Norman Crossbowmen Pick Off Saxons From Footsore
November 22, 2017 by brennon
Bringing their newfangled weapons to bear against the Anglo-Saxons, we have some of the Norman Crossbowmen from Footsore Miniatures that will be ready for sale in 2018.
You'll have seen this first set when they were WiP models but now they've been finished off and gone through the metal casting process. They are looking, as you might imagine from Footsore, pretty awesome and full of character considering they're just footsloggers.
You can see another crop of the models which will bring you up to a nice round eight wearing more of the padded armour that you might have been lucky to get your hands on during the period.
The crossbow was quite a deadly weapon, offering up a significantly weightier hit when it collided with the enemy. It was certainly going to make someone hurt if they were hit by it, and it would probably do a number on your shield too if hit in the right place.
Will you be joining the Normans in their invasion during 2018?

Crossbowmen as I like to see them. Not on the table, well on the table edge as casualties is fine
That will be those new fangled weapons the Chinese and Europeans were using around the 5th Century BC? 😉
and if you count it a progression from the roman manuballista, even earlier than that ^^
Thank you!
Great post! therapys from https://us.calmerry.com/ are very important as they affect a student’s overall performance from semester to semester. If you want to be a top performer, you have to make sure you get good grades. If she neglects her therapys, her grades will drop and she will eventually get a bad GPA. If you are a busy student, please devote yourself to research all night long without accumulating stress.
