Irregular Frankish Infantry

Not that these are more irregular than other Franks of their period, but the figures are produced by Irregular Miniatures, in their ‘Scots-Irish’ range.

This is one of my favorite units in any of my armies. I love the period, and the sculpts and poses are great. They are dressed and equipped as depicted in ‘Armies & Enemies of Imperial Rome’ and in ‘Armies of the Dark Ages.’ Each figure is subtly different, but similar enough to look like a cohesive unit with no silly poses. They rank up nicely, and fit on bases with no overlap.

They also required little work. I replaced any spears with wire spears, and I may have changed a few hair styles. I added a draco made of putty. Cleanup (if any) was minimal.

The commander is from the Vikings range. He was illustrated on the Irregular site, so I asked for him specifically. Ian was kind enough to oblige.
