"Ingvar the Silent" from Wargames Foundry (pic will follow later).
He looks actually pretty much like me  :)

I've plumped for this worthy as The Big King of the Vikings, and his lad as The Little King of the Vikings!

I suppose she was from Reaper, but not 100%. Perhaps somebody else recognizes her:

Tricky, there are a few very nice models to choose from, and if I'm honest I don't know that I'm Jarl material. This guy is very cool though, a Njorn from Redbox Games.

Thanks for that M, I'll go along with that. Can you remember, did you chop the daft wings off her hat, or are they separate parts?

Yes, that's her. I think I cut the wings off with a scalpel.

What he said!

Here is my Jarl Amalric [Victrix] and his beautiful spear carrier Inga [Foundry]

They were part of my viking painting spree I undertook this past spring/summer.

Apologies for the large picture.

My favourite Gripping Beast 'first time around' OOP models from donkeys ago..... so long ago that they were sculpted in Milliput!

Fab model though and with bags of character (IMHO) :)
