Huscarls (Spätsachsen/Anglodänen)

I normally hate figures which consist of more than one part. I still loathe them beyond measure, however these figures were well worth the pain.

This set has much to commend it in terms of the highly animated sculpts, very crisp moulding and exquisite detail - attributes shared by all the sets in the Victrix Ltd Viking Age range; however, therein lies the rub, as the two 6-figure command frames of this set are identical to the command frames supplied in the Late Saxon / Anglo Dane set (VXDA0002). Furthermore, the 4-figures on the six main warrior frames of this set are virtually identical to the four armoured figures on the 8-figure main warrior frames of the Late Saxon / Anglo Dane set (VXDA0002); the differences come down to a few extra cross-body straps and different facial expressions on the two figures with integrated heads contained on the Huscarls set main warrior frame. All these armoured figures, in both sets, also have integrated upper arm sections, as a consequence the scope for diversity of pose is hindered significantly unless you resort to some significant modification.

Superb miniatures. Excellent. Horrible guide to mounting.

Great detailed warriors, really looking forward to making these miniatures.

Minis go together easily, great quality - and a huge bag of them!
