Phil has kindly painted more Foundry Norman infantry for my '1066 & All That' project, delivering them into GHQ for basing last Tuesday. As you'll recall I hope I have based the collection so that one {or more} large bases can represent a unit using Hail Caesar as our current rules of choice. This base then represents a unit of Norman Heavy Infantry in mail ~
Phil's also working on a second batch of Norman infantry which I hope will be received towards the end of the month, other commission work permitting. After those and when he can fit them in I have a pack of Foundry archers and some Gripping Beast heavy cavalry, both groups for portraying the Breton allies accompanying William the B*stard in his invasion of Saxon England.
Nice to see them flagged and splendidly based.
ReplyDeleteThe very least they deserve!
DeleteVery good brushwork and the same for the basing. Is this one base only? If so, it looks like it would work for Impetvs or TtS! as well.
ReplyDeleteYes Jonathan, one base per unit is the aim. I liked the Impetus basing idea if not the rules. This is Poor Man's Hail Caesar if you like though I've no doubt the number of bases will grow over time. I'm a wargamer after all...😉
DeleteSplendid, simply splendid!
ReplyDeleteThat much appreciated SteveJ, thank you from both of us!
DeleteA lovely looking unit…
ReplyDeleteThat Phil sure knows how to colour in…
All the best. Aly
His colouring in is up there with the best, as I'm sure you'd agree.
DeleteVery nice looking base/unit there Dave.... a suberb joint effort indeed, bringing the project on nicely! Well done both!
ReplyDeleteThere are more in the queue this month.
DeleteYou lucky so and so David to have a quality painter on tap.
ReplyDeleteCan't argue with that can I?
