Great links! Thanks!

The thing is it doesn't matter who is "with" who on this the OP just wanted to know how they compare.I think he mean't sizewise.
I"m kind of surprised by the "Napoleonic Board" type responses on the BOB forum anyway.I know, I know historical plausibilties blah,blah,blah.These guys might end up fighting anything from some silly-named German spy backed by  Turkish bandits to a Chineses warlord(also with a silly name) allied with British regulars from India.
Sorry I made you  .They are figures for a wargame not plates for a histroical book, get over it.

PS Carlos if you don't want those Foundry Cossocks. send them to me

Guys
Gee ...I just wanted some variation in my units , I was not going to paint them pink with yellow caps .
Pete is right sounds like the Nap forum ..heaven forbid,  "hmm stovepipe shakos were already phased out for that unit 3 months for Waterloo"....
I want to use them in games that are exactly as Pete described.
Carlos I have to disagree with you on this .
I love the Copplestone castings cavalry but if they have a fault it is that they are a bit samey IMHO.
That is why I was looking for some alternatives miniatures, & positive feeback ,not castigation and hysteria .. lets .burn the witch....burn the witch 
Cheers

Don't see any evidence of 'burn the witch' here myself. Shrill cries of persecution seem to be the stock in trade of many internet forums, one rather hopes this phenomena will not become a hallmark of this one too.

Mark has probably done as much as anyone else to expand the base of information in English for people gaming the RCW and his views on BoB are well known. His Pygmy Wars site is an invaluable source and I respect his views. As I said your toys your choices but for God's sake don't play the fucking martyr.

[Poliorketes]

Please calm down everyone. Let's just say they are completely unfitting for anything historical, but look great for a pulpish approach.

Hi Guys
Cant beleive this thread..
Carlos I have got more 's on my last post than verbs.... ,I was hardly saying Im bring persecuted.
 As for being a "Fucking martyr " not sure about that  .. is that a bit like being a tool ??....
Any way Im over this ...Please no more posts on this thread  that dont help or answer the question.
I am still looking for appropriate figures that would suit Iregulars for BOB White armies let me know.
Cheers

Yes, my apologies, I was in a particularly bad humour myself when I penned that.

This site is truly full of real gentlemen (and women).On any other forum I have belonged to this would have went on for 3 pages of silly flame wars.I love the LAF!

To answer the question, i've got assault group moderns by the same sculptor (SWATs, miitias), they are a bit smaller than Copplestone, but the heads are bigger. I wouldn't mix them in a unit, but they might work in an army.

i thought many times to use the Foundry renaissance cossacs as a base for conversions for Makhnovites.
Being Copplestone sculpts they'll fit style-wise, but Foundry historicals are smaller, slimmer than Copplestone Castings. Only the first BoB releases, like the commissars would blend with them in proportion. The bolshevik heroines and russian partizans are huge in comparison with other copplestone-foundry figs I have.
