"Step by step for painting Normans" Topic

I have 48 Gripping Beast Normans under way. Seeing as how SAGA is catching on locally, I posted my method for Dark Age painting on my blog here. Here are the quick results and thanks for looking!

Very nice work!!! Hello from just across the river in Wisconsin!

Perris, thanks! Are you by chance across the river in Hudson, WI?

Those are really nice. Thanks for sharing the pics!

A little further east in Eau Claire. Always enjoy seeing your work!

Did the Normans carry shield devices or a coat of armours on their shields?

Devices. "Coats" of arms did not exist for another hundred-plus years. Devices became more "heraldic" looking, then sometime in the late 13th century they began to turn into family coats of arms, etc.

Those are fun paint schemes. I do a similar thing, using a dominant color for every unit of eight or more minis….

Very nice.

Nice work, in Bemidji here. Gonna see those Normans at tha con of the north?

Really nice work.

Thanks much fellows.

James, there is a Day of SAGA at ReCon in October. For Con of the North, I should look and see if anyone has booked SAGA as an event. Go Vikes and good idea!

Very nice brush work and color coordinated to boot!

I got stuck finishing my 48 Norman spearmen when I ran out of LBMS shield transfers. I painted last batch in a Spanish Reconquista style so I can port them into a Spanish warband for Crescent & The Cross. Glad to be done and onto something new!
