Title: Any good models of vikings carrying off women?
Post by: Gracchus Armisurplus on May 23, 2016, 05:45:56 AM

I'd like something for my 'baggage' items for SAGA and think some women thrown across a saddle or over a shoulder would be a pretty neat objective.

Something like this, but in 28mm with a viking raider instead of Flashman:

That's not a bad start.

How about this one from Gripping Beast? Technically Early Saxon but a headswap could do wonders.

Looks promising, it's just a shame I can't buy the figure individually! £10 is a bit much for one figure.

Could be a fun bit of PC to have a shieldmaiden carrying off a pretty Saxon boy too.

Why not an ordinary Viking carrying off a pretty Saxon boy?

Not quite carried, but allows a role for the older woman:

There was a freebie model of a bearded viking carrying of a buxom maiden over the shoulders not too long ago. I seem to recall it was with a dark age supplement of hail caesar or swordpoint or somesuch, but I can't seem to find it anymore... I'll look some more..

Bless you! I was seriously thinking I was going senile, but yes, that is the exact miniature I was talking about!

There is the Foundry Hun looters set that possibly could be used for Vikings in Russia, possibly with some conversion.

I have seen a preview of a shieldmaiden carrying off a Saxon girl (by Bad Squiddo - not released, yet, I think).

Old Glory DA-05 in the Saxon, Viking Norman range http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=DA-05 (http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=DA-05)

Not as racy as Flashman but probably more realistic
