Hi,

I don't remember ever posting up pics of my Normans and after having done a search in the Medieval Section I can see that I have not.

Since these pics were taken the army has been decked out with LBM banners, other than that, all the banners and shield designs on the miniatures in the pics were painted hands free.

These little fella's will form the backbone of the Norman army that will feature in The Battle of Hastings Demo Game that i will be putting on for the Lance and Longbow Society at Salute next year. There is also a chance that Stamford Bridge or more likely Fulford Gate (My preference) might be possible at the York Show, Vapnartak.

Lots of painting to do and much scenery production to get stuck into.

Darrell.

Thanks, since these pics were taken about en years ago the army has gone through a transformation- I'll try to find time to post up pics of the new look if at all possible (it's p*%ssing down outside and the light is not so good today).

Those are brilliant Darrell

You really need to bring the army along to one of the War and Conquest events at Foundry and crush my Saxons with them!

Go on, you know you want to!!

I could be tempted

Where do the weekenders usually take place? I'd prefer to take part in a campaign weekender of some sort- less competitive and more fun with the ups and downs etc.

Excellent army of yours, Darrell. I look forward to see their current incarnation!
I wish I had my cavalry finished yet...

Thanks Michi, you're don't look too shabby either

I think my painting style has changed quite a lot since they were painted, it must be over ten years ago now! today I would be applying many more layers than back in the day

We're at Foundry in November and hopefully for the long term.

Even though the event is titled as a 'Tournament' it really is just 2 days of fun gaming - not competition at all. It's a great weekend of friendly gaming and socialising, plus, being held at Foundry, there's lots of toys to look at!

I'll mark it down in my diary Dave- I'll make a serious effort to get there. I'll contact Foundry about what hotels etc they would recommend.

Oh, BTW, is it period specific? If so I might be up the creek without the proverbial paddle if I don't have an army. I'm doing Hastings at Salute next year so most of my time starting in about a months time will be dedicated to that.
