Aye, a very simple one. You just mix and match the two running body halves and then reposition the back foot on the base. I used a wee touch of GS to help seat the load bearing foot. One of the Percy ones was some similarly but not quite so dramatically.

With a change in GCSE History specification comes a slight change in focus. After a long while messing about with fantasy and SF stuff, it's time to get back on the historical horse.

Literally.



These are conquest Normans. The idea is that we will build up enough Vikings, Saxons and Normans to be able to game some of the skirmishes around the three battles of 1066 with the students.



I can thoroughly recommend the conquest Normans; easy to work with, great value and fun to paint.

Goodness! You've certainly not shied away from the horrors of war on that casualty figure!
No battle plan ever survives first contact with the dice.

I just finished a Lion Rampant Anglo-Norman retinue. They do seem to be popping up these days. :D

:) in my defence, guts are easy to sculpt so it's laziness as much as anything.

They might be easy to sculpt, but to get the colour right for blood, intestine and exposed muscle is amazing.  But gruesome - you sick b#$^@*d.
