Hi everyone,

I have been using up all my spare time with the Ogrion army, trying my best to get it ready. Today I have finished the first part of my last Normalite Infantry unit – a horde of archers.

I decided to make an archery horde because my army lacks shooting and is more melee focused. Hopefully this with help address that deficiency.

I will placing roughly 30 models onto the base and I will work one line at a time starting from the back and moving forward.

The statues came from old tourist souvenirs. They were the top part of a pen! I kid you not. I repainted them in oil paints.

The knight statues were the top part of a souvenir pen sold to tourists.

The statues were painted up in oils and left to dry for 3 days while I worked on the archers.

Next up were the archers. In the Perry Miniatures 100 year war English army plastic box set there are only 24 archer models. Therefore I needed 6 more. I took these from some plastic Dark Age archers from Gripping Beast. I just made some minor conversions with the heads.

Like all the other Normalite regiments, I wanted this horde to be led by a mounted nobleman. I just decided to give him a bow instead of a lance.

The first line of archers are all minor conversions from 'Gripping Beast' Dark Age Archer set.

Hopefully by next week I will have painted up the second line, and maybe – just maybe – they will be ready for the first battle (but I doubted it. They will be on the field for the second battle).

Until next post, stay safe and have fun.
