Saxon force for whatever

Since February I've painted up a force of plastic Saxons using Gripping Beast miniatures (plastic Saxons Thegns and Dark Age Warriors).

I'm not going to bore you with shots of the individuals, but rather just a shot of the lot. I hate painting lots of minis in one go, but I like the look. Also I am no fan of putting together plastics (unless I'm trying to be creative about it... this is just droning assembly line work).

So here goes:

Very lovely!

Is the frontman Gripping Beast, too? He seems to have more Foundry-esque or Artizan-esque quality to my eye, but if I'm wrong, I'm wrong :)

Ah, he's an Artizan Viking. Only Mike Owen sculpts cloaks like that:

Nice warband!

I hope to have some Viking raiders painted about this time next year, so maybe we can duke it out with whatever ruleset is the Dark Age fancy then...  lol
