From MartinC Quite a lot of Saxons and some more Tripods (218pts)

12 months ago my brother in law, also name Martin, ruptured his achilles playing a full game of football. He is 58 and everyone took the piss out of him apart from my sister, who was less than impressed, to say the least.

Very quickly he got very bored and asked me to teach him to wargame. So I taught him how to play Kings of War Historical, the maddest set of rules and the most fun. We played Picts vs Saxons and he really enjoyed it. So I started to build him a Saxon army. This is the next part, and probably the last of the infantry. The figures are a box of Gripping Beast dark age warriors, and a simple paint

Regiment of warriors

Regiment of spearmen

Troop of singers, these are a simple conversion with a hand swap. The slings are in the box

My dalliance with tripods continues, and will probably end with these 3 small scout tripods from Pendraken 

The are about tree height, and I bent some metal trees over to give a sense of movement, and to help support them

Scores on the doors

40 x 28mm infantry = 200pts

3 x10mm vehicles = 18pts

Total 218pts

Great that you able to get your BIL into ancients Martin, and those are very nice Saxons you've done for him.  The GB plastics are a cost effective way to get some armies together.  Have you looked at the Victoria saxons (or late Romans)?  The two makes go together well, even for kitbashing.  Not sure about using slings in close formation like that, looks like a good way to get brained by your neighbours.  Really like the tripod tree surgeons too.
