I wish you hadn't mentioned the 1066 range. Rather nice. However I think the potential customs hit might be a killer... Maybe look at a few when Northstar stock them...
Luckily I no longer have a hankering for any early Early Medieval figures. My great garage clear out showed me that I wasn't underestimating when I said my unpainted pile of 28mm Saxons, Vikings and Normans numbers in excess of 1000 figures. (That's just the "modern" style figures accrued from the very first GB range and onwards, I have a few hundred earlier by Essex and others!).
Oh - well, if you need to dispose of them - obviously, coming from your bargain basement...

I hopped onto the Stargrave Nickstarter (it closes today), mostly for the rules as I've already got a ton of 15mm figures. I'll probably use the figures anyway, although the last thing that the 'lead' pile needs is another 60 odd figures.

My copy of "Stargrave" dropped through the door this morning...well was handed to me by the Postie! Not really sure why I bought it, but judging by what i've been heaving out of the garage I may have a problem with RAA (Rules Acquisition Addiction).

Since its payday - an Essex Miniaturex 25mm Seljuk Elephant and crew, bargain at £5.99 I thought and a base worth x4 Saracen axe men.

I looked at the 1066 one, but the cost is prohibitive and frankly I think Footsore do a better range
Yeah, I was the same. I thought it was an odd period to start given its competition. Too many decent Normans, Saxons and Vikings out there already with lots of good plastics if you want to pad out for big battles.

That is a bargain! Me? More resin, and some Perry plastic desert rats to chop up for vehicle crews.

Turns out I only bought the crew. No matter as I've spare nellies from 1st Corps.

Oh
I am still looking for inspirational nellies in 28mm, I have a couple for my Sasanians, that are still in Oz that aren't bad, I think A&A or something?.
I want one is as impressive as the one that walked up our truck in Botswana, and decided not to tip it over, when it so obviously could have.

That is an african plains elephant, noticably larger than an indian or forest.
Look for a 28mm printable nellie, upscale it slightly...
Otherwise newline elephants aren't bad.
