Sorry, for the long break, the Summer Holidays always seem to take more time that expected. I've managed to get some painting done and I've finally the starter armies for my Basic Impetus Hastings Project.
The Norman army is based on a list found on the forum to slightly more accurately reflect the difficulties William must have experienced travelling bringing horses to England as part of the invasion. The infantry component is therefore stronger than the list for William in Normandy.
First, the most iconic part of any Norman army, the Milites. Three units of three horsemen, miniatures are by Conquest Games.
Next the infantry, four units of eight figures each. A combination of Crusader and Black Tree Design.
Finally the archers, vital for Hastings. Figures are by Black Tree.
A shot of the completed army for today's trial game, more of which in a future post.
Finally, shield transfers are by Veni Vidi Vici and Little Big Men, I think they really help to provide character to my otherwise mediocre painting. I have more figures on the paint bench to expand the cavalry arm further and will eventually get around to sorting out appropriate flags and banners.
