Khurasan, AB, Warmodelling and Xan comparison

So if you are thinking about mixing ranges of figures the one thing you'll want to know is how does one range compare with another. Now with the launch of Khurasan's range we have more to choose from, and more to compare.

First up the Grenadiers. I only have Warmodelling Grenadiers and Carabiniers in combined battalions in my collection. However Warmodelling are a good match to AB and as you'll see Khurasan stand a good comparison to both AB and Warmodelling.

Likewise with the Legere, I only have AB and Xan in my collections. The Khurasan figure looks slightly more substantial than an AB, but the difference is hardly noticeable.

However with the Xan figures it is much more evident, and you only need to look at the bayonets to see that Xan and Khurasan don't mix. The curious thing is that the Xan and AB difference is less noticeable but I would not be to distressed with units from both Khurasan and Xan on the table together. Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder.

I really like the new Khurasan range and think they add to the options in 18mm.

As well as getting the Khurasan Grenadiers finished off, yesterday was spent sculpting hills for the Vimiero table. The table is done, bar picking up some terrain items and French ADCs from Colours next weekend. The big game is on track and I am thinking of running it several times with different players and possibly combining a Rolica, Vimiero mini campaign by carrying over the casualties from one game to the other.

So with the British and French staff being finished for Vimiero my next post will show some British/French Generals and staff, plus some different stuff I'm doing for friends. Onwards and Upwards.
