DBA Norman Army III/52

[MABO]

Here you see my new DBA Norman Army III/52. I used Strelets figures I have painted some years ago.

General and Milites (3Kn) and 2 Breton Cavalry (Cv)





3 Milites (4Bd)



Speermen



3Ax



Bows and Crossbows



Light-Horse and Psiloi



Hordes (7Hd)



And here you see the whole army.



Now I have to look for a n opponent...
Maybe I can start painting a Anglo-Saxon Army after my Prussian project.

Dear Mabo, I did the same DBA Norman army years ago ...
Unfortunately, it didn't look as good as yours.
Just a comment if I may ... The horde is usually made with lower-ranking warriors, in Norman times probably barefoot and armed with just sticks and knives.
I used some of the Robin's Airfix figures to make mine.
All the best!

Hello Joan,

that is correct! I must admit, that I had only these figures left for the moment. I will create another one when painting the Anglo-Saxons. And the horde is only one option out of 7, so not really important. But thanks for your advice and the kind words.

Wonderful army Jan. I really like how you painted shields.

[Kaiphranos]

Nice work - you really brought those Strelets figures to life!

[Peter]

Colorfull painted army! Looking great Jan!

[Minuteman]

A very good looking Norman army!

[Graeme]

Fabulous looking Normans. Great painting on the mail, faces and horses; and the splashes of colour really give them a lift.

I love the shields, especially the dragons.

[MABO]

Thanks you for the friendly responses!

[Chariobaude]

Great army Mabo. Ah, if we lived nearby, we could organize a meeting with my future armies from the same period... Even if these Normans are more effectively those who followed William the Conqueror, less those who ventured into Italy!

[Ben Bob]

Nice work!

That would be great and could help me to improve my French!

Hi Jan
Looks like a winning army. Your conversions with the lances and fanions are perfect. Like them a lot
Proposal: If you come to Normandy again I promise ti build an opposing Viking or Anglo-Saxon army. Then you can teach me DBA rules
And I win

[santifernandez]

Jan,great paint in your army.

[MABO]

And I win

Sure?

[Licaón]

What a gorgeous army, Mabo! It looks impressive, the opposing army will need high morale to fight back indeed

Congratulations!

[MABO]

Thanks again for the nice words, my friends!

[PhilC]

Oh what a nice army for DBA! Skillfully painted figures, nice bases, a very interesting collection. Congratulations!

[Mr. Andrea]

Superb! Eye candy! And I am lucky enough to see it in real life soon (I hope).
And that pushes me to prepare the deserved foes: either Andalusian Arabs or Sicilian Arabs. They'll have to wait a bit before getting on my desk, but they are officially in my to-do list.

I am looking forward!
