Museum Miniatures 'ZSculpt' Normans and Anglo-Saxons


 I have a collection of 15mm Dark Age figures, mostly bought painted off ebay, which we used for a '1066' campaign based on an S&T magazine almost 20 years ago.

Since then these figures have seen little to no use, but the recent release of Midgard Heroic Battles has prompted me to try to put them on the table again. The figures are based on DBX convention, and while I could have used some of the bases as Heroes, I decided to paint up some dedicated bases for easier play.

After some browsing I decided on Museum Miniatures' ZSculpt figures, because I had a good experience with Cromarty's 3D sculpted resin figures. Museum Miniatures do not ship to where I live, but my old friend Steve in UK graciously agreed to make the order for me and ship them over. When the figures arrived, however, I found that they were metal castings, and that a few of them were bad casts.

With the few packs I purchased I was able to make a level 3 Hero base for each of the three contenders of 1066: William, Harold, and Harald, each with their iconic flag; four more generic level 2 Hero bases, and four generic Champion bases, which would give each side two of each, enough for a standard game.
