Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

I am looking at buying some figures (mounted and chariots) and am curious
about how Freikorp and Chariot stack up in comparison to Essex in 15mm?

I have refined my figure choices based on availability to Essex and Chariot.
I am familiar with Essex, but have never used Chariot figures. How do their
foot and horses compare to Essex? Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback. I am trying to piece together figures from
different ranges to put together Early Hebrews.

Big Daddy,

Nobody, but nobody can hold a candle to Essex in 15mm. Nobody else
even comes close, particularly with regard to their very realistic and
well proportioned horses. An occasional figure here or there is better
in Museum (Medievals, e.g.) or Old Glory (pikemen and hoplites), but
the other 15mm humans are all by far either too dwarflike (Tin
soldier) or too spindly (e.g. Museum ancients). I think Chariot falls
on the spindly edge of this spectrum. In my view, the only figures
that Essex does not do well, oddly enough, are hoplites and successor
pikemen, whose shields are far too small in diameter and/or without
rims.
