Sound of the Axe-work

   I've not done a huge amount of hobby recently but I was determined to get my Saxons finished before the end of the month, so I could spend December painting up anything else that I fancied. This post is the last of my Saxon backlog;


The various Saxon Warlords, 2 Anglo-Dane and 1 I will use as Anglo-Saxon (Hereward the Wake is just too cool a model not to have as an Anglo-Saxon Generic Warlord). 

The last of my current Anglo-Danish Hearthguard, although I plan to add a single blister of the new Warlord Games one when they are released. 

 The last Anglo-Saxon stragglers

So that brings my Anglo-Saxon force up to 27 points for Lion Rampant (with a few extra Heartguard) and about 9 points for Saga, while my Anglo-Danes lag behind slightly but will be expanded in the future. I just need to get my movement trays painted up for both forces.

Thanks for reading

  5. Really excellent job Mike, and you have single-handedly convinced me to keep hold of my stalled Dark Age project! (I was going to ebay it all, but thanks to you they'll now be a project for the new year ahead)
    Do you use "Lion Rampant" as is, or apply any Dark Ages mods to them?

    1. Thanks Addict, glad I can be of service.
      We use it straight from the book - shieldwalls vs shieldwalls feels right as it is. Although we have changed shooting to be half dice at over half range as it can be too effective.
