PRODUCT UPDATE: NORMAN RENDERS

It may have taken longer than expected but we're delighted with the first Norman command frame figure. The movement and dynamism is wonderful.

He has three head variants including the Italo Norman style with the evil looking face mask and three weapon arm variants. As well as clobbering the Saxons he would not be out of place in most other European nations, Italy, Spain and into the early crusades.

Both the Norman infantry and Norman cavalry will be a great addition to our Dark Ages range.

Follow the link below for the full range.

I love that second helmet!  :-* :-* :-*

Animated pose, but very un-professional handling of a shield :-(.

These are looking really nice, can’t wait to get hold of some.

I do hope Victrix continue to explore the Dark Age setting. I know they have discussed archers and Norman cavalry but I would love to see some Irish, Welsh and such too.

PRODUCT UPDATE: NORMANS

Here are a couple of sketches for the next two Norman command frame figures. They have the option of being standard bearers, horn blowers or ordinary infantry. Just 3 more sketches to do for the Norman command frame.

I am hoping that after cavarly and archers (confirmed), to see 11th century Kievan-Rus or Byzantine sets.

Altough we will have to wait a bit. I think that in a couple of weeks it will be a set of Napoleonic Cav, than Dacians, than Persians, than Norman infantry (summer) and than ... . So I guess Norman cavarly will be late 2020 or early 2021.

PRODUCT UPDATE: NORMAN AND PERSIAN RENDERS

Here is a montage of the first Norman Standard Bearer/Musician. He has a few arm options so he can be blowing a horn, carrying a standard or using a spear or sword. He has 2 head options, one being a bare head displaying the distinctive Norman hair style.

I'm loving the gambesons  8) 8) 8) .....and hope that there are plenty in the box as it is very probable that this was the main form of body armour in most Western European armies of the time.

Here are the renders of Norman command figure 3. He can be used as a standard bearer or an ordinary foot soldier. He has various arm and head options. This figure can easily fit into most European armies up to early Medieval and early Crusades.

3 more command figures to come, 1 in chainmail and 2 in scale armour.
