Dark Ages preps for Cancon

You may recall that the Man Cave Gamers are running a Dark Ages participation game at CANCON.  Of course moving house, Christmas, the Lad's birthday etc all got in the way of my preps but having just realised I have only a week to go, I'm now going full bore.
The majority of my Dark Ages figures
Mostly, its about basing the additional figures we will need, which Ken has already painted up. So I have to base about 20 figs per day to make it, as well as finishing off some terrain like the palisades and the church floor.  I'm sure I can do it though!
Men (and two shield maidens) of the Vik - thirsting for action!
Defending hearth and home - the Saxons (minus 25 already on the workbench)
That is probably enough chaps to form some decent SAGA warbands too!

  2. 20 a day! You can manage that Paul. Try to base 30 a day though, just to give yourself a safety net if something unexpected comes up.
