Another Dozen Spanish Spearmen

As hinted at in an earlier post, a second dozen Casting Room Miniatures' Norman spearmen muster off from the painting desk.  Also mentioned in that same post, I love the quality of sculpting, poses and animation in these Normam footmen.  
For the Reconquista project, these Norman spearmen will be fielded as Spanish to oppose the Moors as the Christians attempt to wrest control of the peninsula from the Muslims.

A base that you can stare into for a while, enjoying figure by figure.

You are very kind, Norm.

Great looking troops, Jonathan! Hadn't seen Casting Room before.

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thank you, Dean! The Casting Room Norman’s are especially well done.

Thank you, Phil!

They're a mean looking bunch aren't they? Lovely work Jonathan

Another dozen, so easy... I am happy when I can write "another one" :)

Excellent!

Nicely done. I like the CRM castings, I may need to pick up some as well.

Jonathan Freitag said...

Yes, a menacing bunch, for sure. The warriors have determined looks on their faces, don’t they?

Jonathan Freitag said...

Writhing “another one” is enjoyable, indeed! Thanks, Phil!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Much appreciated, Iain!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks! These particular figures are very nicely sculpted. Great figures!

Looks great Jonathan. The base compliments the figures well.

Great looking figures and good to see Casting Room Miniatures getting some blog space; don't think that they get enough credit.

Cheers, Ross

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thank you very much, Jon!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks, Ross!
Besides my own efforts, I rarely see CRM figures either. The Normans are equivalent to the best sculpts from anyone. Their Renaissance range, which have seen action on my painting desk, are not as good.

Stew said...

Hurray for more Normans! They are my favorite. Looking good. 😀

Jonathan Freitag said...

My favorites too! Thanks, Stew.

Another very fine unit. In agree the sculpting on these is far better than the earlier Renaissance figures (which were OK, but just; much better with your painting!)

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thank you, Peter!

Scott MacPhee said...

They look great, Jon! Are you ready for a game with them yet?

Jonathan Freitag said...

Scott, the troops are ready for gaming. Jake and I got in a game or two a few years ago. High time to get the collections back out onto the table.
