Here's the start of my Vikingr Warband 12 Thralls, a mixture of Black Tree, Artizan & GB.

Great work; I love your muted colours and basing!

Are those click bases repurposed from a different game, or are you a construction genius?

Cheers,
Err... they are new style hero-clix bases that a fellow LAFer kindly gave me (the old style that i was given did not really work  :-[ )  & i took them apart & made a new insert numbered 1 to 12 & glued a drinking Viking to - so genius.......Yes  lol  Ok maybe not  lol
Title: Re: Start of my Saga Vikingr Warband
Post by: Mister Rab on November 11, 2011, 09:58:38 AM
Well, genius or not, I think they're really effective and a good-looking way of keeping track of stuff on the table without having loads of counters lying about.

Post by: Marine0846 on November 11, 2011, 03:34:20 PM
Excellent start on you warband.
Looks like a good mix of figures from different companies.
Great idea about using the Click bases.

Now that is a cracking idea.  Good figure painting, too.   ;D

Great stuff. Any chance of grabbing the insert from you? I try and steal all good ideas. ;)

I originally drew it in cad, (the numbers are Dalek font) & converted it to a jpg & pasted it in word for ease so I've attached the Word doc, & I just printed it on a sheet of labels  :D

Nice painting. I think the archers are very cohesive as a unit, due to your color choices.  The fatigue markers are also very cool.

Just noticed your saga figures thanks to the "Painted in November" thread.  These look great.  The click idea for fatigue is far superior to few shields lying about.  I just need to find some click bases and drunken Welsh for my forces...

That is a fine looking gang, like your painting style.

The shield colors are a bit too unified for my taste but it's just me.

The figs are Artizan?
Title: Re: Start of my Saga Vikingr Warband (New pics Page2)

No they are Crusader Figs

I'm not sure Alex, I had it given to me but I think its a Gripping Beast one.

Post by: Faber on February 14, 2012, 02:07:42 PM
very nice paintjob!  :o
White and red is very effective on shields. maybe Alex is right, a bit too unified for a viking warband IMO but I think they will be very cohesive on the battlefield.
Love the bases too, flowers are a great addiction!

Late to this thread I know but I just wanted to say how great I thought the work here was looking. I'm particualrly inspired by the archers on page one and the fatigue markers are just great!

I have to say, some lovely figures, very well painted. I like the clix fatigue markers and your use of display bases. Consider a few ideas stolen.  :)

Thats a great looking set of minis. Having the same colours on the shields makes them look like a unit as well, rather than a load of models put together.

They sure are. and what an awesome skin tone. I really struggle with that so might leave out berserkers from my warband :( - any tips? ;)

Ah come on. If he can handle raping and pillaging Vikings he should do alright with a small clip from an old comedy...

They sure are. and what an awesome skin tone. I really struggle with that so might leave out berserkers from my warband :( - any tips? ;)

I think the trick is not to start too dark in the tone and don't go for too extreme highlighting. Old GW Catachans (jungle things) often looked horrible because people applied to sharp definitions to the skin tones.


Oh and by the by I need to sort myself some of those flowery things. Would go nice with my blood lusting Saxons.

How did you paint those piggies?

Post by: aircav on April 01, 2014, 07:38:32 PM
How did you paint those piggies?

They are painted with Valejo Red Leather, Orange Brown & some of the Rust colours from the Panzer Aces range. I have dry/wet brushed them then washed them a couple of times in mixtures of the base colour & Dark fleshtone & a Palmer Burnt Umber.

Hope this helps

Those rust colours from the Panzer Ace set are amazingly versatile  8) 8) 8) (and can be used to produce some stunning reds too!!!)

A word to the wise, if you don't have 'em- get them!!!  :)

Awesome work!, I love the idea of using click bases for fatigue, I might just borrow that idea..nice paint jobs, I believe darker figures look better on the table.  I too am working on my first Saga Viking force, and will be following your thread. nice work.

Nicely painted Keith. Who makes the Sheildmaiden? It's nice to see a model that's female, but not dressed by Victoria's Secret Dark Ages Division.

Bad Squiddo (Annie the Dice Bag Lady) specialises in realistic and believable female figures, she's got a great range on her website and sells a lot of other product besides.
