I did transfers with this pattern for a friends Phalangites. I could do you an A6 sheet of them in the size and colour you want for £5 inc P&P to the UK or Europe (£6 to the rest of the word. Number of transfers on a sheet would depend on the exact size.
If you’re interested you can see more details about my decals and pictures of them in use at http://dereksweetoys.com/dereks-wee-decals/
Undead hordes are uncommon in European traditions too (although individual undeads or ghosts may often appear).
Tell that to Bruegel 🙂 Not common, but perhaps more common than they are in Japanese tradition.
My band of Minions, and their mortal enemies the Lego Men, all disagree with the original poster in this thread 🙂 But I’d ask any potential opponent if they were happy to play against them and alternatives are available.
And it can be a fun way to get younger children involved in wargaming.
One of the factions in our campaign had these blokes fighting for them – naked religious nutters wearing nothing but skeleton warpaint and carrying AK47s.
The paint job was inspired by my memory of some old film (possibly black and white) in which the valiant heros (or hero singular) were assailed by hordes of natives dressed similarly, but carrying spears rather than AKs. I thought it was a Tarzan, King Solomons Mines or some sort of Lost World film , but having spent ages on Google I can’t establish which film I’m remembering (or mis-remembering). Can anyone here help?
The front wall of the church is made up of several layers. The window is cut into two of them. It’s very well done indeed and a fine example of what can be done with a laser cutter.
Colin Farrant of Charlie Foxtrot is doing some very interesting things with his buildings. He designs them in a way that makes them a bit more 3D and a bit less less boxy than many other manufacturers and he uses laser cut mdf and resin castings in a way that maximises the advantages of the different materials. https://www.charliefoxtrotmodels.com/collections/
I’m a big fan. Here’s some I did earlier.
Finishing off the Spanish Church from the Charlie Foxtrot “Pantiles” range. It’s been sitting on my desk for ages while I’ve been looking for the doors that I put somewhere safe about two months ago. Still haven’t found them so I’ve had to start scratchbuilding.
You’re right in that they could exist in Normandy. But they’re not typical and I see no reason to describe them as “Norman”.
Using your logic I’m going to use this as the basis for an African hut.
Looks good.
But if you want an authentic Normandy look you should paint the shutters a very pale grey (almost white) . If you look at historic black and white pictures they’re almost always very pale, consistent with the pale grey colour that’s still used on the shutters of over 90% of the buildings there today. Those that aren’t pale grey are usually brown or green. Other colours are very rare indeed.
Shops and cafes are much more likely to have coloured shutters than houses.
If you look at this album of Normandy housepictures you can see there that they use a rather limited palate of colours on their houses.

This is typical
