Thanks for the kind comments guys.
Phil, both Norman figures are from Gripping Beast. Tancred is the bog standard Norman SAGA warlord, and Ludolf is from the first crusade range.

Absolutely spiffing! Some great minis, with some absolutely fabulous paintjobs.

What is the source for the helm with facemask?

Here are some late 12th century images of soldiers with helms with simple facemasks attached:
Murder of Becket, Spoleto, Italy, late 12th-century
Murder of Thomas Becket, BL Harley 5102, England, last quarter of the 12th century
Rolandslied, Song of Roland, Regensburg, Germany, late 12th-century
Carved Column Capitals in the Cloister of Monreale Cathedral near Palermo in Sicily, 1174 to 1182 AD
and possibly



Are there others?
