Any tips for painting said (and controversial) chainmail?

I really dont think the mail will be that much of an issue once you have the mini's in front of you.  I will surely pick up some of these. So looking forward to a kit that doesnt require a ton of modifying to look nice.

Here are painted versions of the new Viking miniatures recently posted on the Victrix Facebook page.

These look great and very much like the guy who paints the footsore miniatures too. Looking forward to getting mine!

I dont think this chainmail is any different then other chainmail to paint.

Either prime it black and drybrush with the metal colour of your choice or prime white then paint with a dark metal colour of your choice, apply a black wash and drybrush with a lighter metal colour.

They look lovely and I can live with the chainmail but has anyone actually received their packs yet?   I purchased one on their webstore around a month ago now when they first appeared on retail but have not received it yet.  No one seems to be selling them in the usual internet stores or on ebay.

Cheers

I heard from North Star that there has been production issues.

Just saw on Facebook that all orders are meant to be sent by the end of this week.

On their Facebook page they said some the sword hilts had to be reworked as they weren't moulding properly, so they had to sort that out first... While the Vikings look good, I'm more interested in the forthcoming Saxon release to be honest.

The spear looks very nice and slender.... realistic.

I've now had a notification that the set is on its way so fingers crossed it will be here by the weekend.

I hope somebody in the US decides to carry these.

Me too! But Caliver has been great about carrying Victrix in the past and has very reasonable international shipping rates, I'd be surprised if they don't carry these as well.

Still waiting for mine, think they must be rowing across the North Sea!
