Newline Design 28mm Bengal lancers vs Foundry

[giorgio]

Dear all, Newline Bengal Lancers (seems they are Sikh) are well mixable with Foundry?
by the way, are Sikh infantry vs Foundry ones too? Thanks

[Atheling]

Foundry all the way. For both. Easily. I usually wait until their X-mas sale and order in bulk to get the 25% off bonus.

Newline Designs are alright but compared to the Foundry Perry sculpts, well, there is a huge difference between the quality of workmanship IMHO.

Probably Giorgio is most interested about comparison dimensions, I red an article here on LAF stating there is compatiblility...

[giorgio]

Thanks both of you. I read the article too but it was limited to infantry. I'm curious about cavalry too.
Can someone please pst some pictures of Sikh Newline because are missing in their sites.
Thanks for X mas discount suggestion

Atheling thanks but it seems Foundry makes only muslim, not Sikh lancers

Good point. What time period are you looking at?

If it's the Indian Mutiny/First War of Independence the Iron Duke Miniatures range might be worth a look?

2AW up to end of century (Tirah etc.). My RAI are Foundry, afghan Foundry and plastic Perry

But Hick's sculpts for Iron Duke are really big, and won't work well with the older Foundry range.

If your after Sikh Lancers, why not just do a head swap, as that is pretty much what is needed. You can get Sikh heads from the Perry's WW2 range and also find them in Warlords' WW2 British 8th Army (Colonial) box of plastics. I use these Sikh and Indian heads for all sorts of conversions, for both the Sikh Wars and Indian Mutiny periods.

Now that’s a good idea!

Giorgio, I don't know exactly what period you are looking for but maybe the Indian cavalry sold by Mutineer Miniatures in their Indian mutiny range would do the job? They produce a variety of cavalry types which are probably suitable for both later and earlier than the 1850s.

Hi all can someone post a comparison picture between Foundry and Artizan Design? If possible both infantry and cavalry with horses...

[Mad Guru]

Giorgio, here's a group comparison pic with Foundry and Artizan foot figures included:



Here's a LINK to the blog post I got the above pic from, which includes several more similar photos:

Unfortunately I don't own any Artizan cavalry, so unable to help on that front, but I'm sure the Artizan figures are larger.

EDIT:

Giorgio:  I still don't have any Artizan cavalry, but got inspired to put some painted Foundry & Artizan figures of the same sort together and take some pics, ostensibly to help you out but just as much because it's been way too long since I've had them out on the table, so thanks for the opportunity and here's a few more comparison pics...

Thank you, funny before posting I check in your blog on Maiwand but...I did not find it  , Very kind of you, I'm looking forward horses comparison. On Perry, according your picture, there is a big difference beteween Perry and Foundry horses... I do agree with you these are overpriced and grouped in blisters sometime not very helpful...but they are outstanding quality! Do you have also Artizan Afghans? Have you heard about plastic Afghan cavalry by Wargames Atlantic?
