Victrix Limited provides the essential toolkit for builders recreating the Migration Period, and this 28mm scale set of 36 modular Early Saxon warriors is a standout example. These Warriors of Antiquity are engineered in high-grade polystyrene to offer the needle-sharp detail and anatomical precision required to bring a shield wall to life. For the dedicated hobbyist, this kit serves as the definitive tactical core for any 4th–6th century project, allowing every Saxon, Angle, Jute, or Dane in your unit to be customized with a unique pose and weapon loadout.
This set is a comprehensive resource for kitbashers, packing 36 figures across seven high-density frames into a single bag. You have the freedom to mix and match elite mail-clad hearthguards in ornate helmets and cloaks with agile unarmoured raiders and essential ranged support. Because these are true multi-part plastic figures, the parts swap naturally with other Victrix Ltd Dark Age sets and scale correctly with premium metal miniatures to ensure your tabletop force looks like a cohesive, museum-quality battle scene.
