A closer view |
At sometime in the past I just have been thinking about Normans and Saxons as I had this Osprey title in my library.
I started building these paper armies as part of a challenge proposed on the blog wrong hammer.blogspot.com - where "The idea being you buy and paint an army with a view to gaming with it for £30 (or the local currency equivalent) or less in a set number of weeks."
The cost to date is $57 the Australian Dollar equivalent:
$24 for Peter Dennis Paper Armies 1066
$16.50 for the Saxon army (photocopying and cardboard)
$16.50 for the Norman army
Are you going to write your own D3 type rules?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure yet as I have the Dux Bellorum rules by Daniel Mersey.
Delete"Almost" instant armies!
ReplyDeleteIt does seem quite quick. I think I am averaging 3-4 units per week.
DeleteThey look lovely mate - well worth the time cutting them out. With these and the advent of 3D printing we now how so many options available to us a gamers it's hard to know what format to choose.
ReplyDeleteCertainly worth the time cutting them out. After a couple of months cutting out these paper soldiers I am looking forward to getting back and painting some 3D figures, just for a change.
DeleteDux Bellorum does seem a good way to go. I think the paper armies for 1066 works particularly Well.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I will certainly be giving them a go.
DeleteOnce again, surprisingly effective. Of course my very first army was pre-painted flats...
ReplyDeleteThank you.
