Another unit of medieval Maine Infantry to defend against the Norman and Breton invasions in the 11th century. William the Conqueror and Conan of Brittany bring the two main opponents in the period.

Figures are from the plastic gripping beast dark Age set with some Victrix heads, and additional metal or plastic hand painted shields.


Cheers
Matt

Still not big enough!!!! Four more units for the early period, and six more for the later, plus more skirmishers.

Cheers

Great stuff...how many are you planning to paint up for your forces.

It took me the best part of a year to turn out m Dark Age armies (no where near as nicely painted as yours though)

I am building around 15 -20 bases per army I total. 4-6 Skirmishers 3-4 cavalry and 10 bases of infantry. My Bretons though are being built for two periods, And the early Franks and late Franks too, plus Goths.

A generic dark age command off the desk, received these figures painted as a Christmas gift in the LAF Christmas care package

I am awaiting some tufts to arrive from Germany to complete some more bases of heavy infantry. 7 bases to go and the Breton army is complete, then onto the rest of the Franks and some more Vikings.



Cheers
Matt
