Victrix and Gripping beast for any "fillers" or new units once this lot are done!

Having bought Warlord Saxons/Vikings and then sourcing Gripping Beast I threw my Warlord stuff at ebay...now have to think about adding some Victrix stuff into my Dark Age armies ;)

Best of luck with your project - looks great so far.

1st & 2nd Saxon units done, for Sword & Spear rules. Only 11 more to go!

Mostly Warlord Games with some Victrix. Most shields hand painted, with a couple of the Warlord decals.
