New toys arrived, have based the infantry and made a start painting them, picked up some glue tonight so I can stick the rest of the knights to wooden sticks for painting which will allow me to paint up the second commander.
Should in the near future have 8 stands of heavy spearmen, actual Normans this time not the Frankish ones I've been using up until now and these look better and shortly after four stands of dismounted knights. Thus 8x 4Sp and 4x 4Bd, provides four units of spears for Lart, which IIRC is the required minimum and some blades to swap out in DBA for IIRC three of the mounted knight stands.
Aim is to get these all done then next month get a similar order with another eight stands of knights, a third commander and 8 stands of bowmen.
Unit sizes being driven by the pack sizes Essex supply stuff in (four cavalry, thus three packs make four stands, eight infantry thus two stands of four, or with three per base three packs making eight)
