Just added the last missing color picture to the Norman range page!

http://www.baueda.com/hostis_nrm.html

This is Code: NRM4
15mm Norman or Breton Lightly armoured Cavalry (Separate horse and riders)
Unarmoured horsemen as depicted in the Bayeux tapestry and later 11th century manuscripts. Can be used as Breton javelin armed Light Cavalry simply by cutting their spears short. You can also bend their arms a little to simply create more varied poses!

These samples have been painted by Artur

who also kindly provided me with snaps of the painted figures before basing them, so I could put together a composite to show off his fantastic work:

 

All figures sculpted by M. Campagna

NRM7 - Norman Milites charging with lance overarm

Latest addition to our growing range of 15mm Normans is a pack of Milites charging with lance overarm:

 

as opposed to charging with lance underarm as those already released as NRM2:

The new pack include 4 mounted figures as usually, in the 3 poses shown.

These are separately cast horse and raiders (again unlike NRM2 which are cast in one single piece); lances are also supplied separately, so you can easily replace them with thin brass rod if you prefer.

Another difference is that the shield of the figures in the new NRM7 pack is flat, there is no central raised boss, to allow for even more variation when you mix them with other packs...

These are actual production casts, not a WIP, so these are going to be available very soon...

More figures for this and the other ranges are always in development!

Sneaky peek at the upcoming CAROLINGIANS!

I just wanted to share a quick look at the new Carolingian range sculpted by M. Campagna which will soon be added to the catalog... I'm still in the process of finishing masters and molds for all the figures but these are the first packs which are now in production!

First of all, the mounted command:

these figures are now available here:

http://www.baueda.com/hostis_crl.html#CRL1

 

 

The heavy infantry, also suitable as dismounted Scara or Caballari:

these figures are now available here:

http://www.baueda.com/hostis_crl.html#CRL7

Please note the code of this pack has changed, the correct code is CRL7!

 

 

Light spearmen:

these figures are now available here:

http://www.baueda.com/hostis_crl.html#CRL8

Please note the code of this pack has changed, the correct code is CRL8!

 

 

Basque or Gascon light infantry:

these figures are now available here:

http://www.baueda.com/hostis_crl.html#GSC1

 

 

Last but by no mean least, the Big Man himself:

 

this figure is now available here:

 http://www.baueda.com/hostis_crl.html#CRL0

The character pack will include two versions of the Big Carolus, one mounted and one on foot plus Imperial standard bearers, again mounted and or foot. It is mainly intended to add color and variation to command packs for large armies but will be perfect all for small scale skirmish actions...
