As promised/ threatened the second batch of the 28mm metal warlord Saxon slingers.
Not much to add about these. Just to prove that I did sixteen of them here is a group photograph:
Another eight 28mm foot @5 = 40 points.
Running total:
89 28mm (83/6m).
16x 15mm (16f)
44x 10mm (20f/24m)
149 figures (619 points)
In the category "easy pickings" here are some Warlord Saxon slingers. Again, very simple figures, and a corresponding easy paint job. Contrast paints and Army Painter speedpaints (well, the Deep Cut Speed Paint markers, to be honest). Nothing to be especially proud of, and just the first of two packs, but they are ready to be put on the table. Probably Saga again, these (once the second batch is done) can be a levy unit, or combined with some bowmen I guess (slings and bows having the same effect under the rules as I seem to remember).
They are not too bad, I suppose. I like it that there are eight unique poses in the pack. I am less enamored by the separate slings, they were not very easy to glue in place and I can see some of them breaking and going missing in battle very easily. Ah well.

Slowly getting back into the swing of things. I have always been interested in the post-Roman states, both on the Continent and in Britain. So of course have to have a sub-Roman/ Arthurian or Late Imperial force for Saga. I already have enough of them for a small warband, but one can always have more.
These are 28mm Crusader Miniatures. They are simple figures, but well sculpted and cast, and I really like them. There is not an overwhelming amount of detail on them, but the details are fairly crisp and they paint up nicely. For me, they have exactly the right look and feel for the period.
I mainly used contrast paints or speedpaints on them, experimenting a bit with the new speedpaint markers, then put a wash of “Marine Juice” over them and finished them of with the excellent Little Big Men transfers.
