| Saxon shieldwall: Axes, swords, and the saxe-knife. |
I originally bought these Hammer of the Gods: Wargames Factory models during a business trip to Hawaii, but never painted them. I build them for a Saga game at Historicon, but never got around to playing them...oh well. I suppose I'll have to give my Viking Huscarls to my son to paint an opposing army.
 |
| Based and ready for priming. |
 |
| Spearmen on the painting table. |
 |
| Archers among the paint pots. |
 |
| Completed Command unit, armored, unlike their poorer comrades. |
My commands unit includes a noble, axeman, Saxon banner and musician. The mail-shirted figures are actually from the Huscarl box, but I thought it would look good to have the command unit (nobles and retainers) armored, as they are the wealthier leaders of the fyrd warband.
 |
| Fyrd archers: Basically farmers straight from the fields. |
 |
Some of the spearmen boast helms and leather armor, but most simply wore what
they had on to work the fields or fishing boats. |
The Wargames Factory models were very detailed and the sprues gave you many choices for poses, weapons, and heads. I would come them to the quality of Perry Bros. They went together easily, with some pinning required. Now, I just need to make some dark ages houses and a knarr or two!
