El Cid Spanish Heavy Cavalry (HaT)

Again, painted up as Norman cavalry. The PSR review correctly places them later than the classical 1066 Norman period..but as my Norman army is ( like all my medieval /dark ages) a generic one..they fit perfectly :-D

 The whole Generic Norman army...as it stands at the moment 

 The shield wall with archers in  skirmish mode

The Cavalry charges forward !!!!

The shield wall

El Cid Spanish Infantry (HaT)

Meant for the wars around Andalusia but I´ve painted the heavy infantry from the HaT set   up as Normans. :-D The light infantry..maybe not the archers..I will use as Saxons.

Persian foot command (zvezda)

I copied the colour scheme from the box art..
There´s a couple of things  mucked up and if I do them again would change.

Hello to, well..I can´t actually see who is following...blogger seems to have decided to cancel that one for the moment. Anyway..hello to the nice person who is following :-D

Persian cavalry (Zvezda)

One of Zvezdas best set...so nice I decided to get it twice :-D

Hello to Michael from Wargamerabbit. Wargames..wargames...and more wargames..all periods from ancient to modern...and loads of bods..tanks ..nags etc

Sans - Coulottes

I did these after seeing the great idea on Vitor´s Blog Batalhas Napoleonicas. The set used is the Orion English Pirates. Vitor´s made his up as a Militia group and added an Imex bod from the American Pioneers set. Mine are an early french revolutionary gun crew..the so called Sans - Coulottes

Marianne and a couple of citizens

Barrel from Zvezda...the two gabions scratch built like this

The cannon (a 20pdr) is from the Zvezda Russian Artillery of Peter the great

Hello to 1939 Blog ...(no user name!?) Loads of nice bods all scales, all periods

Tomorrow is Herne......Lots of Plastic bods to be bought !!!!!!! :-D

And a BIG thankyou to Andrew from Ferrous lands blog for reviewing my blog....great idea and very kind :-D

Medieval children

For me, this new set from Alex is an absolute must have!!! I´ve already got a lot of medieval civilians, towns folk etc but there are just too few children and this set will go a long way to solve the situation in the town of Styrow on the Foam.

This little bod was created a while back but wasn´t released..

She is tiny but Her doll!!!!!!

Hello to Pascal from Sam´s Minis World . Sam is a fan of the 1/72nd bods and mainly medieval´s. Due to his passion for them he has made leaps and bounds in his painting..with every new post he gets better

Hello to Candice Rigby from wiRo Designs blog...only just started. blogging..thanks for following :-D

Monks, Priests , a Bishop .....

...and a magician. It´s All saints day so they are getting an outing but wether these lot will ever rise to the ranks and get thier wings...??

Friar tuck..or magicians apprentice, the Airfix "holyman"

Valdemars "you must confess"

From a Zvezda "big set"...His Holyness Bunnyfartus. What an ugly §!*°!!

Some of the priests from the Pegasus California Mission Indians set.

A pious looking bunch if ever there was one. The one to the far left had a bell on the top of his (now) walking stick, but it snapped off  :-(

The pegasus set has some great detail like the rosary beads with crucifix..

And now for todays sermon...or is it a recipe for fish???

Norman Cavalry on the March (Strelets)

The last of the Strelets Normans range..except for this set. Not only is the set rare and costs a small fortune (about 3X´s the price of a "not rare" set) but the style and level of sculpting is way below the standard of the rest of the range.

Both sets grouped together

The non-action bods mounted on the calmer looking nags from both sets...this splits the sets into 10 actually marching and 14 charging (in Battle)

Hello to Vladd309..from Just too Much free time blog. Space, fantasy wars and gaming fun :-D
Hello to Martin....blogger??? Thanks for following :-D

Norman Army before battle

Another addition to the Norman army...the Strelets Norman army before battle,  but they could equally be "after batttle"...some of the shields have cut marks on them. A few of the bods from the Normans on the march set fit alongside this lot perfectly. As usual..I´ve stuck to the red/white colour scheme for the shield patterns .

Macedonian cavalry

From HaT and Zvezda,,both sets fit pretty well together. 

The "boy wonder"
