Musketeer Miniatures Dark Ages Range

Musketeer Miniatures make a smallish but nice range of Dark Ages figures. They concentrate on two main areas, the early Anglo-Saxon/Romano-British/Arthurian era, and the East with Byzantines and Arabs. There is also a colourful blog with plenty of excellent photos of the Company's figures. Distribution is handled by Gripping Beast so orders should arrive quickly and accurately!

The sculpts are well posed with some nicely animated leader and personality figures in particular. Weapons and shields are separate, with shields included in the pack.

And now the comparison photos....
