The Aeroart King Henry V battle set is compatible size-wise with the FL Agincourt range. It comes with one flag. Originally you could buy it with one of two flags, King Henry's actual personal flag with cross or a more traditional English Flag.
King Henry's personal flag is the harder one to get. When the set was first produced a few versions of each set were made with swallowtail flags. The prototypes were photographed w/ these flags. Aeroart replaced these flags on all future sets with square flags as they determined the swallowtail flags were not historically accurate.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Very useful. I prefer the traditional flag version myself.
Do you have any pictures to show that it is compatible with FL by any chance?
Cheers

Not sure what happened with the one above, but here you go:
Aeroart Haenry Vth set with FL Agincourt. I put the sword tip of the FL in the hand of the Aeroart so you can see that he is in the front plane and not in the back near Henry.
Thanks Zach, much appreciated - that was exactly what I was hoping to see.

Size-wise we have compatibility. Although the painting of the armor and fabrics of the FL figure is of a lower level than that of the Aeroart piece, I wouldn't say this would eliminate them from being displayed together. However, if I were to display them together I would probably repaint the FL knight's armor to some degree for more harmony w/ the Aeroart set. It's hard to say though since I don't have the FL knight in front of me.

I am coming out the same way you do. Something needs adjustment if full compatibility is to be accomplished. I would probably not put them right next to each other without some repainting.
BTW: I used the Henry V figure from Metal Corp. as I could not use the Henry V figure from FL unfortunately in my narrative.

Looks to me that the FL figures would need toning down, perhaps a black colour wash?

I just wanted to mention that maybe a darker tone of the English armor vs the French armor is justified as the English had already been slogging through battles and mud by October while the French aristocracy was mint. Just saying.
