Byzantines from the time of Harald Hardrada

[Dave Knight]

I am going to run the scenarios from the Viking in the Sun Lion Rampant supplement.

Any suggestions for suitable Byzantine figures in 28mm?

Gripping beasts' saga figures would seem a safe place to start.

The Gripping Beast range is described as beind Thematic which I thought (and I am no expert) was before Hardrada's period.
Tjey may well still work for Lion Rampant purposes

The GB Thematic figures even have a couple of packs called "Harald Hardradda's Varangian Guard"! In general I think they look OK for the 11th century, except that some of the infantry could have kite shields - some of the GB cavalry do, but all the infantry look to have round ones.

Gripping Beast it is then.  Thanks chaps

You might also want to check out the Warlord Games website.  These guys have figures for many of the Viking personalities.
