Hello,

I have lots of GW Bretonnians from the Perry's (4th and 5th Edition) and I like to add some Perry HYW Agincourt range. It looks that they are smaller than the Bretonnians. Also interested in the Claymore Castings ranges. They look also very small.

Does someone have comparison pics? Can't find something in the net.

Many thanks!

Alex

The 5th edition plastic archers will probably look chunky against modern Perry plastics -- I would presume the 5th ed metals will as well.

Front Rank 100HYW are a good fit with the plastics.

I think the best way of answering this is to say that I have a few 5th Ed Bretonnians mixed into my collection. The Bretonnians are a little bigger and the features are larger, hands faces etc. The odd one will fit quite well IMHO.

Front Rank 100HYW are a good fit with the plastics.

Front Rank will fit well with the Bretonnians but not so well with the Perry Miniatures stuff. FR is substantially larger and chunkier. I did once fit the FR Henry V model on a command base- pic below so you can judge for yourself:



Cheers,
Darrell.

I think I have a few, not sure what edition they are, but I'll try and dig them out and post tonight once I get home from work.

Not quite your original question, but my Lion Rampant retinue includes both GW Bret archers and Claymore Castings billmen and MAA:

Not in the same unit mind. The GW archers are chunkier and more static, but I'm quite happy with them in the same force.

The picture quality isn't great but hopefully these photos will help.







I'm not sure which editions the Games Workshop minis are, some work better than others but all are slightly bulkier.

Ah, yes -- sorry. That was unclear; FR fit with the placcy bretonnians. I use the Perry plastics as well, but defn in separate units.
