...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.
Lovely stuff David , I have some Napoleonic command bases on the table at the moment , I just can’t get round to finishing them off
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt! Perhaps these will nudge you forward on your own Command figures?
DeleteYou are trundling along nice and stoutly on the new oldish project. Splendid!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil!
DeleteBeautiful painted commands!
ReplyDeleteVery kind Michal, thanks!
DeleteA couple of good looking command stands David…
ReplyDeleteYou certainly set the standard for using “ left over” figures.
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly! It's a combo of hating blistered figure packs and not wanting to see money spent not appearing on the tabletop battlefield.
Deletelovely painted Saxon leaders - great!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Phil, all encouragement gratefully received!
DeleteLots of progress here. I hope they are as good at commanding as they are at looking the part.

So do I Stephen, so do I!
DeleteNicely done, I do like command bases and very much expect them to fight in return.
ReplyDeleteThank you George! I'm just grateful if mine show up usually, fighting well a bonus!
DeleteTwo great bases there David, with a nice contrast between the slightly 'portly' first chap and the second one who looks like he really means business:)!
ReplyDeleteThank you SteveJ! I identify with the stout chap!
