Hi there, so a little bit more information would be good, do you have a scale in mind, how many figures, preference for metal vs plastic and so on? There are a wide range of historical figures that would be suitable, especially for Haakon’s Norwegians, using Viking figures.

For the Scots infantry, you should probably look to ranges marketed as suitable for Bannockburn or similar – or late dark ages types. There seem to have been heavily armoured men at arms, both mounted and on foot, plus archers, and possibly slingers. If the Scottish army was typical of a general call out then it should also include numbers of spearmen.

If I was doing it in 28mm, I would be using plastics with a mix of Fireforge, Conquest Games, and Gripping Beast dark ages stuff. The Conquest Games Medieval Knights are probably slightly too early for 1263, but unfortunately, in plastic there aren’t too many options.
