Ok about to start collecting an Early Saxon range but not sure how to do it with the Pendraken ranges...


Anyone any ideas?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

ARL 10 Militia and ARL 16 Anglo-Saxon Mercenaries would be a start.  :D

The Late Romans (in the Ancients) can definitely supply a lot of what you need (and very nice figures they are too) - I'm sure you've already found the Dark Ages figures.

My Saxons are a mix of Pendraken (ARL 16, AS2, AS3, NO1, NO3, NO4) and another companies' 10mm Dacians. In the Pendraken ranges I have mentioned, some of the figures will be suitable and others not so much. I am also putting together an Irish/Scotti army comprised of another 10mm manufacturers figures as well as Pendraken medieval Welsh and Irish.

My Saxons are purely Pendraken, but no mounted as yet- anyone any ideas there ?

My early Saxons are culled from the Late Romans, the Norse and the Saxons (make sure you avoid figures with kite shields). Have a look at other companies' Goth cavalry if you want your mounted Saxons to have round rather than oval shields.

Sorry to butt in, but(t) which Pendraken are best for Dark Age Welsh? I've got the Normans, Vikings & Anglo-Danish I need for Saga, but haven't considered the Welsh...

I'll wait for some sarky comment from Ian, shall I ?  ;) ;D ;D
(I reckon it'll be something along the lines of...."Ask Phil. He's Welsh. He lives in the Dark Ages, and we never consider him.")
Cheers - Phil  ;)

Don't you just use any old figures, and paint one foot flesh?
