Hengist and Horsa

 Along with my 1st Corps order for the Early Saxon Warband of Young Warriors I also purchased the Hengist and Horsa pack of character figures. After finishing the Knights of the Round Table figures I slipped the two into the painting queue ahead of the warriors as I rather liked the look of them ~

Horsa, on the left here, will lead my Hearthguard for the Early Saxons. My order for the figures to make up that unit is on its way from Gripping Beast even as I type this entry. 
Hengist, on the right in the first picture obviously, will lead the Arthurian Hearthguard,  the Wolftail Warriors I have featured earlier in a blog entry for this project ~
The Warband of Young Warriors for the Early Saxons are well underway now, with one base already completed. More on them hopefully in the coming days as they pass under the Brush of Doom...

  6. They look full of character. I can see why they moved to the front of the painting queue.

    1. They were certainly more interesting to tackle than the Young Warriors! And there were only two of them!!!
