Saxons and Moors update

With the preparation for today’s Phoenix Wargame show completed I have been trundling on with my Dark Age/Crusades project. In one of the previous posts I shared the Saxons and Norman’s. So here is a photo of the Islamic Forces as they are 😢, a lot of work to be done although I can probably squeeze in a unit of African tribes men and my camel archers. I have quite few units already bought just need to crack on. I will be filling in those few gaps and I have enough figures for probabaly two more infantry units and a cavalry unit.

I have enough for a reasonable skirmish force

I have also completed these Saxon warriors. They are Wargames Factory figures which had been built and prepared but had been languishing in a box. They are definately not the best figures and I wouldn’t buy any more far to wooden, however I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of them and painted up they provide another solid foot unit bringing the Saxons upto 6 blocks.

...and  here is what I was working on last night another infantry unit of Normans, the spare two crusaders are to fill in some gaps in another unit

Better get off to the show now....so nice that it is only 5 minutes away 😀
