Perry Miniatures The Sudan Cavalry Questions

[Gluteus Maximus]

Copplestone are huge! Everything about them (especially, in my opinion, the weapons) is out of scale with Perry.

Fair enough, each to their own. I'd like to have seen four different versions of the same troop type, as it's always harder to judge from different uniforms, hats etc. Even slightly different poses can make a figure look very different from another.

It's a matter of subjectivity - there's usually no "right" or "wrong" answer, it just depends on how uniform you want your little people to be, I suppose. I'm happy to see Crouch and Defoe in the same team, or Danny Care and Andrew Sheridan 

All I can say is the figures I have from the two companies fit together well enough for me - not always in the same unit, but always ok on the same table. Weapons/equipment are my yardsticks and judging from the ones I have there is no great problem.

I still maintain Perry are not small, though.

One also shouldn't underestimate the power of homogeneous painting. Sometimes it can bring together miniatures that looked completely incompatible in the "silver".

I saw some Perry Sudan sailors next to some Copplestone ones last weekend. They looked quite alright together.

That's my secret. I can put the best quality figure in the same painting batch as the worst and they'll both look homogeneously crap

I agree.  I do think Copplestone are rather large, though...

Wow, I'm afraid I kicked a hornet's nest with all of the discussion I've generated!

Thoug I'll agree, the Perry figures that I have fit in well size wise with my other infantry. I was just curious about the cavalry's size because I've never seen the Perry's cavalry "in the flesh."
