Blood Eagle Miniature
« on: January 16, 2018, 05:35:15 AM »
With all the excitement for the new Saga rules. I've been digging out my Viking and Norman miniatures. I made this piece as an objective marker or scene dresser. It's also been picked up by Footsore miniatures, so will be available from them sometime.

It's a bit gory, that's why it was called the Dark Ages I guess and added to the Vikings notoriety. It also presented a good sculpting challenge, which took bit of figuring out on how to execute properly (excuse the pun).

And that's why its some times better to go down fighting.

Good job, I'm sure it will get some suitably gruesome paint jobs. Top work.

It a good piece of sculpting and will make a striking piece of scenery. I'm guessing that the objective won't be one of rescue...

I don't think anyone should get worked up by it, it is what it is.

Gnarly... maybe you can also sculpt a version where the guy is in better shape and use it as a rescue objective marker?

For your next sculpt you could do the killing of Brodir after the battle of Clontarf.  ;)

I thought that the body of a beloved leader would still be worthy as an objective marker. Maybe even adding a randomiser, so any friendly troops either gain or lose fatigue as they approach the objective. Depending on if they are outraged or repulsed by the execution. May also make a Joms Viking leaders base a bit scary?
