Wouldn't it be a pleasant change if manufacturers took the trouble to find out how Franks shaved and cut their hair?

I think Crusader are the cheese sandwich of the minis world. Useful, and satisfactory, but impossible to get excited about.

I hear that! At the mo I'm shuttling between 'meh' and 'can I stick some Rohan horse plumes on these?' :) But I appreciate that they avoid 'right angle wrists', and almost avoid mitten hands... still a few overstarched tunics, though.

Please explain this.  These match up with a fair amount of the modern day interpretive artwork that I've seen for Franks fairly well.  I also wonder how, shy of pulling intact hair out of a peat bog somewhere, anyone can make authorotative claims about how  an entire tribe of peoples hair looked 2000 years ago in any case  :)
