I am beginning to reach the bottom of this bag of 128 Corvus Miniatures, consisting of Varangian Guard and Saxons.
First up are 6 Saxon spearmen. I really like the helmets on these figures, as they are metal-framed with either horn or leather for the cao. I chose leather.
Next are 6 Saxon swordsmen. They will be used as unit leader figures for "Captains and Kings".
And 5 Varangian axemen, though they look like Normans with round shields to me. The pack was missing an axe, so one fellow got a left-over spear.
And a banner man, who will indicated the leader of the battle.
This leave me with 15 heavily-armored axemen with the axe raised over their heads, and I will be finished with the Corvus Miniatures.
However, I can never seem to find the end of these old peasant figures. Here are 8 more. Sure they're primitive by today's standards, but I'm rather fond of old lead. (they tend to be easier to paint). I know there are some more with glaives somewhere.
And last, and old fantasy figure that I've had around for a loooong time, but just repainted.
You can tell he's a fantasy figure by the use of buttons, which were not used to fasten clothing until the 13th century in the German area.
Being a bit tired of chainmail in 25mm, I'm taking a break and painting a "Rally Round The King" undead army before getting on with the last 15 Corvus Miniatures.
Very nicely done. Now you have to get them on the table!
