Title: 10mm? Napoleonic French
Post by: WeeWars on 13 November 2013, 04:13:39 PM
Anyone knows who makes these figures advertised as 10mm on the Bay?

Old Glory are in strips for close-order infantry like these.

Redline French look like this:

The seller describes them as mixing with (larger) Magister Militum but not (smaller) Pendraken.

I was wondering if they could be small 15mms.

The seller was told that they are Redline which clearly they aren't but would make sense if they are another range owned by Bend Sinister.

The ones in the bottom picture look a bit like some early Chariot stuff

I think we can rule out Flashing Blade:

Anyone interested in a 1809 French infantryman in a loading pose might like to view these poses:

Fenton, Are early Chariot 15mm on the small size?

If I remember rightly they are...I think they were a similar size to Lancashire Games..the rifles are pretty poor quality on some of those pics

I agree, the weapons aren't even as good as the Flashing Blade muskets pictured above.

Looking at this image, must make them 15mm, surely.

I agree they look much more like 15mm sculpts to me.

As with others I agree they look '15' but the second pic standard bearer, drummer and officer have the hallmarks of Bend sinister sculpts, the thin, chisseled look is common within the range.
Maybe the same sculptor?
Cheers
