From Codsticker: 8 Flemish Mercenaries (40 pts)

 Continuing with my Norman warband for Saga, I put together 8 28mm plastic Norman infantry from Conquest Games to use as Flemish Mercenaries.

Of the 8, 4 of them use the heads, bodies and arms from the Conquest Norman Infantry box set.

Two of the other four use the bodies in mail from the Conquest Games' Dark Ages Archers kit.

The one on the left uses a head from the same Archers kit while the one on the right has a head from the Infantry box.

The last two use the bodies in padded hauberks from the Infantry box and heads from the Archers box. 

I like the moustached heads from the Archers kit; beside being nicely sculpted and easy to paint, they help distinguish these mercenaries from their Norman employers.

I hand painted the shields in this group- I probably won't do that again. Most of them turned out OK but too time consuming constantly fixing lines.

I covered the mdf bases with Elmer's wood filler followed by some 2mm Woodland Scenics static grass, then  Peco 4mm and 6mm static grass and finally a few pieces of Scenic Express SuperTurf for low shrubs.

Very nice - I do like those Conquest Normans!
