WW1 Italians Scarab vs Brigade Games

[Stecal]

Can any post a photo of size comparisons of these 2 manufacturer's WW1 Italian ranges?  Are they compatible?  Any other 28mm Italian ranges out there?

Hi, there are at least two other ranges of World War I Italians. My favorites are the one by brigade games, who have a rather extensive range and are really good, better than Scarab I think. The Italian company Strategia e tattica also produces some, but the quality of the casting is not as good

There are a couple of size comparison shots I did a while ago for the Scarab and Brigade Games AH figures in this thread.

The Brigade games figure is one of the earlier ones not sculpted by Paul Hicks but isnt too disimilar is size from the newer ones.  The Brigade Games Italians figures are more Early War and the Scarab Miniatures more late war so the choice would depend on which part of the war you want to cover.  As you can see the Scarab figures are a bit bigger than the Brigade games ones but ok in separate units on the table.  It terms of style I would say the Brigade games figures are really nice more 'anatomically' correct figures.  But the Scarab miniatures have a bit more Character (the Arditi running in with grenades in each hand and knife between the teeth does capture the ethos of that particular unit very well I think)
