Workbench = more bloody Saxons! And having splashed out on some Warlord Saxon command last month I had a tidy up
yesterday and found the Foundry Saxon command I bought at Partizan last year... They are lovely crisp detailed figures that needed barely a touch with the file to prepare them. Unlike the three sodding Perry mounted Hospitallers that I spent ages trimming and filing to get all the crap off before I could prime them!!!! Grrrr.....

Very nice Jeremy, that's going to look great on the table. Hopefully you won't draw the 'via the swamp' card for your approach route...

Thanks Dave. Let’s hope not!

I have looked at Foundry a few times at shows and been put off by the bad castings, considering the price they charge.

It very much depends on the range with Foundry and how long the moulds have been in service. I bought some hoplites about five years ago and the castings were perfect, a quick dab with a needle file and the whole pack was paintworthy in less than ten minutes. I bought the same code in February this year and dremel, clippers and coping saw were all needed, about forty minutes per figure.

I've only used a few of the Foundry ranges. And all have been spot on. I've only used a few metal Perry's and they've all needed work....

The extra work removing vents etc... on Perries I've always thought was down to the level of detail and undercuts on their figures. Still a huge pain in the posterior though!

I’ve found Foundry to be mixed but mostly good quality. Just finished two character figures.
from them for the SP game next weekend
