Spanish Spearmen for the Reconquista

I
Remember when these Normans were part of the Casting Room Miniatures' stable of figures?  I do.  I picked up a couple of dozen figures during a CRM sale.  When I returned to add more, the figures were gone.  Later, I found that the whole CRM Norman range had been moved under the Wargames Foundry label, proper.  Well, they deserve an upgrade to the Foundry arsenal.  Excellent sculpts!
Adding to the Reconquista project are twelve Normans to battle the Moors on the plains and mountains of Spain.  Time to gather the second dozen into the painting queue.

They look great, Jon! I am worried that some of those spears will go flying once I start handling them.

Thank you, Peter!

I agree!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thank you, Scott! The spears are epoxied on so they ought to be durable enough even with our clumsiness.

Jonathan Freitag said...

Fierce and stabby, for sure! Good to see a comment from you, Michael! Been a long time.

Jonathan Freitag said...

One of my favorites too. The facial expressions on these warriors are first rate.

I do love me some normans! Nicely done. Folks always under value how bad ass Normans were.

Nice work again, Jonathan.

Thank you, Stew! If I am fighting against Normans, I hope they are not so menacing.

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks, Dean!

Another great looking group. It has been quite some time since we fielded these armies.

Jonathan Freitag said...

Far too long...
