Armored Early Saxons

The current Late Roman range with some borrowing can provide a good variety of Early Medieval unarmored types, it's great! However, I feel the range would benefit greatly from a single pack with some armored, or otherwise sufficiently noble looking, Saxon warriors, round shields, some fun helm variety (a Sutton Hoo style could be fun, even if there's a decent chance the mask was ceremonial), and just a little more rag tag look than the armored Romans. It'd be great for groups like Hengist's personal retinue. Such troops could offer battle to Picts, to Romans like Count Theodosius, to legends like Votigern and Arthur. They'd probably make serviceable Goths, as a plus.

This request I humbly lay on our altar in the web.





This is the part where someone backs me up  :D

Count me in. The Vikings don't really cut the mustard as early Saxons.
