A long time ago, when I and the world were young, or at least it seems that way, I bought two more packs of Norman Cavalry sculpted by my son Matt for Wargames Foundry. Off they went to Phil, like all their predecessors, to be painted as and when he could fit them in amongst his much more important regular customers! Well, eons later (joking Phil) here they are ready for the tabletop, when I get round to grass 'n tufting the whole 1066 project that is!
Phil also very kindly painted the splendid standard for them. At a push they might fight his growing Byzantine army as we are not the types to get hung up on a little ahistorical action. I might even have finished them off by applying the static grass and Tufts by then ...
Well worth the wait I’d say David…
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t worry about a game with Phil’s Byzantines… the button counters can’t really say anything… because apparently buttons as we know them only started to appear in the 13th century 😁.
All the best. Aly
Touché!
DeleteVery good Aly!!!
DeleteYes, it was.
DeleteAnother fine unit and a favourite force of mine, ever since seeing an Osprey book on them illustrated by the late, great Angus McBride.

He did, didn't he? Merry Christmas to you too Christopher.
Delete"eons" cheeky begger🙂 Glad they were worth the wait, a shame I shall have to annihilate them🙂
ReplyDeleteWell, you have been the Normans in games, so that's probably about right...😉
DeleteVery nice David I have the same pack…which I painted up for our 1066 battle 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt.
