Gothic Metal!


No, not loud music.

Instead, I've painted some actual metal figures this time! (Shocking!)

I got these Pulp Figures Saxons from his 1066 line three Hotleads ago, to supplement my Dragon Rampant Rohirrim. 

Midgard has prompted me to push them ahead, because I need Goths to fight my Romans! Especially mounted heroes to lead the cavalry and some skirmishers.

Three mounted heroes. 

Isobel of Conches (with a different shield) and two armoured mounted Saxon warriors





One was obviously intended to be a not-Eowyn. Gothic warrior princesses are certainly a thing in legendary works, and Norse women of the warrior caste seemed to have been capable of leading their own warbands, so it's not too big a stretch really for high born Gothic women to have also been warriors. 

Just ignore the Medieval saddle. Which now I can't unsee, so she'll be used in extremis. I'll need more troops before I have the points to put three mounted heroes on the table.

A  unit of slingers. One pack of 5. This saves me trying to source a sixth figure for a Dragon Rampant unit.



Some baggage. As faithful readers know, I do love baggage elements. Although the very Norman looking casks maybe anachronistic. I've got some ox carts to refurbish as well. A migrating horde needs a lot of baggage.

  1. I love the 1066 Saxon range; great work getting them painted. Just pretend she acquired the saddle from the Huns (complete with stirrups....).
