Dark Ages Fun: painting some Norman foot thugs

Well, with the cavalry waiting for some support I thought I had better get some infantry/dismounted together. They're finished but I couldn't be arsed taking more photo's until I have the shields and spears in place so we will have to make do with the nearly finished photo's.

I started painting the whole swag, 40 figures, in one go, I pretty quickly realised that was not going to work so then broke them down into three more manageable groups although the confusion had set in by then and to be honest I think they have taken me a lot longer to paint than if I had divided them in small batches straight from the off.

anyway here they are...

Ich

Ni

San

Chi (a few more photo's of the mounted thuggery)

as usual thanks for looking
