Anyway, I mentioned that I'd bought a box of the Gripping Beast plastic Saxons and one of the Vikings. I've tried to get the Saxons together, but things being as they are not had much luck ...
I have taken some photos of the sprues that are in the saxon box to share and they are below. First, though, a word about the figures ... they are IMHO brilliant and the 'extras' that come on the sprues are even better - as an example: there are 4 sprues with 10 limbless and headless 'bodies' on each - but there are 16 heads! how about that for choice!
Anyway, you get 4 identical sprues like this (front and back shot):
You also get two of these sprues, each of which has the bits to make standard bearers, musicians or a leader (well a guy with a cloak and arm holding a sword up!):
The Draco standards are brilliant as well. I've not got as far with the Vikings, but from what I have seen they are just as good.
Well, I'll try and get a more substantive post up soon, but am not holding my breath ...
