Warlord Games apparently bought the entire Dark Age range from Saxon Miniatures a couple of years ago. Very nice figures, the only quibble being that I swapped out the original white metal spears because they were a bit fragile and replaced them with steel ones. Much more sturdy. Though the steel ones can be sharp as hell, so best to blunt them down slightly with a small file.
The Normans in the photo are a commission job for someone. I finished them (after a very long delay) whilst convalescing at my parents. Since last year I've taken a knock with yet further health problems and only recently picked up a brush again. I did manage to do some reorganising of my lead mountain, and was stunned to realise exactly how much I had accumulated. There were three entire 15mm Essex ancients armies in one box I unearthed. It did also inspire me to finish some projects I began years ago. One of which is my 15mm Seven Years War Prussians. I'm determined to complete these by summer so I can finally face them off against my Russians.
