For anyone considering purchase of the Dark Age Irish Warriors box, this review offers a very thorough look as well as a close up comparison with Gripping Beast plastic figures. You'll see the ranges are very compatible. I agree with the reviewer that these are among the best pladtic figures on the market.

@Don Williams
Thank You. That's a superior review.
I believe the author posted a review on the WGA Aztec kit here:
https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/74577/plastic-aztec-warriors-review
The single best kit review I've ever seen.
I have to admit I hadn't taken in that there are 10 wolfhounds in the kit. I reckon I'll pick a box up at some point - I've probably got enough "Dark" Age minis really, but these do add variety and the dogs are very useful.
@Mark Dewis The Irishg were the first full WA kit i got. (I got haflings first, but just a free sprue from the Survey thing a couple year back).
Now I have:
Irish
Aztecs
Haflings
Cannon Fodder 1
Cannon Fodder 2
Conquistadors
Lizardmen (1 sprue)
Goblins (1 Sprue)
Horses (1 sprue)
I like all of them. Conquistadors probably being my favorite, but the Irish are a close second.
the dogs are very useful.
First non-undead I ever finished painting. And uhm... I don't remember if the ghost dog or the skeleton rat (from the Kings of War skeleton sprue) was the first overall. Also, the Irish box is even a touch cheaper than the standard WGA price.
@William Redford I've racked up: Halflings, Lizardmen, Cannon Fodder 1 &2, Boxers and Bulldogs so far, plus the Eisenkern Panzerjaeger girls.
@Mark Dewis I am interested in the Boxers. But I am guessing my next box will be Ooh Rah followed by Ogres. But Now I want the new Mantic Ogres too...
@William Redford
Can you pop a WGA goblin on a WGA horse and tell us if it fits? It keeps coming up and no seems to actually know. It's a mystery wrapped in a conundrum.
@JTam Well, My horses have human riders. I could post a pic of the riders and horses next to a goblin... but thats pretty much all I could accomplish.
@William Redford
Ah, you're a glue the riders on guy. Oh well.
Appreciate it anyway.
Here is a female soldier conversion (fireforge rabble head), some goblins and a bonus Perry light cavalry coversion.
@William Redford Nice job, for better results you could always try the female barbarians' heads & torsos from Frostgrave, with plastic's flexibility shouldn't be difficult to adapt the upper torsos to a rider's legs👍
@Alessio De Carolis I will see. I preordered the barbarians so should get them soon I hope. I will also have the new Scythian/Amazon girls from RDG gaming. I got my shipping notice thst they should be here Monday. Those actually have rider legs too.
