Bicca Se Bealda...

...and other Early Saxon Commanders! Following on from the Gripping Beast Arthurian Hearthguard figures I turned to two sets of Gripping Beast Early Saxon Characters for my next step, supplemented by a lone 1st Corps figure ~ which will be easily spotted given the difference in style and heft! Firstly then the stout figure of Bicca Se Bealda, with Draco bearer and a supporting somewhat smaller figure sporting another left over LBMS Shield transfer ~

Then a second base featuring an Early Saxon Warlord and Draco bearer, supported by a figure borrowed from the Wolftail Warriors pack. His cast on shield featuring another left over LBMS Shield Transfer. Waste not, want not after all ~

Next to pass under the Brush of Doom will be three more figures from the Gripping Beast Early Saxons Characters packs. Arthurian figures to make up a second command base for Arthur's foot should be after those. More on all this as and when.

    1. Thank you Matt! Perhaps these will nudge you forward on your own Command figures?
