More Dux Bellorum Saxons

[Rob Dean]

I spent lunches last week on these two stands of Saxons for the Osprey Game Dux Bellorum, in which each stand is a unit on its own.  All of the figures are home cast, mostly Prince August with a few spearmen from Dutkins Collectables. For the Saxon army, I'm doing it all with home cast figures, partly as an excuse for having the molds, partly as an artistic challenge. Practically speaking, there's probably more individualization and detail work than is actually necessary for a mass tabletop unit, but I like to err on the extra side...

Nice units!

Nice units - and clean casting - much better than what I used to get back in the day.

A little antimony in the alloy helps—it expands slightly on cooling, so helps fill the molds better.
