The perry ones are a bit nicer. Few more poses, mold lines better placed. Here is a handy post https://dotsofpaint.blogspot.com/2013/09/warlordperry-comparison-review-russian.html
I agree! I asked the Perrys whether they have plans to make Russians in greatcoats; the answer was that it's a low priority, which is a great shame. I have a friend who is designing some though, as resin casts, so that might get me out of a hole. I want the army to be portable.
Weight is a big issue with portability, so avoiding metal is a good step. It would probably be a simple conversion to get the warlord french in great coats, and the (late) russians and use the extra heads to make russians in great coats.
Hi Dave, the Warlords are OK minis, but the Russians had a longer-cut greatcoat and unusual straps. I'll probably need at least 400 of them so it's worth getting the right look if I can. :-)
Hi Carlo, for Naps I am mainly focussing on La Garde for 1814/Waterloo, and a post-1812 infantry division. Randomly, I also have most of a division of Dragoons.
My Napoleonic painting is currently at glacial speed so I might have something by the time you've written your rules,it's quite nice to feel no pressure! Best Iain
and perhaps a Napoleonic TtS!? Else, what rules are you playing?
ReplyDeleteHi von Bob, I can barely understand my own rules; there's no chance at all of me understanding anyone elses! ;-)

I forgot to say, you can order a sprue of each to do a test without throwing too much money at an uncertain project.
