Finished Saxon Army.

Having finished,based and "flocked" my Saxons,I thought a few photo's would show how they look........


A shot from the front-6 units in both lines,plus "Leader" figures,with 16 figures per unit.


A shot from the side,I wanted to depict a sort of shield wall,but not too regular,so I've "staggered" the figures slightly.

They look formidable(well,to me anyway!) let's see how they perform........


A couple of units of Norman Knights(from my "El Cid" armies) attack the front line,will they hold?


Of course they will!!
Brian was going to paint a full Norman army,but unfortunately,due to on-going problems with his hands(but not his dice throwing!!) he can't,so I might give them a go,as well as painting a Viking army!!-busy little chap,eh?-it's just as well that I'm retired(I don't know if anyone knew that!)

      My advice to anyone is to retire at the earliest opportunity,draw your belt in and live life to the fullest.
      Thanks for kind comment on my army-they'll be swinging their axes at the earliest opportunity!!

    2. Thanks for the tip William. That's what I was thinking. I've enough figures that need painting(if one can ever have enough) to last a lifetime, and time is the precious commodity, even if I have to live nuts and berries.

  2. Very Nice! Warrior miniatures always look good.

    1. Hi Doug,my motto has always been "cheap and cheerful"-Warrior figures fit that bill perfectly,and using the 3 foot rule,they look good.
