Carolingian Franks Unarmoured Infantry PREORDER

These cover the Carolingians Franks from the Viking Age! Perfect for Pillage and Saga.

Will contain 36 figures.

 6 highly detailed unarmoured Carolingian warriors (per sprue), with an assortment of spears, hand weapons and varied heads with helmets, caps or bare heads.

• 11 spears – enough to arm all 6 figures. Many feature the distinctive cross guard below the spearhead, a distinctive Carolingian feature.

• 9 hand weapons – sword arms wielding Carolingian swords with varied hilt and pommel designs, plus hand axes, seaxes and wooden clubs to represent less affluent warriors who could not afford a sword.

• 6 shields – in the distinctive Carolingian style. These are noticeably dished/convex with embossed details including studs, plaques and stitching. Carolingian shields were often brightly coloured in a single colour or with swirling patterns.

• 6 sword scabbards
• 6 knife scabbards
• 4 cloaks – Carolingian soldiers are often shown wearing cloaks in contemporary manuscripts, so we’ve included enough to equip 4 figures with flowing and draped capes.

• 17 heads – 8 bare heads, 2 caps and 7 helmeted heads. See if you can spot the head based on President Macron of France!

We’ve also included examples of the distinctive Carolingian-style helmet that looks similar to the later Renaissance Morion. There is still debate over whether this helmet existed in reality or was simply an artistic interpretation of a Roman helmet in manuscripts. Use them or leave them out depending on your preference, there are plenty of alternative helmet styles included.

Command parts include horn arms and standard bearer arms, allowing you to create musicians and banner bearers.
