Some new 28mm Vikings finished


Amazing what a shelf with space will do!

I painted up my first few units of vikings some time ago.  But then I stalled on them, on black powder came back to the forefront.

But now, with a shelf with plenty of room, and an amazing viking ship given to me by my buddy (more on that in its own post later) I got the urge to finish up some more units of vikings!


So here is the latest... a unit of eight warriors.  Pretty heavily armed and armored, and, like with my other unit, with a single bow-armed scout.


Here is the back rank.

I AM going to make a change, though.  Originally I was going to have a single bow-armed warrior in each war band, as a scout of sorts, but I think I am going to do a full unit of them... well, a unit of four.  That way the force has some sort of mirrored structure... two units of eight regular infantry, and two "specialist" units with four... one berserker, and one archer.

I am also going to paint up two objective markers... I'll share those soon.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys! Yeah, the chieftain is a fantastic figure from Foundry... one I ALWAYS wanted to paint. The boat is pretty excellent, and was a gift from a buddy... it has a few details that you cannot see from the photo involving rare earth magnets, but I'll give it its own post soon.

Thanks!
