All your projects are so monumental and done so well. I hope you will enjoy Dark ages games. 😀<br /><br />But to echo some of the above: the warlord saxons are repackaged wargames factory models are of dubious quality. I’ve seen some people manage to get them to look decent but most people I know only use them when they couldn’t get gripping beast plastics. And GB makes plastic saxons as well. The GB plastics are great and the conquest plastics good if in my opinion a little bit fiddly to get to look right and rank up. I have both in my dark age armies.

They aint even worth the time for gluing them together... Looking forward to hear your opinion.<br /><br />Conquest games have some plastic archers that are excellent, much better then their infantry and their cavalry.<br /><br />At the moment I am painting some Rus Vikings so I have borrowed bits from Fireforge Games plastic Russians.<br /><br />Dont be afraid to kitbash in bits from other makers here. Some Fireforge Games sergeants bits such as padded armour looks nice in the mix.<br /><br />Best of luck with this project, looking forward to what you can make.<br /><br />Cheers/ JonasEngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815952011304493883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246194063827858977.post-1537445703340891382018-05-13T11:11:32.553+01:002018-05-13T11:11:32.553+01:00A great period for gaming.

Have fun assembling all those plastics<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing how you do your buildings and if you have longboats etc...<br /><br />You may be limiting yourself a bit by having multiple figures bases. Theres a lot to be said for single based figures and smaller engagements - which is the way I went for by Dark Ages project with adventure style games, ship to ship fighting, small battles e.g. fyrd intercepting viking raids and larger battles 100figs or more a side. <br />See my Blog the Nothelm Chronicle --> http://saxons-and-vikings.blogspot.co.uk/ tiddershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05238717340071258010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246194063827858977.post-19602727004728942462018-05-13T08:19:01.718+01:002018-05-13T08:19:01.718+01:00Quite an investment in 'plastic futures'. ...Quite an investment in 'plastic futures'.
