Here are some photos I took of my Anglo Saxon collection, painted over several years.
Lots of different manufacturers on display here - all metal.
The Anglo Saxons certainly are an area of special interest for me. I think if I was to collect another Dark Age army it might be Irish or perhaps something that could stand in for the Cornish - both significant parts of my ancestry. One of the cool things about the Anglo Saxons is that many of them can stand in for warriors in a Middle Earth setting - another genre I collect 😊 The eagle-eyed among you may even notice some GW Middle Earth miniatures in there which I have re-purposed as Anglo Saxons. There are also some Anglo Saxons with distinctly equine shield designs & banner 😉
I still have more to paint up when I'm not painting Dwarves & Orcs.
Outstanding work...and most impressive pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. Took the pictures on the old ping pong table in the garage which we use for wargaming.
DeleteThanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, glad you enjoyed the pictures :-)
DeleteGreat photo's seeing them all together, a proper shieldwall.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Yes they certainly seem more impressive all lined up like this :-)
DeleteA whole table of loveliness you definately need somebody to fight against them 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt. I've used them in a Wessex vs Mercia game of Lion Rampant, those Anglo-Saxons were always fighting amongst themselves :-)
DeleteThat is one magnificent collection you have there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, it's taken me a while, but it's been fun :-)
DeleteFabulous project. Great painting of individuals and the massed effect of double ranks and long lines is impressive. I might repaint a couple of West Wind models after seeing your versions - much better colour choices than mine.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much indeed!
