If I was doing these guys, and very tempted, then I’d use a combo of Victrix late Roman infantry, and early saxons. There are armoured and unarmoured sets, and barbari heads. On the other hand Vixtrix do acomplex sets with lots of bits. The gripping beast set is perfectly adequate but an ‘old’ set now.

I wondered about Victrix, discounted them because their early Saxons seemed too hirsute and northern, but then went back in the light of Julian Hannam's comment. At which point I noticed that the Unarmoured Late Romans include some Germanic/Goth variants using "some minor conversions from Dark Age Archers set".
