Field of Glory Dark Ages Armies Finished

We just finished up a commission of these two dark ages armies for Field of Glory. The first is a Norman army and the second in an Anglo-Danish army. All figures are Old Glory 15's.

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:

Field of Glory Dark Ages Armies

Here are some shots of two Field of Glory Dark Ages armies were working on for a customer. The first is a Norman army and the Second is an Anglo-Danish army. They will appear much darker in these photos due to the black bases sucking up a lot of the light. The final flocking will lighten them up quite a bit.

We'll flack and finish these up this weekend. Once they are completely done I'll take more pictures and perhaps do a comparison. It should illustrate why I hate taking pics of stuff before they are completely done as they just don't look right.

All figures are Old Glory 15's.

First up are the Normans. These are the spearmen:

Next are the Norman archers:

Here are the Norman command stands.

Dismounted Norman knights:

Next we have the Anglo-Danish army. The first pictures are of the Huscarls:

These are the Anglo-Danish slingers and javeliners:

These are the Anglo-Danish greater fyrd. Since these come from the upper classes we made the clothes a bit brighter and the shields have more patterns and variety:

 The poor-quality fyrd, or lesser fyrd. These are the lower class warriors, so we made the clothes a bit darker and ruddier. Also, the shields are simple with only one color:

 The lesser fyrd arranged in a line as a shield wall:

Finally the Anglo-Danish command stands:
