That dude looks great! Mix him in with a few normal paratroopers and you will have a nasty mix of troops.

Indeed! Looks awesome!

  No just shorts, but from that angle it might seem

These guys?

It could be a good idea, but they could be fine with a thematic campaign with some leagues based about the anime, with porco rosso and fiona duo (and the Macchi M.33), and maybe the "mamma aiuto!" fly gang and the other characters... Strange that nobody yet do it   I remember I saw a picture of a painted miniature of the  Macchi M.33 somewhere in the forum.

@Blackwolf has made several, and Pulp Figures has a lot of very useful miniatures for that - apart from the italian fascists of course

[d phipps]

Oh yes, the "Porco Rosso" fascist are another good idea.

They have some of the CTV from the SCW and some Abyssinia war figs

Those are great, Commissar. I've always liked the look of Empress figures but how do they scale next to Copplestone and Artizan minis? Got any pics?

[commissarmoody]

Sorry I don't have any comparison pics. I but I do think that Empress offers a more detailed figure's then Copplestone. Where as Copplestone is more pulp.

Oh yes, Empress makes some lovely models. I think Mr Hicks does a lot of their sculpts, and he's certainly the cat's nightwear. My only concern is how closely they scale next to Pulp Alley, Copplestone, and Artizan minis -- cuz that's mostly what I gots.

[commissarmoody]

Some on else might be able to help. But this is a pic of some Copplestone, up against some Tsuba and Musketeer figs.
Copplestone, seems to be decidedly along the "Heroic" scale of 28's where as Empress leans more toward true 28's

Ayup, thats what I was thinking.

Well, Empress will mix fine with the figures Mila is using for her Venus 1881 VSF campaign for Pulp Alley -- Hinterland and so forth...

THANKS for the link.

Empress varies I find. Sometimes they're a bit too small to be credible (even accounting for smaller men), other times it's not so bad and they work well enough.

Lovely work on the blackshirt there. Especially all the complex little helmet bits!

I have them all in the mix and I find them absolutely compatible. The styles/proportions are close to each other and I can even interchange heads - the only problem are sometimes the old 25mm because of the smallish heads, but the proportions are similar and the weapons too. Copplestone has a distinctive style (which he hasn't treated us with more recently, sadly) of clean design and very consistent proportions throughout, but a limited range of postures, unfortunately, so needs enrichment by other ranges.
