@ warlord games
I would like build a later gemanic army (Goth , Vandal),but the are very few models for this time period.
perhaps you could be as kind as to produce suitible models for this timeperiode

most thankfuly

Are Anglo-Saxons really that dissimilar from later Germanic tribes? Particularly considering that they are, technically, a later Germanic tribe?

Yes you could use the Gripping Beast plastic Saxons but you will need models without armour to make it a more realistic representation as only the select few had armour. Gripping beast have some nice metal Germanic figures without armour and Musketeer miniatures have a very nice range I think gripping beast are going to do non armoured versions of the Vikings and Saxons but dont think it will be this year

Don't 'the other plastic company beginning with W' do unarmoured plastic Saxons?

I have designs on the GB ones for some generic local bowmen/levy/call 'em what you will in a Stephen/Matilda-era campaign.

Thanks to all of you .
the trouble with the sugested models is that you have to have al kinds of set just to get apropriate figures.
I was look to the period between 350-600 ad , and I was hoping that warlord games could do one or two sets on this one.
and even if it is'nt released for another year and a half, I would be very happy .
