Comparison shots of ranges

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

just a quick shot of some of the bigger name manufacturers side by side.

The Cardinal is pretty typical of the height of the Redoubt range, but you can see that when in the typical "swashbuckling" pose, they do reduce in height a bit and can mix a bit better with the others

again, exciuse the crappy painting.  I am getting ready for a playtest this weekend and I want ot have painted figures.

I am really surprised at the size of the Redoubt figures. I have a lot of Old Glory and Foundry, with the Redoubt musketeers on the way.

Oh well. Won't stop me from buying across lines.

Pete,
  if you look at the otehr figures from the redoubt range they fit in very well with the other manufacturers.  Personally, I dont mind if the "Heros" are bigger than the rest.  After all, if you ever saw me next to John Holly, you would understand my point.  Not everyone is made the same height  

I dont think you will go wrong, especially since they are not in formed units, it will be a bit harder to tell the difference.

looking forward to seeing your setup.

I've painted all the Redoubt figures for a customer, and one day I'll get them for myself. They are VERY large by the standards of historical 28mms, although probably not compared to Reaper and other 'heroic fantasy' 28mms. My other swashbuckler figures are all Foundry, from the samll Elizabethan range done by Mike Owen, and quite robust by most standards. They look shrimpy in comparison with the Redoubt range - which, however, is wide enough to cover almost everything you need.

Howard,
  I agree, while Idont like the size Redoubt picked for their figures, there is almost little need for other manufacturers.  currently I have around 28-30 Redoubt figures with a few Reaper thrown in for townsfolk and such.  I might supplement a few from Foundry or Old glory for special characters, but other than that I am happy weith my collection.

Now I just need to finish painting them..............
