The foot model looks like a Colin Patten sculpt, though I didn’t think he did any work for GB any more.

Their post on Fb confirmed it as a Colin Patten sculpt

... I have a few packs of the Saxon Miniatures Arthurian figures and the casting is TERRIBLE). ..Eclectic, you might say ;

I bought the Arthurian personalities and was quite pleased. I later purchased the Romano British armored figures and just like you said, the casting was terrible ! Put me off from any more Saxon Miniatures. Has Warlord rectified the casting problems?

I replaced the Warlord heads with Westwind Arthurian heads and they come out much better. Bit of a faff though.

Most of the figures are okay, but the faces are pretty poor. But if you slap on some paint they look okay. You can see my efforts here:

Those are from Warlord.

In case anyone has made it this far, just to remind people … these are by Gripping Beast.

If anyone wants to discuss their own miniatures or different brands I invite them to start their own post.

Nice job on these, very effective. It would be great if the mounted figure is available generally.
