Gripping Beast plastics are awesome.

I love the GB figures. I have bought the Vikings, Saxons, and Dark Age boxes. That makes my Anglo-Dane army well over 100 figures, and I have never found anything wrong with them. TIG

these were done for me, and they look better in person than in the photo.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. And they are in the US and not overseas.

I'm with you Legatus – I have the Vikings, Dark Age infantry and Arab plastics and while they are all okay, none of them can compare to the Perry WotR figures for, well pretty much anything. The GB figures are much more limited in the way you can use arms for instance. And GB have made no attempt to add metal head options so you can adapt their figures for specific armies.

They're okay but not in the same league as the Perries medieval plastics in my opinion.

Karnophage – you've done a very nice job with them!

The Viking and Saxon packs are generally regarded as better than the dark ages release of the unarmored warriors. This is unfortunate because if done right the unarmored warriors have almost unlimited potential use. Rather than increasing the options in this pack they reduced them.

some of you blokes don't seem to try hard enough.
