Lovely. They haven't deviated too much from the Saxons in terms of garments and armours but the sculptor has still managed to retain a point of difference between the two protagonists.  8)

Nice figures but,if I were a Dark Age warrior I'd trade my mail shirt for a helmet.

A very good point but I have to say, the mini's with the missing helms appear to have a wee bit more character?

Could anyone suggest suitable Priest and Wizard figures that might match in with this range? I intend to use them both historically and with HoTT rules.

There's one here.
The rest of the pack would fit into the army as well:

Thanks Nick. I don't know why I didn't think of that pack for my priest  :?

I'll add it to my next order.

Check out Forged in Battle’s Arthurian range. They have a pack of monks and a character pack containing Merlin & Morgan.

Thank you Citizen. I will check these out later. My work computer reads Forged in Battle as a weapons site and therefore forbidden! Our security can be very priggish at times.
