NM-22B – Norman Spearman | John Jenkins Designs
The final outcome at Hastings depended upon the collective efforts of archers, infantry and mounted warriors, making ordinary Norman foot soldiers every bit as important to a convincing miniature recreation as the more glamorous knights.
NM-22B – Norman Spearman adds another infantryman to this essential component of William's army.
The spear had been used on European battlefields for centuries and remained practical because of its reach, relative simplicity and effectiveness when soldiers fought together.
Within a diorama, NM-22B can help fill the ground between the archers and cavalry or join other spearmen directly confronting the Anglo-Saxon shield wall.
The more varied infantry poses used together, the easier it becomes to capture the disorder and movement of a long, exhausting medieval battle rather than creating an overly formal formation.
Available from The Military Workshop – a strong John Jenkins Designs Norman infantry figure for continuing the story of the conquest of England in 1066.
Brand: John Jenkins
