Drabant Sort Out Their Troops For A Norman Invasion
April 26, 2014 by brennon
We mentioned a few weeks ago that Drabant were going to be adding some Normans to their range of Dark Age warriors in 28mm scale and now they are up on their webstore and ready to go. See what you think of their Knights and Archers that will be harassing Anglo-Saxons across the fields...
Above are two of their different sets of knights or indeed just mounted soldiers with spears and their characteristic long shields that would have been used to deflect incoming attacks as they rode up in quick probing attacks against Saxons shieldwalls. The way the shield was positioned on the arm and across the horse protecting rider and mount from harm.
Adding to the Saxon misery is a selection of archers who will be raining down sheets of arrows onto their lines from afar. Alas it doesn't seem like they bought out any Crossbowmen yet but these bows look just as deadly. Maybe one of these enterprising soldiers shot Harold in the eye?
Will you be grabbing these?
Really nice little miniatures. Some of their other Dark Age chaps should line up nicely alongside Gripping Beasts own miniatures.
Believe Old Glory is a distributor for them in the UK if you are ordering from there, so probably worth contacting them if you want to save on P&P.
Yes Old Glory UK distribute
Old Glory is the distributor. I just checked, although they only have the Anglo Saxons from the DA range, on their site at the moment.
Your too quick for me @torros
I just knew that they did,I use the OG site quite a bit…Not sure on some of the poses of the Normas , Drabant make better 40mm figures IMHO
I’m more interested in some of their Anglo Saxons and Vikings. I like to add a bit of variety to my shieldwall.
Some of the actual OG stuff isnt that bad, pretty cheap as well
