Early Saxon Characters

I am confident that I don't really need to say this, but I detest the modern trend started by Wargames Foundry of putting figures into blisters for sale. I look back nostalgically to The Lost Golden Age of buying figures individually to suit the look of units in MY armies. This is pertinent to my most recent efforts with the Brush of Doom in that I wanted specific figures for my Early Saxon  Sub-General bases from Gripping Beast but of course they are either sold in blisters of Characters or at inflated prices in Saga packaging. The result is that I'm left with these figures: a blind Seer and a rather over enthusiastic minstrel/bard! Neither of which I have much use for in Hail Caesar games,  but there you go have figures, will paint! My maxim of waste not, want not gets me again! Anyway, blathering on done with, here they be ~

The Blind Seer and guiding boy are just right for Dark Age/Fantasy games I'd say, so may get out in The Saga of Bicca Biccasson, if I can persuade anyone to give it a go that is. The other figure, well, it's a nice table filler, I'll give it that. Moving on, next up enduring their rite of passage under said brush are three 1st Corps figures suitable to populating a Sub-General base for my Arthurians. After those are completed I plan to move on to an Arthurian infantry unit which I'd hope to complete by the coming of Spring...at last!
