Satanic Normans

[Dr. The Viking]

I painted some Normans for games of SAGA. Instead of always painting them like Christians I chose to do them as Satanists instead. I don't get why it should always be boring do-good Christians. There might as well have been a few Satanists back then.

Astoundingly brilliant!

[clam]

Stunning work 

- and may I ask what the bases are? Could use some like that for my Byzantine's

[Gibby]

Nice work! Interesting idea!

[Machinegunkelly]

Fantanistic painting  and a nice idea.

[janner]

Coolio, but they don't like the Welsh - but then who does?

[Jonas]

Astoundingly brilliant!

Hahahaha

GREAT IDEA! Somehow Satanic Normans seems SO right...probably too many Robin Hood Flicks as a boy. Teutonic Knights as PaleoNazis seem appropriate also.
The minis no matter what their religious outlook are WONDERFULLY WELL DONE! The brushwork, basing, & all that lovely work on the shields are FANTASTIC.

More nice stuff and almost more proper toy soldiers   The bases stood out for me too, they work a treat

[Sangennaru]

Eh! A brilliant idea! They look splendid and... different than usual!

the minis are from Conquest, right?

[Captain Blood]

Excellent O crazy one.
Love those bases.
You clever Viking

Unusual idea. Interesting.

Although a lot of people have been accused of Satanism, especially when things heated up ideologically prior to the Romanesque period, this makes me wonder when a group of like-minded people first decided, consciously, to be followers of Satan.

I like that they're relatively normal looking. No need for piercings and corpse bits all over the place.

Hahahaha 

You're welcome! 

Coolio, but they don't like the Welsh - but then who does?

No, I must have chosen the wrong patron deity. 

It seems that - after a bit of googling - that the Normans are indeed worthless in SAGA unless you stock up on bow.

Stunning work

Tanks! The bases are simply washers held together with masking tape.

You say that so often.

Yes, they're Conquest. Cheap as chips but not very interesting. Seeing what can be done with plastic leaves me a bit cold on these.

Probably not until the early 1900s..  AC/DC seems to be awfully in touch.

The only thing I would say, is that potentially the chainmail is a bit too shiny...
