...and New, all for the '1066 & All That' project. Firstly the 'Old', some Norman and Breton infantry. Normans are Foundry figures while the Bretons are from Black Tree or Renegade, an eBay purchase early last year I recall. They have made up one base/element of Heavy infantry and a couple of skirmisher bases (Bretons) ~
Next I made up two bases/elements of Medium infantry (Normans). Phil painted them of course, at OAP/Mates rates, thankfully ~
The first of the 'New' in the shape of some Foundry Norman armoured/heavy archers in rule terms. Of course Phil painted these for me I should say. I had thought to purchase a second pack but in the end decided against it this time round ~
And lastly then, some Footsore Miniatures Late Saxon slingers, sculpted by Matt and painted by yours truly, to deploy as skirmishers for Harald Bikersson's army ~
I might push the boat out and buy a pack of his/their Dark Age Welsh slingers too, though at £9.50 for 4 figures I find that they are on the steep side of expensive. I'm only a poor pensioner after all... especially after my Partizan spending spree!
Nice painting and brushwork. I think that slinger on the right of the bottom photo is a most convincing slinger pose, humble compared to the armoured stuff, but quite a stand-out figure.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, enthusiastic support always welcomed here in GHQ.
DeleteGood work, David! Some of the spearmen look like typical BTD poses but I cannot be for certain.
ReplyDeleteYou may be right Jonathan, I just can't recall.
DeleteRe-shaping nicely there Mr. B
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! More in your hands now of course.
DeleteA good mix of poses and unit types there David and all look fantastic as always. As Norm has already said, the slinger that has just loosed his stone is an excellent pose.
ReplyDeleteThe slinger seems to have touched the spot.
DeleteNice looking rebasing and new toys David .
ReplyDeleteI also think that the slingers make for a lovely animated unit.
All the best. Aly
Many thanks Aly, much appreciated.
DeleteGreat looking figures David.

DeleteGood stuff all round there Dave! Some very nice additions to the collection. I like the archers! 😉
ReplyDeleteDan and Dorris will be pleased!😁
