Saxon Warriors (Emhar)

Or, as with the Vikings...Emhar or Imex. as is shown in the PSR review.
Like the vikings, these are made of hard glueable plastic, and I´m in the process of converting a few now. The head swops are a dream...cut the head off one bod and glue on another (obviously the recipient has had his old head removed first)  using normal plastic kit glue.

These were sent to me along with the Vikings by Dan from the Command tent..and I say again, thanks mate...they are real fun to paint and convert. :-D

I went for a toned down colour scheme, no brightly coloured shileds etc.   I consider these the levy type of foot soldiers, no chain mail, basic helmets and weaponary.
One thing to watch out for...the thin parts like the shafts of weapons...only use a very tiny bit of glue on them...they melt very quickly!!!!

    Must admit I'm interested in these Paul, I believe you can bend their arms into different poses, within reason?
    Great work, BTW

    They look great Paul, love the colour palette that you have used. The photography for this set is also particularly good, really capturing the melee. Excellent.

    These were nice to work with when I did some 1/72 Rohan troops. I recall finding some of the spears brittle. And they look too thin to me, but perhaps my perspective has been put off by the beefy norms of 28mm. Great stuff you are doing here!

    There are more Saxon fans out here than one might think. About what Bob said, I just saw Laurel and Hardy tonight and realized Hardy was not really as fat as I had remembered him, or the norm today is more fat than it used to be--probably the latter. The other guy watching said he looks normal, not fat so much any more. So it's our way of looking at it.
