14 bod poses and the all too familiar Nags. Not too much wrong with the nags, they have thier faults but seeing as they Feature in nearly all the Strelets Norman Range and a few other medieval /Dark Age cavalry sets, tis bout time some new nags twere sculpted methinks.
As with my previous efforts at Normans, I´ve stuck with the red/White shield Patterns..I know, not historically correct but I like it and anyways, I can use them in a Fantasy role alongside the Dwarves and elves in keeping those pesky orcs in check.
A couple of the nags got swopped for ones from other makes, the standard (originally a moulded flag) got removed and replaced with a paper one, one or two weapons got swopped, Lances and an axe or two
Massed Norman cavalry.
46 in total, mainly Strelets but with additions of 4 from HäT´s El Cid Spanish Heavy Cavalry and 4 metal ones (I´ve forgotton which make)
Dynamic and superb, Oto's my favourite...
ReplyDeleteA great looking charge!
ReplyDeleteA splendid force. I really like the personality figures, but currently I don't need any extra Normans.
ReplyDeleteThanks Will. You can never have enough Normans..or come to that, any soldiers :-)
DeleteSuperb Paul! The massed cavalry shots are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnother triumph, Paul. Bill the Conk's teddy appears to have gone rigid with fright.
ReplyDelete...or rigid with exictment :-)
DeleteGreat great great!
ReplyDeleteI don't like the horses because I have trouble mounting the riders on them.
Thanks Phil.
DeleteThe saddles are usually a bit too tight. I sort this by slicing a bit from the saddles (inside the front and back supports) If the rider still doesn´t sit, his legs aren´t wide enough or the saddle is to wide (the horse is too fat) I slice away from inside the riders legs and the saddle.
hi
ReplyDeletesehen klasse aus
bin zur zeit die gleichen am malen
Helo Paul, yes William removed his helmet after the cry had been sounded that he had been killed. (Teddy!) I love the Flag,the figures,and your write-up on how and why you decided to paint them.
ReplyDeleteNice work and presented well with photographs. BB
Fantastic figures!
ReplyDeletePaul, which is the size of this basing? it seems to be 30mm am I right? nice job! good blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hernan.
DeleteThe bases are 45mm in Diameter, a bit wide but that´s down to that the horses bases (the ones they come attached to ) are that Long so I Chose bases that fitted. I could have made my bases as ovals, same length but not as wide but cutting them to shape was a lot of work. Even if i found a way of making ovals it would mean even more work having to re-base several hundred cavalry.
:) good painting shades!
