Hobby Bunker Sculpt Up Anglo-Saxons & Rus Princes For The Dark Ages
February 28, 2015 by brennon
Hobby Bunker, a Russian miniatures company, have put together two of their first historical releases for you to have a look at. Below you can check out their Anglo-Saxon and Rus Warlords that would be great for the likes of SAGA for example!
The first of the miniatures is the Anglo-Saxon Warlord who comes complete with sword held aloft and one of those very awesome Sutton Hoo style helmets with the full face mask. The legs look a bit short but other than that I think this is quite a cool warlord!
On the other side of things, sans-battle cry we have the Prince of Rus who is taking a more sedate approach to leadership. Saying that it does look like he's ready to pull out his sword and smack around some enemies so quite a cool commanding figure to lead your forces.
What do you think of this two?

Very nice minis!
Those are rather nice.
Did people have shorter legs in the Dark Ages?
I think the shorter legs might be a result of the perspective of the photo, taken from higher up with too short a lense. That would explain all of the upper body, heads and arms looking slightly too big, and the legs too small.
Another thing some of the more… “heroic” sculptors miss: a helmet actually increases the size of the head. 🙂
Anyway, I suggested it on Facebook and I’ll repeat it here: check out the releases from Drabant, another Russian studio. Some of the most historically correct Dark Age minis out there. http://www.drabant-miniatures.com/drabant.php?catalog=catalog28&last=last28
Yeah the Drabant stuff is also nice and sold by Old Glory in the UK
Didn’t know they are selling abroad, thanks.
Maybe I shall end up returning to Dark Ages in the end…
