17 x Norman Archers and Crossbowmen 28mm

Status: SOLD £99.00

Just finished 17 Norman Archers and crossbow men, 8 of the archers are from Gripping Beast,1 from Wargames Foundry, 1 converted standard bearer and 7 crossbowmen also from Gripping Beast(one of the crossbowmen, only just finished, is only shown in the last photo.)

 They will be listed for sale on the 10/02/13 with a starting bid of £127.00 (about 50% of the commission price for these figures,so a real bargain).
The colour scheme,red and white,banner of the Barons du Bec. These figures represent household or retained men of their feudal lord and clothing is cut from cloth of his colours accordingly. Complementary units are available on ebay.co.uk
They make a really powerful group of skirmishers, each figure is based on 20 x 20 mm individual bases attached to two movement trays with magnetic attachments. Some blank bases are included for casualties and flexibility of formation.

 Here the skirmishers are shown beside a unit of 12 dismounted Knights from the same household, the skirmishers have been split into a unit of 10 Archers and 6 Crossbowmen on separate movement trays. This photo shows the flexibility of this basing system.The 12 Dismounted Knights will soon be joined by 24 Infantry, which could be combined or mixed in with the 12 Dismounted Knights making a substantial unit.

28mm Wargames Foundry Napoleonic Bavarian Cavalry

I painted this unit over 10 years ago now, many of these figures were converted to add variety to the few basic poses,another dozen or so figures were later added, including casualties and dismounted figures.

In total this unit was around 60 strong, they were eventually sold on to a Dutch collector  by the client that commissioned me to paint them.This photo was taken before I updated to digital.

Hengist and Horsa's Warband

Over the past 15 years I have painted thousands of figures for clients, I have started to Archive some of the photos, these are Gripping Beast 28mm early Saxons/Germanic tribes and are painted to represent a 5th century warband

The shield designs are based on real 5th-6th century Germanic designs, found on saucer broaches etc,it adds a feel of authenticity to the shield designs. Muted leather tones, natural wool,and green dyed cloaks and tunics as mentioned in some of the early manuscripts. Some Bows have been found in Denmark with binding on them, i extended this to the spears to help tie the unit together.
The female Seer with the Raven is from Wargames Foundry, the rest of the figures are Gripping Beast.

This second warband were painted in the same fashion,shown here advancing across the Downs
