Hastings: Norman Commanders

Mostly by Crusader Miniatures:

A group of four to represent William the Lucky Bastard and some pals.

I can't decide which of them is the Duke, but then you can't really tell until he takes off his helmet.

His brother Odo (he's the one on the right as you look at it).  I don't know which manufacturer made this one; I bought him from Simon along with a load of foot and cavalry a long time ago.

I've touched up Simon's old paint job, especially the nicely hand painted shield.  Me, I stick with Little Big Men shield and banner transfers...

The third group will command the foot in the centre of the Norman army.

I made this another mounted base, because no Norman commander is going to get off his horse if he can help it.

Last, but not least, we have the Bretons.

The banners are large, so I ran some paint along the edges to try to weather them a bit and disguise my ham-fisted attempt to fit them properly.  I then sealed them with Dullcote to protect them.  It remains to be seen how they fight!
