Saga - My Normans
Spearmen... slow progress
The metal spears are quite vicious when handling these miniatures. The use of metal spears is probably old hat and normal fayer for most historical gamers but this was my first experience of it.
Once they were all primed and assembled I took the models one or two at a time and just enjoyed them. Painting their clothes and continuing my obsession and new found confidence in free hand painting of shield designs was a joy each time. Not picking one design for all the shields or painting them in production line fashion really did slow the whole process though.
I also used my local rugby club badge as inspiration for one kite shield which amused me and gave me great pleasure.
