The Late Saxon/Anglo Dane set contains 60 superbly detailed miniatures.

This exceptional 60 figure set of 28mm hard plastic saxons has superbly detailed figures and a myriad of additional parts allowing hundreds of options when building the figures. Perfect for skirmish games such as SAGA.

This set is fully supported by a range of shield transfers and banner sheets from LBMS.

The armoured figures representing more well off and equipped select Fyrd or Theigns. The Unarmoured represent the standard not so well off Fyrd but still equipped with a stout shield and assortment of helmets and spears, swords and Saxes. Hand axes have not been included in this set not because the Saxons did not use hand axes but because the Viking set has a plethora of spare hand axes. You can use a lot of these with the new Saxon set.

The command frame has a monk and some armoured warriors that can be used as commanders, standard bearers and also when equipped with double handed Dane axes as Anglo Danish Huscarls.

Historical Insight: The Rus, primarily Swedes from Scandinavia, ventured eastward during the 8th to 9th centuries.

The Rus engaged in intense conflicts with neighbouring Slavic tribes and formidable steppe cultures like the Pechenegs, Bulgars, and Khazars. Employed as mercenaries by the Byzantines, they were also formidable adversaries, epitomized in the chronicled Battle of Silistria in 972, where they advanced in an unyielding shield-wall formation with levelled spears. Their naval prowess allowed them to dominate crucial trading routes, amassing wealth that was reflected in their diverse and culturally influenced armaments.

In the Box:

• 48 exquisitely crafted miniatures - 24 armoured and 24 unarmoured figures (4 of each sprue)
• 37 unique head designs - 148 heads in total
• Spears, swords, hand axes, and imposing two-handed axes
• Command figure parts, including horn blowers and standard bearers

Each of the figures are equipped with a unique array of headgear and helmet designs drawing from Slavic, Asiatic and traditional Scandinavian influences.

Shield Varieties: Accompanying shields range from variously sized round shields to distinctive Slavic rectangular shields. The set provides ample round shields to equip each figure.

Shield Transfers: We offer specific LMBS transfers designed exclusively for the Rus, which are truly stunning. However, you can also use any of the Viking shield transfers to customize your figures. All transfers can be found on the website and are purchased separately.

Versatility: Beyond depicting the Rus, these miniatures can double as the famed Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Empire or as Slavic warriors. Combine them with Victrix’s existing Viking set for even greater diversity, or transform them into archers using the Victrix Dark Age Archers set and additional Rus-specific components for an array of battlefield roles.

This exceptional 60 figure set of 28mm hard plastic Vikings has superbly detailed figures and a myriad of additional parts allowing hundreds of options when building the figures. 

Not only does this set include an extensive range of Viking armour and weapons, it also includes various head options which have been designed to capture the fierceness of the Viking race. This set is fully supported by a range of shield transfers and banner sheets from LBMS.
