The Impressions. August 2016


The first photos of the various impressions I am working on for next years Bicolline. The one above is of Thorwald Hrodgerson in his 'Hero' soft kit. Simple short sleeved tunic, trousers and boots with cap, waist belt and sword belt. The tunic is about 90% completed. The trousers will be changed out and I should be wearing low soft boots. Thorwald is a 10th Century Dane.

 This is the impression of a member of the Ordo Cervi as a Medium Infantry swordsman. I wear a mail hauberk and mail hood over padded gambeson. A surcoat in the Order's colors are worn over the mail. A sword belt is worn around the waist. The helmet is a pattern current with the 2nd Crusades.

 I carry a large oval shield with personal livery and the Oder's white stag. The sword is a model consistent with early crusaders or later Viking era.

 A halberdier of the Order. Plate armor makes up most of the defenses with the Order's coat of arms as the Besagews. I still need to finish work on this impression. The faulds and tassets and legs need to be completed as well as the pauldrons need a bit of work. This is a Heavy Infantryman of the Oder and would normally be armed with a 9 foot pike.




Just a quick video of the Heavy Infantry advancing. Once the legs are completed the heavy Infantry packs a dangerous punch.
