1066 & All That - Part 1

I now have enough Anglo Saxons for the Battles of 1066 games planned for October this year (it being the 950th anniversary and, what-have-you). I'm also painting a bunch of Normans too and I've almost finished the actual Norman contingent which leaves the Breton and Frisian/Flemish mercenary contingents to do. At this stage I'm not sure if I'll be doing those but I might.

I'm not sure about the figure I have for Harold. I don't think he fits the part. I think the other commander figure (white shield with red cross) looks more Haroldish. Besides that, I did model the standard bearer with Harold's banner. But I'll see what happens between then and now.

Both the left and right wings have:
2 units of Heavy Infantry (thegns),
2 units of Fyrd, and
A small unit of skirmishers.

Harold's central command has:
1 large unit of Huscarls with Dane Axes,
1 unit of hearth warriors,
2 units of Danish Mercenaries, and
A small unit of skirmishers.

When if comes to playing the games I'm sure that changes will be made but so far, so good.
