It seems to me that I started working on these figures for another Early Saxon warband eons ago, progress has seemed so glacial. The figures are from 1st Corps and are sold as Young Warriors. As such they sport almost no armour beyond the occasional helmet and are armed only with spear and shield in the main. They are posed mostly in one of two standing poses, the Command pack figures excepted. All in all they are far from striking figures; not poorly sculpted at all, just bland and disinteresting to my eye. While I'm on a roll, they don't really fit my idea of a 'young' look either, too many beards on show. In their favour though they are cheaper than their Gripping Beast alternatives! Though the latter are much 'younger' looking in my opinion, being clean shaven. Enough of my blathering, judge for yourselves if you would ~
Next to pass under the Brush of Doom are a base of Hearthguard for the Early Saxons. I'm currently waiting on delivery of the buckler transfers from LBMS/Victrix so once they are finished I will be off on a diversion as you've seen, hopefully to rejuvenate an old project and hopefully reinvigorate my flagging mojo for the Arthurian project one at the same time! More on all that in due course...
