A small update for the anglo-saxons: my levies with bow. Shortend the bows of this old plastic-bretonians from GW. Perhaps not the right era, but the miniatures were lying in the plastic-pile.
Pretty WIP at the moment, but you get the direction... ;)

So far the whole army is made of plastic, pretty good for transpotation.



Cheers,

Small double post. Finished some fatigue markers for my saxons today.



Perhaps I need some more, but in my first SAGA-games we used them quite often. So there seems no need for more the 7 for a 4pt-game...

Nice, I love the shields. Aren't those from the period of Emperor Constantine? Because I watched a film about Constantine earlier this year, and in the film he wanted his men to bear that mark, I think it was supposed to be something religious.

@Alien
To be true, I stolen the shield-design from the internet... lol
Thought it would be something late roman...

Okay, here are the first warrior unit and the levies.



Next are the 2nd warrior unit and the hearthguard...

Thanx, gents.
 
Here is the next warrior unit or at least the start of it. Will make up of 8.



Shields are in different colours to the first unit for easier differentiation of units.

Next are the hearthgurad... :)

I like your shields too and the picture...

I don't have yet managed to fit this picture like you :

Is it Westwind productions miniatures or Artizan Design ones ?
You will play those with Welsh, anglo-danes battlegrounds ?

All foundry. A bit static perhaps, but I really liek them: full of character.

Tried a bit on the shield design for my hearthguard...



Should have painted the bodies first... o_o
