Glad that you think Dux Bellorum will work well for this period. The Osprey books mention the shieldwall still in widespread use so I think they will be fine.<br /><br />My plan is to 'avoid' the classic Teutonic Orders and go for Danes & Swedes as the Crusaders, with the Eastern Baltic area for the Heathens. I want my units to have some colour rather than the monochrome Teutons!<br /><br />From a quick re-through of the Osprey books, the Pendraken Vikings, Normans, Anglo-Saxon and Early Medieval ranges should give me the figures I need. Still in the early stages of this but nice to have a different period to research:).<br /><br />TTFN,<br />Steve J.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-73757417286291256092014-01-01T23:25:48.692+01:002014-01-01T23:25:48.692+01:00Greate Steve that you get inspired by my blog !

I've browsed through your many posts on this and have decided to give this a go in 10mm using Dux Bellorum as a starting point. As I have some Xmas money to spend and I wanted to do something medieval but a bit different, this seems to fit the bill. When I get round to starting it is another matter entirely!!!Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-25516581231244693702013-02-05T18:04:49.234+01:002013-02-05T18:04:49.234+01:00Nice project.
