I got a Gripping Beast SAGA 4 point Anglo Saxon warband for my birthday at the weekend, which will give me a perfect starting force or two for Ravenfeast. Although I have a Foundry Viking collection I quite like the idea of putting together one or two mid-Saxon skirmish forces, one of which would be West Saxon and the other possibly Mercian, pitching things in the early ninth century. This was the time of the West Saxon expansion into the South West, which I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on many years ago, so a subject of long term interest for me. I've already picked up some Gripping Beast plastic archers and shield transfers from eBay and so I'm thinking that this would be a cracking project for next month?
