8 Bods, 8 shields (4 lenticular, 4 flat round) 4 swords, 3 spears and 2 axes.
Thier mounts are 2 sets (each set has 4 Nags) of C1066 H2, Destrier / Heavy Horse.
The 8 Nags from both sets have 5 different poses, a similar set up to the nags provided for the Mounted Vikings, so rather than repeat what I wrote there about the possible pose selection, my review can be read HERE.
I was going to give the bods Lenticular Shields left over from other TD Anglo Saxon sets. My fisrt thought was that using the Kite shields, wether historically correct or not, would, IMHO, make them look way to similar to Norman Cavalry. But then, I thought, they are Late Anglo-Saxons, and Huscarls and also, they could be used as Norman cavalry...so they ended up with Kite shields
Also, they got the same regimented look as the foot Huscarls.
I´ve also swopped the lances for home made ones.
The diferent Nag Poses that come with both sets are numbered.
Number 1 in pic two should be 5
Wether the Vikings used Cavalry in combat is..?..not so provable but Anglo-Saxon Cavalry? Yep, they did have them. See HERE
They are nice figures - I am getting more tempted by Tumbling Dice with every post you make - I wonder why he doesn't post pictures of his figures on the web-site I'm sure he'd sell more if he did.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob. I´ve made him the offer of using my pics and for free. He can download them or whatever but no response.
DeleteGreat looking bods Paul.
ReplyDeleteThese look stunning Paul, great poses, lots of movement.
ReplyDeleteLovely Paul. I can see why you highlighted the horses, they are particularly interesting and 'animated' aren't they?
