I'm going to be building some new warbands for Ravenfeast, SAGA and The Barons' War Conquest and my first port of call was the awesome collection of 28mm plastic Historical miniatures from Victrix Miniatures. I thought I'd do a quick review of the Norman Infantry and Late Saxons that will be making up my warbands!
► Victrix Miniatures www.victrixlimited.com/
► Dark Age Range www.victrixlimited.com/collec...
► Late Saxons / Anglo-Danes www.victrixlimited.com/collec...
► Normans www.victrixlimited.com/collec...
I have a look at the two Skirmish Sets that you can get for both the Normans and the Late Saxons. These give you around thirty miniatures that are great for making warbands for most games. You can also get these 28mm Historical wargaming miniatures in larger sets which offer you more choices.
Let me know what you think of the Victrix plastics!

I love Victrix minis. Have built Saxons, Vikings and Normans for the Barons War Conquest rules.

@BecauseOfDragons 11 месяцев назад

Ah awesome - I am SO close to buying some more and getting Vikings and some Norman Crossbowmen to slot into the collection.

I used, mostly, Vitrix Vikings for a Dunland army (with Dark Age Irish, from possibly Wargames Atlantic as Wildmen - and a few Norman cavalry for mounted units). I've also a few GW minis in the mix as well as odd sprues picked up to help conversions. I think it makes for an interesting looking army

@AndrewMcColl 11 месяцев назад

How well do the Victrix scale to the official models. I feel like they'd be a bit taller, but I'm not sure.

@BecauseOfDragons 11 месяцев назад

Oooh some good shouts - good idea for nailing that Historical vibe that Tolkien often had with the various factions. I like that idea :)

@stuarthill5309 11 месяцев назад

@@AndrewMcColl , they are more heroic scale, but close enough. Also with the limited number of GW sculpts there will be less repetition. Silly question, can I add pics on a RU-vid vid comment?

I don't play "War Games" with figurines, but I do build 28mm figures, mostly British Victorian/Imperial Wars because they are fun to paint...but after watching your video I think I'd like to try my hand at painting Norman Infantry and Late Saxons. Great video by the way, well done Sir, well done indeed. I assume it's okay to build and paint these figures just for the fun of it.

@BecauseOfDragons 10 дней назад

It very much is! Totally allowed to just pick up the miniatures and paint them without the need to do any gaming :) Thanks for watching and I hope you have some fun with the miniatures if you get them!

@paulwalker5221 11 месяцев назад

I have just got some Anglo Danes, but not yet built any. I have also used the Viking set as a wild men band in my LOTR skirmish games. They are all lovely minis but some of the spears are quite fragile so you need pack them well when taking them to a game and when handling during playing.

@BecauseOfDragons 11 месяцев назад

For sure - the sword on my one chap was quite fragile. I will keep what you said in mind for the spear-armed chaps!

@vhcsPT 11 месяцев назад

Victrix miniatures are just amazing. I bought the full bags , not the skirmish ones, and really liked them. I also own a lot of Gripping Beast, and they mix very well.

@BecauseOfDragons 11 месяцев назад

Yeah it seems like they should be great for conversions and kit bashing

@gasmonkey1000 10 месяцев назад

I'm curious... How well do ya think the Norman Victrix minis could be kitbashed into planet28 regiments?

@BecauseOfDragons 10 месяцев назад

I think fairly well. Whilst there are specific bits that can be used with certain bodies, they aren't so prescriptive that you MUST stick to that so you could easily chop and change arms, legs, weapons and heads.

@gasmonkey1000 10 месяцев назад

@@BecauseOfDragons Thanks man

@banjohumphrey 11 месяцев назад

How do you think these heads would look on space marines (in terms of scale)?

@BecauseOfDragons 11 месяцев назад

They might work. I did a quick comparison just eye-balling it right now and they are around the right size but you might need to build up a bit in the neck space of the Space Marine for them to sit well.

@banjohumphrey 11 месяцев назад

That's great to hear, thanks for the help. I think I'll go for the late Roman heavy cavalry kit, I want to try going for abit of a Sutton hoo/Anglo Saxon look and they have plenty of heads I think I can make work in that kit
