Before starting SAGA, I had enough models to skirmish with Normans, Vikings and Saxons. The Welsh faction was a notable hole in my collection. I did stumble upon the idea of using Wargames Factory ancient German cavalry as a base for conversion.
The bearded fellow in front is just a German painted in a late dark ages scheme. Welsh at this time period were predominantly beardless, but that doesn't preclude a warrior with a shaggier personal preference:
This is a conversion involved using a Gripping Beast Saxon head with a cape made from Green stuff:

Finally, a conversion that's a WIP for a Welsh warlord combines a Conquest Games Norman body with a WF Saxon head. I love Conquest's Normans. The extra bodies in each box have a great deal of conversion potential.
Although in hindsight, this one looks more like Charlton Heston in El Cid than a Welsh nobleman. Hmm...next project: Conquest Normans into El Cid Spaniards...
