Foundry and Perry go together well, although the plastics are not that good frankly. Dixon are nice, but don't mix 'em with other makes in a unit it just won't work. Redoubt are lovely figures, bit taller than Perry/Foundry, but will mix resonably well. Have you considered Renegade Miniatures, they do a nice range and their regiment packs are well priced. £11.95 for 24 figures including command, thats not much more than one Foundry pack of eight figs. Crusader also do a nice, but, small range, same price as Perrys. (metals). £1 per figure.
