Hear The Rattle Of Chainmail From Saxon’s Norman Heavy Infantry
September 6, 2016 by brennon
Saxon Miniatures have added some more awesome miniatures to their Dark Age collection. This time around they're focusing in on the Normans and their Heavy Infantry.
As you can see they are heavily armoured, all of them wearing chainmail over heavy leather armour. All of them sport metal helmets too. While we're seeing a few swords in there for the leaders of each band of warriors the majority of them are armed with spears.
This set of miniatures can either be picked up as a set of eight, broken down into both A and B, or as a full sixteen models for when you really want to hammer home the spear point.
While I'm certainly more of a Anglo Saxon player when it comes to the Dark Ages I very much like the look of these Normans. The fearsome sight of all that chainmail and a thicket of spears coming towards you would be a daunting prospect.
What do you think of these Norman warriors?

The figs. from SaxonMiniatures are lovely.
DON’T MAKE ME WANT TO DO NORMANS!
Blimey those are nice!
I JUST finished building a full army of Conquest Games plastic Normans… These look good enough I’m tempted to start a whole new warband. It’s rare for me to break down and buy metal minis these days but Saxon is definitely tempting me.
Most if not all will have both sword and spear. Very nice figures will mix in well for elite Late Anglo Saxon/Dane or Bretons.
That’s a really nice and lively set of poses.
A few repititions, but even those are with tiny tweaks that make them feel like humans.
Just ordered their sweet Black Guard set. Cant wait to get my hands on them.
Those are very nice.
good looking troops.
