Hey guys,

I have a simple (I hope) question. Does anyone have some Perry British Napoleonic Infantry models (the plastics) beside Victrix British Napoleonic Infantry models? Or at least know how close the two of them are in scale? I really want to know if I can use them alongside eachother, or if one lot will be giants/deformed compared to the others.

Thanks

Thanks man, that makes it an easy call to mix them

They work really well together, I have units with both in them. I've even mixed heads and arms between the 2 sets.

I have heard that the Victrix models are a bit harder to put together, but I have not built any myself so take this with a grain of salt.

Also, with Victrix you will need to buy a flank company box and a center company. With Perry you get a number of flank company arms on the sprue. I based my Brits on a 20mm frontage (four minis on a 40mm sq base, two in front, two in back) and had enough arms to do one stand for the grenadiers and one for the lights, in addition to one command stand (officer, sgt, 2x standard bearers) and three other center company stands.
