Last month or so has been pretty busy, been working on my
car, karts, house and other things, but I did clean up and assemble a whole
bunch of Romans, as well as a bunch of Saxon Miniatures, Saxon Warlord line.
As you can see in the pic of the Romans, there are a lot of
the legionaries assembled, all of which are Warlord Games models. After seeing the Victrix model preview, I
kind of wish that I would have waited, but I did get a really good buy on these
off of Ebay, about a 1/3 of the price of the brand new army box. I also have a couple of RAFM onagers that I
assembled a crew to man them from these plastics and a couple more
scorpions. Also as you can see in the
pic while I was watching something on TV, I decided to fix the pose with the
arrow by it on a lot of these, by standing them up more straight. More on that conversion later.
Below is a pic of the Saxon Warlords, actually only a
portion of the Warlords, as I pulled out a couple to include in my early crusades
army that has a sort of Norman feel to it.
Also buried in there is a Warlord Games Celt that I converted to add to
my Viking horde. I’ll have a more
detailed review of them later and size comparison shots with other
manufacturers. Some of the models are
very nice. A few of them have some
casting hick-ups with smoothness in the capes that need to be filed and
sanded. No real mold lines problems and
flash to speak of. I do like the Saxon
Miniatures’s Saxons. My Saxon army is
one of the next ones that I have primed and ready for paint, these will be
added as characters and such.
