In the last few weeks, I've been slowly painting my Saxon's and lamenting their imbalance in forces. Saxon's are mostly iron age people and as such would not have a great many armoured warriors. Alas, I have more Saxons wearing mail than without, so my ability to field a realistic Saxon war band is greatly diminished. The only solution is the acquisition of further miniatures as soon as possible! Alas, I shall probably not have much time for painting after the next week as I am both busy at work, and shall have another small moifling puttering about the place!
In anticipation of purchasing more unarmoured warriors and skirmishers in the future, I have divided my current stock into three distinct war bands. Most of these figures will feature in the concluding battle of TDM: chapter six.

Good looking figures Moif although I can't help thinking that a drybrush over the base would lift them a little.
What make are they?
Black tree design. I bought them ages ago, before the metal prices went up and BTD introduced their exorbitant new handling prices for Europe.
I prefer my bases to be as neutral as possible, without being just a plain black disk. To that end, I cover them with sand and paint it olive green. In the old days I used to use flock, but I've decided I don't like it. Simpler bases gives the figures a more symbolic 'chess like' feel, rather than looking like a modellers efforts. I guess its a question of style.
