Goth Warriors

Just read the Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell and really wanted some Dark Age miniatures. These are perfect. They even have wolf tails to go on top of their helmets, just like Derfel’s warriors.

You get a ton of options for how you want to build these guys. The shields arms are flat to make it easier to glue the shields on, but if you wanted to use them without shields, you would never be able to tell once they are painted. There aren’t a tone of tiny details which makes them quick and easy to paint too.

I highly recommend these, especially if you are debating on whether or not to preorder the dark ages army builder set. As soon as I put these together and started painting, I ordered 3 boxes. Now kind of wishing I ordered more since they are so easy to paint.

I also recommend ordering a box of bases as well. Love that there are double sided so that you can hide the puddle base if you like. Just make sure you put the magnets in first before you glue the minis on.

This set is very useful as Saxons, Vandals, Heruls, Rugii, etc. not just as Goths. They are good for most late Germanic forces. They are fine as Visigoths, but need more archers for a Ostrogothic force. That being said, they are well designed, and fit together well to make believable poses. Recommended.

Fast shipping, good service, nice miniatures, what else ?

This kit has so many options and kitbashes beautifully with similarly scaled kits to produce some really great results. The detailing on the clothing and weapons is quite universal…meaning you can build all sorts of fun loving folks. I personally use them for Frostgrave combining them with Fireforge Almughavars to make some exceptional skirmishing minis. An A+ purchase

I bought these in order to build a unit of slingers and make the left over figures into archers. Unfortunately all the left arms on the sprue, (except the 3 holding bows, and 1 pointing), have been flattened in order to affix the shield which is flat on the reverse side.
This means there are no non deformed left arms to make the slinger figures.
