Title: Miniatures for 10th century Germany
Post by: ReneTS on 30 December 2014, 02:48:25 PM

I am looking for miniatures to present the German medieval armies in the 10th century. More specifically the wars against the Magyars. But is there any 28mm miniatures that will suit this period? I guess Carolingian miniatures will be too early and Normans too late? But what about saxons like huscarls and fyrds? Could they be used perhaps?

Crusader Miniatures Saxon Thegns might fit the bill:

I will use for a similiar project the following ranges of Gripping Beast.

Here the bareheaded and the figures with helmet.
Also the new range of Footsore miniatures can be used:
