Footsore’s Normans Get Ready For An Invasion
April 6, 2018 by brennon
Footsore Miniatures have created a bunch of awesome looking Normans, just ready to form an invasion force and take England for themselves. Leading the way we have this preview of one of their characters, Bishop Odo of Bayeaux.
This fellow is ready to start clubbing some Anglo-Saxons from atop his steed. The miniature looking awesome and a great alternative leader for your force.
He is featured on the well-known tapestry wielding his club as you see here. While it speaks to him not actually fighting, that might just be linked to the idea that he did not shed blood. However, with a club in hand, he could very well have still beat his foes.
Norman Commanders
Talking of other leaders, there is a new Warlord model from Footsore for you to snap up. Here we have this Mounted Warlord and his Bannerman.
The model looks great, calling others into a charge against the enemy. As much as it hurts me to say it, the Normans do have a very neat aesthetic to them on the battlefield and the idea of a mounted force does appeal.
Archers
Additionally, you can also look towards some Archers for your army as well. As well as the standard archers you can also snap up this Command element for the force too.
This works well for a skirmishing force and of course for a more regimented mass battle game too. I always like characters blowing horns for some reason!
What do you think of the new Norman collection?

I think that was some really well painted horses….
I can’t wait to get them, I’m hanging on for the full range before I order them though
nice.
I wonder how they look with Gripping Beast Normans. Wish these had been available when I picked up that Saga starter box.
Great stuff! My copy of the new Saga rule-book and the Viking supplement arrived today so it’s just the right time
