The problem with Perry figures is their size, they are not really compatible with other ranges of taller figures like Artizan or Copplestone.....

i agree on the size, but they are producing complete ranges ... I'm fed up to buy some nice minis who stay on a shelve because the sculptor never produced more than 3 references ...
only 2 manufacturers produce quite complete ranges for the moment : Warlord and Perry ...

I'm still waiting for support weapons for the Gorgon Studio Narvik range, i'm still waiting for the support weapons of the Artizan Goumiers and so on ...

so i prefer a range not really compatible with others, but complete; than parts of ranges ( often the same models ) from a lot of manufacturers ...

Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

Agreed on the range, but I had already invested in other ranges when I saw these.  I went to buy some odd bits to fill out the range and was gutted when I saw the size.......

Well, these have got my attention. With a wee bit of conversion work we have Yeomanry for Palestine 1917-18 and NZMR for the same period... all in shirt sleeve order! SOLD! However..... I wonder why these chaps do not carry waterbottles ..... Indian pattern sun helmets are a godsend!

Love the figures.
Now have to figure out what I want to use them for.
Of course that has never been a problem before. ;)
If nothing else I can add them to my lead pile. lol

Picture of the Warwickshire Yeomanry Syria 1941

 Cannot see any water bottles ...only joking  ;)

Last War Against France by Colin Smith is certainly worth a read for the campaigns in both Syria and Madagascar

I think they could pull off being used as Philippine Scouts...

And if they are a little small they can be cadets for whichever force gets the nod.

I was thinking the same thing... I'm at a loss for trying to convert other cav models to US WW2 Cav.
