Lucid Eye Rome vs Crusader
« on: February 06, 2024, 12:43:19 AM »
Are they compatible in size and heft?

I believe Lucid Eye are tall compared to some ranges.

I haven't seen any size comparisons, however.

The only Lucid Eye Romans I have are kneeling triarii but from my own experience, they work well with the larger ranges like Aventine, so I imagine they'd be passable with Crusader?


Here's a mix of Aventine, Gripping Beast, and Lucid Eye

Just because I had five minutes of boredom to fill in I have found a couple of photos that may help.  Not a direct comparison but you can probably extrapolate.

Thanks for the links! I had forgotten Aventine did Romans. But probably not EIR Romans, eh?

I'm working on a project that's not strictly historical and will be mixing units from different periods.   o_o

They have a pretty comprehensive range for the Pax Romana era (say Domitian to early Severan dynasty).

I don't own any, but I always liked the look of the Black Tree Design Romans.  While I have had several orders from them over the years and had no problems (delivering to New Zealand), I am aware that others have not had good experiences.  Their Dark Ages range fits quite well with Crusader.
