Foundry WW2
« on: February 27, 2024, 02:52:45 PM »
I’ve some of these and was wondering, given their relative age and quite distinctive style, what other figures might blend in with them?

The German Paras work fine with BTD.  I don't have any others to compare with.

Are you asking about their 28 or 20mm ranges?

28s - to be honest I thought they were quite a distinct style & size, but they do fit with an Artizan para I have -  I suspect it’s a bit of a lottery

Thank you for the replies!

I would add that Foundry's early war German Paras and Home Guard mix fine with their Crusader equivalents. But then I think the older Crusader ranges are on the "small" side of 28mm.

 I find they work well with 1stcorps miniatures.

Thank you again - I’ll have a good look at Crusader - from a very Quick look, they do seem very similar

I've got the Foundry Fallshies and infantry/sentries and finished the units I wanted from both First Corps and Crusader and painted as far as I'm concerned make for a good mix.

I mixed mine with BTD and early Artizan. It is a great range under utilized
