I've finished enough of my Essex Normans to field a DBA army; many more await painting. If I got focused, I could use them for HoTT too. More pictures here: link

Very nicely done.

Perfect for HoTT. Taillefer the minstrel as a Paladin, Odo as Cleric. Crossbow as Shooters, Bretons as Riders. Cheers, JohnG

Lovely! You of course need the Anglo-Saxons now… And then that forces you to get the Vikings…which of course necessitates the Scots, who were of course fighting the Welsh…and so on… Joe Collins

Very nice

Nice! Do the Anglo-Danes/Saxons have a chance of winning against the Normans in DBA? I ask because I have some unpainted 1/72 Vikings and Saxons and have thought about getting some Normans.

Thanks; I've already got all the other armies for a refight of 1066. This is the second Norman one. The Anglo-Saxons are more competitive against Viking blades now; I'm not sure if they're that good against knights. I've not played many games of that matchup.

Jeigheff, I've just finished running a six player DBA3 1002AD campaign that included 3 battles between Normans and Saxons. The Normans won only once (4-0) and lost twice (4-0 and 6-0). The Norman tactic of a massed charge by the knights into the Saxon battle line was either very successful or a total failure.

Thanks for the info! I just might buy some Normans. Jeff
