The Archers


My first batch of archers.  My current plan is for a single unit of levy, so 12 figures.  Despite my initial concerns, I was really pleased with them.  They fit right in size-wise with the Crusaders figures. 

I will acknowledge that the figures look more medieval than dark age.  One reason for going with these is that they look a little cleaner than other ranges' archers.  I wanted my figures to stand out with peasant simplicity.  I also wanted them to fit better with the look of figures on the Bayeaux tapestry and not just a bunch of Viking raiders.

Besides, I'm fine with them looking more AD 1200 than AD 800.
As a side note, I had to do this batch of six because I have no more.  I ordered one pack thinking I was ordering two, or that packs had 12, or some such.  I'm honestly not sure what I was thinking.
