Yet more 28mm Dark Age warriors

February's first finished figures (try saying that when drunk), are this trio of Dark Ages warriors.   They're from the Victrix Ancient Germans kit.  I bought a sprue of these in 2023 with an entirely different purpose for them.  When that project was swiftly abandoned, I initially didn't know what to do with them.  However, I've managed to shoehorn six of the eight figures into my Dark Ages forces where they'll be serving as Late-Romans, Goths or Norse. All the parts are from the Ancient Germans, except for the heads.  The bare heads are from the Unarmoured late-Romans set. The helmeted head is from the Vikings.  I think all three could serve in most Dark Age armies, although I suppose if you were being picky you'd only use the helmeted warrior in a Norse force. The left hands of the javelin throwers are cut and shut jobs, with a tiny joint at the wrist.  I’m amazed they’re still attached and will have to be very careful using these in a game. ...
