I'm continuing to expand my Swedish forces for ‘By Fire and Sword’.
Having already completed the basis for a ‘Field Skirmish Force’ last year, I now need to expand it to a ‘Garrison Skirmish Force’ and later the corresponding ‘Task Forces’.
I still had a box of ‘Thirty Years War Cavalry’ from Warlord's Epic range, which a friend had given me years ago and which now came in very handy.
Fortunately, the figures in the Epic Pike&Shotte range are slightly larger than those in Warlord's other Epic ranges, as the following size comparisons with BFaS figures from Wargamer.pl show:
Wargamer-Dragoner - Warlord Reiter - Wargamer Reiter - Wargamer Command
It is clear to see that even within the original BFaS ranges there are significant differences in size. If you place cardboard strips under the bases of the Epic figures to even out the height, you can use them without any problems.
However, I would avoid mixing Epic and other figures within a unit, as this is quite noticeable because the Epic range is much more ‘delicate’.
And the same goes for the infantry ranges as well, especially as even 15mm ranges differ in height:
Epic - Wargamer.pl - Totentanz - Totentanz
Warlord Epic and Wargamer.pl 15mm go well together but are both significantly smaller than 15mm Totentanz Miniatures.
