15mm Norman and West Frank  -  Posted: July 8, 2009  -  Manufacturer: Khurasan Miniatures
The dragon on the centre shield turned out extremely well. I like the crosses as well; these Normans are one of my only Christian armies! This element is meant to play both the Knight and the Cavalry role in DBA. The Normans allied with the Bretons at Hastings; while the Normans fought as knights, the Bretons fought as more of a loose order cavalry that could charge or fire missile weapons. Unfortunately for DBA, the Normans and the Bretons looked practically identical for wargear. So, to show that this element could be a Cavalry element, I made sure all the figs had arms up, skirmishing and not charging and I also put a light gray stone on the front of the base for my opponent's reference.
