Hi,
Have any of you war-gamed the Swedish Vendel Period (550-790) ?
If so what 15mm figures did you use? Is there a DBA 3 army that fits its composition, if so which one?
I've found pictures of Vendel period warriors, in their ornate helmets, but nothing on their army compositions. What little info there is suggests that a 'warlord/king' and his nobles would be mounted but no suggestion how or even if they fought on horseback. The average warrior would be typical of many European farmer-warrior of this period so figures for these pose no problem.
Any help appreciated.
Andy

I have not modeled the Vendel period exactly, but I have modeled the Anglo-Saxon wars in Britain during the same time frame. I used the miniatures from Splintered Light. They are very detailed and have some of the ornate helmets that you mention.
As for your question about an appropriate army, I would guess a Wb based army of the same time frame. A Saxon or similar.
