Although the whole idea of the Ravenfeast project is to make use of my existing, pre-based and base coated 28mm Foundry Vikings, my gaze has been inevitably drawn towards the fantastic 18mm Age of Penda range from Wiglaf Miniatures, sculpted by my favourite artist Mark Copplestone. Although from the period prior to the Viking age, these figures would be perfect for skirmish wargaming between the West Saxons, Mercians and West Welsh in the early eighth century, which is an area of particular interest for me based on my academic studies. Not only that but they are relatively inexpensive, so that I could assemble two or three warbands for minimal cost. Dan Mersey, who commissioned the range and who runs Wiglaf, calls them 'travel sized 28"s' for obvious reasons, which also resonates with my limited space and storage situation. It's definitely something to think about....?
Great figures, Dan also said that the British are soon to be released
ReplyDeleteThey are fantastic. I think the Welsh are imminent!
