Drabant Miniatures Draft In More Normans For The Invasion
November 18, 2014 by brennon
Drabant Miniatures are adding to their Dark Age range of 28mm miniatures with some more Normans. See what you think of these Crossbowmen that will be pinning you down with deadly bolts...
The crossbow was a deadly weapon that was able to punch through armour and give the shooter plenty of range and power. This was offset with it taking longer to reload but if used in conjunction with an advancing infantry of cavalry force your archers had little to worry about.
The power of the crossbow was able to punch its way through shields as well as armour and flesh so all those Anglo-Saxons crouching behind that bristling thicket of spears and shields should beware.
Miniature wise these are really nicely detailed and I love that each of them is entirely different in look. Mix these in with some other metal and plastic Normans and you'll have quite the force.
What do you think?
They are excellent figures as is th rest of the Drabant line. Should add that they are all available through Old Glory UK

There should be a discount, as you’re only getting 2/3 of a pair of legs with each miniature. They look more like dwarfs.
The heads are a bit large as well – its like different parts of the mini were sculpted to slightly different scales. They actually look more like Hobbits to me.
Very nice looking figs-wonder how they’ll mix with Conquest Normans?
Hmmm could be added to my list of potentials for a Kingdom of Men Army for KoW
