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

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 greater fyrd. These would be greater land owners and lesser nobles so we went with brighter colors and fancier shields:
