These guys are part of a long term project: I eventually will do some large scale early medieval skirmishing. Normans vs. Anglo-Saxons, or maybe Normans vs. Normans, or Normans vs. Vikings.
The shields aren’t perfect, but were fun to do.
The Perry Brothers has a range of Crusaders from the 1st Crusade, but they can serve perfectly as Dark Age Normans, I think. The models are great-a pleasure to paint. These are the only Perry minis that I’ve painted, but I can say that their vaunted reputation in the historical wargaming community is well deserved.
I’m not sure why, but I really enjoy painting horses. Not that I’m good at it.
I’ll be getting more of these guys, though I balk at the cost!
