Thank you for the comparison pics and article, very informative

As a bonus I expect that it will kill a great many "which plastic afghans are best?" threads, or at least we can end them quickly with a link to you blog

I've had a couple of people ask if you can mix the two sets. To which the reply is that you *could*. Probably. But why ? Just buy more Perry models, they're much nicer.

Your pictures speak a thousand words.

The Perry set also has roughly twice as many components - in terms of different bodies, arms, heads, weapons, etc.

But fair play to WA, they stole a march on this one. First mover advantage and all that.

Perry and Victrix, for me, are streets ahead of anyone else in the ‘historical’ plastics stakes, for both quality and quantity of components.

To be clear i don't think the WA set is a bad set, it isn't. If the Perry set hadn't come out I'd be more than happy to continue using them. There are some poor quality plastic sets out there and this isn't one of those.

But its just not *as* good as the Perry one in terms of sculpting quality, options and even price.

A couple of commenters on my blog pointed out that the valleys of Ilkestaan seened a little bare and devoid of cover for the wily Pathans.
So I've started making some terrain
