There is a previous post on the blog of these figures before flocking. It's amazing how much the flocking changes the final appearance of the figures. As I said in the other post, I hate taking pics of the figures before they are based and finished; They just don't seem right.
The first army is a Norman army. Composed of a core of knights it has some foot to round it out. Here is an overview of the Norman spearmen and archers:

The Norman spearmen. We went with somewhat more darker, murkier colors as these are the regular infantry:

The second army is the Anglo-Danish army. Lots of foot make up this force. Here's a view of the whole Anglo-Danish army:

An overview of the lesser, or poor quality, fyrd:
The lesser fyrd arranged in a line as a shield wall:
The block of lesser fyrd. These are the lower class warriors so we again made the colors a bit darker and murkier, with plain one-color shields. There are 128 figures in this block:
The Anglo-Danish command stands:
The greater fyrd. These would be greater land owners and lesser nobles so we went with brighter colors and fancier shields:
The huscarls:
The slingers and javeliners:

The Norman army has 105 foot and 42 cav. The Anglo-Danish army has 268 foot and 3 cav.
ReplyDeleteNot sure on how long they took. I've been working on them and 3 other projects (plus prepping a bunch more for delivery at Cold Wars) for the past month or two. I have more time in them than I wanted to, and am making less money as a result, but I think the extra effort was worth it.
Chello!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! And, yes, flocking makes them look waaaaaay better!
