Reply To: Looking for Good Slinger Minis for Saga

Evening brother @lloyd!

If you need them at short notice, Gripping Beast’s Dark Age Warriors kit has optional hands to convert the spear arms into slingers. Figures are a tad static but £22 for 40 of em is pretty good. The ability to switch the heads out gives you a few more options and you could always give them capes or something to make them more unique.

On the subject of head-swaps, since you’ve already got experience with Fireforge plastics, you could convert the plastic Mongol infantry with the use of a few head swaps to create Rus militia archers, or Bulgarian levy archers for example for the Byzantines.

It’s weighing up the costs and benefits of 12 really nice metal miniatures vs potentially 40 fairly ubiquitous plastics (24 to a box for the Mongols).

Warhansa’s Rus archers also look cool btw…
