A&A Miniatures- Crusader Miniatures *Macedonia* Size Comparison

Post by Atheling_2006 »

Hi folks,

This is another one of my "I hope this is in the correct sub fora" posts? If not please move to a more appropriate place.

I'm wondering if anyone has any photo's of a size comparison between the A&A Miniatures and Crusader Miniatures (sold by North Star) Macedonian ranges please?

I realise that both ranges were sculpted by Mark Simms but they are years apart. Just wondering they would fit together nicely?

Any help appreciated :)

This is a comparison of their Carthaginians which might be indicative.

Thanks yeah, that's very good for the Carthaginians..... thing is Mark Sims sculpting style has changed over the years and the Carthaginians he did for both A&A and Crusader have a more condensed time span than do the A&A Macedonians and the Crusader Macedonians.

I think I need to see them up close and personal so might order a pack of each from A&A and Crusader.

If looking for Macedonians in general, I can compliment the Newline range, they look simple in the metal but do paint up really nicely.

I'm not a fan of Newline Designs. I have quite a few of their models from years back and the anatomy just doesn't look right IMHO.

My current thinking is, wait for the Foundry Sale at X-mas/New Year or go for Crusader mixed with A&A.
