The first Normans...
I’m starting the project with a few Normans to get used to painting plastic 28mm figures again.
I’m using Victrix models for these at the moment, and sticking with standard builds. As we will be using mainly skirmish rules to start – like Saga and our own – the first forces will be based on 25mm round bases.
The first four Normans are done, and represent well equipped Knights on foot. Several wear late period face visors, the fellow with the red and yellow striped shield wears a helmet based on one from Sicily, so the Normans will start out as Italo-Normans, which will also fit well as I move east towards Byzantium.
The Normans are however generic enough to be used anywhere, without too much historical worries, so will see service against a number of other armies.
Next Four Normans...
The next four Normans are done, and this gives me the first completed unit for Saga…
