28mm Saxon Army

At our AGM last year I won a Saxon starter Army from Warlord Games. Not the best sculpts by any means, but for free, then fine. I had some metal metals from Wargames Foundry, Perrys and Gripping Beast and added some of the lovely Victrix Anglo/ Danes to up the numbers to a decent sized army for Sword & Spear rules.

Some units were getting steel spears

 The sprues were washed and then cut from sprue and kept in this boxed. I cut enough to make one unit at a time (20 figs)
