Some pics of my growing Norman warband for SAGA. It was a quite quick paintjob (at least for me) with about 20 hours for the 16 spearmen, the 2 casualties and the bases. I hope you like it anyway :D

Normans + shields are by Crusader Miniatures, Casualties by Warlordgames (Celtic Casualties), roundshields, spears and other equipment by Wargames Factory.

A grand start there, I particulary like the idea of using casualty figures to break up the movement base.
-
Those are very nice. Particularly like the casualties :)
-
Nice little collection there 8)
What plans have you got for expanding the force?
cheers

Lovely!
:-*
Looks perfect for a good representation of a confused melee.
I particularly like the way that the bases are aligned so that the figures are not in regular 'ranks'.
Where did you get them?
-
You are off to a great start.
Love the basing.
Can't wait to see some mounted.
-
Very nice painting and basing. :-*
-
Lovely painting :-* :-* :-*

Thank you all for the encouraging words :-*

They are selfmade :D.
Quite simple although:
I just used the GW WHFB movement trays and a step drill. First I trimmed the trays the size I needed (2 per 1 base). Then I marked the positions of the miniature bases and used the drill to create the holes 26mm wide. At least I glued the two pieces together.
Hope this helps. If needed I'll take some pics while doing the next.
-
Fantastic stuff :-* :-* :-*
-
Nice! Excellent figures and great work on the bases.
Just one question, how did you paint the wood? I'm searching for a new technique and paint to use and i like the look of your's.
Thanks in advance
-
Beautiful painting! Those Crusader minis are a painter's dream, simple details, not too much "stuff", quick to paint and :-* :-*.
-
Excellent :-*
-
Lovely clean work - I agree with all the comments about Crusader, although your painting seems to show the quality far better than mine lol
I like the self-made movement trays - they aren't difficult to do, and making them yourself means you get more spare money to spend on other stuff!
-
Thanks ladys 'n gents :)
Just one question, how did you paint the wood? I'm searching for a new technique and paint to use and i like the look of your's. It's quite simple. I just painted the wood in "Spearshaft Light 13C" by Foundry and gave it a single wash with devlan mud, followed up by a layer of ogryn flesh. After evrything was dry I finally gave a wash with the heavily thinned basecolour.

Only until the announced price rise by gw >:(
Back to work:

Realy, realy good paint work.
Love the battle worne shields ! But with all that blood on the shields...it might have been nice with some on the men and horses to?
