Hi,

If anyone has any snaps of the Wargames Foundry and Warlord Games Dacians for comparison I would be happy to see them (please)?

Atheling, I don't have any of the figures you mention but believe the Foundry range dates back to the mid '90s and are at the "small end" of 28mm.

Yes, I know. I remember their release. The question is, what is the size difference? Is it something I can manage.

I have some hidden away from memory they are a slightly smaller but slimmer. They are a similar height to Foundries original EIR, not the Saleh figures. Warlord's have more dramatic posing, it depends if you like your figures all the same height?

Height does worry me though this can actually be dealt with by painting- it tends to bring things together- my real worry is if the old Perry sculpts fit with the Warlord style. I don't mind buying more Foundry mini's but a wee bit more variation would be nice.

I have a few foundry Dacians mixed with Germans plus warlord Dacians in and Germans units and they fit ok, the foundry are much nicer sculpts, chunkier legs, body and bigger faces.

Thanks Matt. That alone makes me veer towards just Foundry.

Hi Atheling, please see attached. I only have few Foundry dacian archers, but it should give you a better idea.
