Saxons for 1066

The Saxon force for my 1066 & All That project are all completed and rebased according to our new plan. All of the figures we sculpted by my son Matthew, the right Division's general base of three figures for Footsore, the rest for Wargames Foundry.  I had to add two new foot units/bases, of Warriors with spears and of Thegns, together with three new bases of skirmishers and two more mounted Warriors to make up a base. For now that allows the Saxons three divisions of four units with skirmishers and generals ~

The whole Saxon force drawn up into three Divisions.

On the left, Thegns supported by mounted Warriors and Medium Archers, with bow armed skirmishers to their front.

In the centre, Harald Bikersson's Hearth Guard supported by Warriors with spears.

On the left, Ceorls supported by Medium Archers, with javelin armed skirmishers to their front.

Next I have to set to and begin rebasing the Norman force in similar style. Phil has got more knights underway for me so I'll probably start with the mounted elements of the Normans. He also has some armoured archers ready to paint and I've infantry in mail still to clean up and spray undercoat. I think it's fair to say it will be a few weeks until the Normans match the Saxons on the tabletop battlefield. I'll keep you posted on our progress.
