragon project manifests in, but I don't want to buy miniatures from different manufacturers or ranges that aren't compatible!)
Many thanks in advance for any insight!
