Putting together a Norman Sicilian army in 15mm and I'm trying to find any knights miniatures that have a face-guard type helmet (I've seen it alternatively referred to as a Spoleto helm or a Phrygian helm) that seems to show up around the 1190s. The only thing I've found is that Legio Heroica has a set of knights in their Crusade range (CRU04) with one pose having a face-guard, but I'm ideally looking for a set or individual with only faceguards. Image of what I'm looking for below:

Just a quick point, but IIRC the "Phrygian" helm refers to conical helmets that have thicker brows, causing the point to face slightly forward (I think it became stylistic after that period too), with or without faceguard. Just in case you do a keyword search. Damon. |

Thanks for the heads up – that makes sense now that you say that. Anyway, Legio Heroica was wonderfully accommodating and allowed me to order a set of just the poses with faceguards, so mission accomplished! |

One of the Donnington Normans I have has a face mask, but it isn't shown on the website. I wonder if this is because the face mask is likely from a later period than the range is intended for. |

Legio Heroica has some nice crusaders with a facemask and that type of helmet. CRU # 4. This range can be used with the Arabs to kit out all the Normans in Scilly Also in the Fuedal range, FEU# 04 has a few but that is 1200+ |
