Rui,
       Very nice work and interesting castings.  I expect that there is a big story brewing.

Should be interesting.

Nick, Commissarmoody thanks for the comments.
The story isnt much really.
I have a small project of 2 squirmish forces (norman and saxon) that i want to do and i needed to name at least the leaders so i got the name from a comic book called "The great moments of Arnauld de Bichancourt" (about the conquest of England by the normans).

This is only an excuse to paint some minis and hopefully have some games.

About the miniatures, Arnauld is a BTD norman converted (the one with an eagle) and the damsell is a GW brettonian converted too.

Two of Arnaulds retainers.
The shields dont look good so i may retouch them.

I thought I recognised the name - I have a copy of that comic book somewhere in the loft. Great idea for a mini campaign/RPG-type game. Really looking forward to seeing this develop. I may dig out the book and see where you are going with it too.

Little Odo, indeed its a great book.
Lots of ideas.

I just took the name from the book and i´m not following any character in specific but just taking ideas names and scenarios.

I would like to get the other book continuing the history after Hastings.

There is also the old movie The War Lord with Charlton Heston that also gives a lot of ideas.

From time to time i will get back to this small Project so expect some updates.

Here is a saxon noble converted from a BTD king figure.

Mrs. de Bichancourt looks a bit of a dragon... if I'm honest!

Nice, and "the great moments of Arnauld de Bichancourt" looks interesting as a source.

[rumacara]

Thanks for the comments.
Indeed she looks a dragon...

[Malamute]

Nice work, I like the shield on Arnauld. And I think Mrs de Bichancourt is a bit of a looker Nice ocnversion work on the figure.
