Oh come on Nick, don't be a pussy... Giles has even learned the rules now
Meanwhile, back on the beach... The next family of Saxon invaders wade ashore to claim their little slice of Britannia...
I've decided this chap will be my warlord.
Almost any of the Musketeer Miniature personality figures (and there are a lot of them, all lovely) would do as C-in-C. But this fellow looks like he's giving orders, so it may as well be him.
His son is with him - he'll be fighting in the levy with his sling until he can grow a beard.
Plus his trusty horn bearer, so the big chief can issue orders to his followers around the field of battle...
By incorporating a couple of the more Romano-Brit looking types (I think they're all pretty interchangeable really), that takes me to 19 painted warriors, which is over halfway to my first Saga-force - yay! Here is a pic of the whole clan so far, by way of celebration...
I've got six more in prep, and after that, only a dozen more figures will take me to the minimum necessary establishment.
After that - onto the Arthurians, which I have all lined up and ready to go. I'm looking forward to doing them even more than the Saxons... Lovely, lovely cavalry
Then there's the small matter of 20 more Napoleonic British sailors and Royal Marines in the queue... Plus 10 Game of Thrones plastic conversions... And so it goes on... So many figures, so little time...
