Bought thier "Age of Penda" line. Simply one of the finest 15mm line anywhere, any time period. I cannot wait to paint these up. Still working through some Saxons. Then some Irish. Gearing up for Fall-In. Anyway a big thumbs up!!! |

Never heard of them. Are they closer to 15mm or 18mm? |
| Rotundo | 14 Aug 2022 2:44 p.m. PST |
18mm. Meaty too. Try North Star figures then look for the Wiglaf prompt on the side menu. |

Yes, I completely agree-Wiglaf Miniatures are the best figures that I've ever seen in either 15mm or 18mm. I love the fact that the Saxons are all sculpted with their trademark Seax in addition to their primary weapon. The Readwald figure in his Sutton Hoo helmet is exquisite. Dan's Age of Penda rules are pretty good too, and make Dark Age warfare a lot more interesting. |

Is their Age of Penda range suitable for Alfred the Great? |

Archon64, Dan Mersey says that he commissioned his Wiglaf Miniatures range specifically for the 7th Century AD, and the shields and helmet styles do seem to back that up. E.g I don't think the Sutton Hoo and Roman-style helmets worn by the Raedwald and Penda figures were still in vogue in the 9th-10th centuries. In any case he knows far more about the period than me, so I'm more than happy to follow him. I did ask Dan whether his Age of Penda rules, as opposed to his Age of Penda figures, could be used for Alfred and Athelstan's wars and he said yes. |

I am using them, but I am not committed to history. I just love the minis…. |
| Archon64 | 18 Aug 2022 9:42 p.m. PST |
Thanks, English Thegn. Hopefully he'll do 9th-10th Century English as well. Rotundo is right about the figures though. |

My pleasure Archon64. Yes, it would be great if Dan expands his range one day. I agree, Rotundo is spot on-I'm sure many will use Dan's marvellous figures for all sorts of games. |

I am anxiously awaiting cavalry. The figures are excellent and the rules fun. |

I talked about this at Partizan and next are the Anglo-Saxon cavalry and then Welsh and Irish. |

Oh man, I need to make some room on the painting desk. |

I saw some of your other minis Atheling. Great stuff. Are you not tempted with these Wiglaf Minis? |
