Dark Ages

[ochoin]

Looking at Atheling's (vastly superior) figures inspired me to pull out my small SAGA late Saxon army.
You'll notice that there's a lot of figures (about 120)......I have no restraint!


Huscarls & Leaders to the front, Select Fyrd (didn't exist, evidently), flanked by archers in the second line & General Fyrd (as per previous comment) at the rear. To the left is the possibly mythical Saxon cavalry.




My hand painted flags are a feature (I wish!)


The arguable cavalry


Massed archers (maybe this *is* a fantasy army???)



Some of the "crazies".

Looking good.

A splendid array of Saxons!

Those look good
I don't play Saga but whatever rules you play it looks like a big army
You've got a lot of stuff Donald and a wide ranging collection - well done

Thanks, Kerry. You need about 20+ figures for a SAGA warband. As you can see, I have an army looking for a rule set......

Not very dark, you need a diversity and inclusion policy.

The preferred term these days is Early Medieval.

Nice looking army Donald - there’s a Lion Rampant variation for Early Medieval published in one of the WI’s that might suit that sized army.

Thanks. I was thinking about Neil Thomas' 'Ancient & Medieval Wargaming ' rules.
Pretty simple, I know. Any opinions?

Good to see this discussion as I'm wondering about rules to use for Viking/Saxon/ Romano British skirmish
