Recommended Historical Rulesets

These figures are an excellent fit for a wide range of popular Dark Age and medieval wargames:

• Pillage — ideal skirmish-scale ranged support for your warband
• Ravenfeast — field archers and slingers as missile troops in your Viking-age warband
• Lion Rampant — use as Bidowers or Fierce Foot with ranged options depending on your retinue build
• Hail Caesar — bulk out your Dark Age divisions with skirmishing missile units
• SAGA — equip your Levy or Warriors with bows or slings across Saxon, Viking, Norman, and Frankish factions

Fantasy Conversion Potential

The dynamic poses and generic Dark Age aesthetic make these figures highly adaptable for fantasy settings:

• Kings of War — suitable as Human or Kingdoms of Men archers; slinger bodies work well for Scouts or skirmish-role units
• Warhammer: The Old World — convert into Empire Huntsmen, Bretonnian Peasant Bowmen, or Norse/Marauder missile troops with minimal modification; the variety of heads and weapon options makes faction-specific customisation straightforward
• The unarmoured and lightly armoured bodies also lend themselves to proxy use in any low-fantasy or historical-adjacent ruleset where human skirmishers are needed
