Retreat from Moscow - 25mm Size Comparison

 Just a small and quick post for today....

Stephan, aka Duke of Baylen asked a question about figure scale in the comments of me last post. 

He asked, "How well do the Silver Bayonet figures fit with the Perries? I imagine the former are rather larger but I haven't any to compare. My interest is how well the Silver Bayonet figures would fit with the Deadloque range which really are big [though full of character]."

So here's a pic that will give you all and Stephen an idea of their scale.



From L to R Essex, Eureka, North Star (Muskets & Tomahawks), Perry and finally The Silver Bayonet.

They're all based up on Warbases 2mm round bases, wit Eureka being the smallest, but its quite difficult to decide on the tallest, but hopefully, you'll all agree that you can quite easily use all these figures together with no issues? 
So what do you think????

  1. I think you should use them as-is. People come in all sizes anyway!

  2. I would have no heartburn mixing them.

  3. That look perfectly interchangeable Ray....the Silver Bayonet one may be the chunkiest, but not by much, and Grenzer John above is correct re mixing them together.

  4. I think they all work really well and seem a decent match of reach other, no one figure really towers over or is rally smaller than the next. Nice comparison shot.

  5. Look fine from here Ray. Good that there are multiple ranges to choose from for this project.

  7. I find that sometimes it is not so much the height that is the issue, but the differences in equipment size. They all look good to me.

    1. I think they all match it pretty well, but I know what you mean about the weapon size though.

  8. I'd be more than happy to mix them in units

  9. Certainly not a problem using any of the models shown together!

  10. Look fine together especially as not in units (where I prefer all figures to be same size)

  11. I can't see a problem, even less so at gaming distance on the table.

  12. Nice comparison of these figures and they look good together. 👍
    There is just one question in my mind. Why do you call this 25 mm figures? They are scale 1/56, not? If so they are 28 mm. There are figures in scale 1/72, like the brand Zvezda, who are 25,5 mm tall.

    1. It's just me I'm afraid. I call all 25-28mm figures 25mm, just for ease.

    2. It was my thought that you are lazy Ray. A 5 is lower on the keyboard as the 8. Just joking 😃, but I wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing something! The figures are fantastic painted and that is the most important thing!
