Very promising!  :-* :-*

I don't own any Victrix stuff......yet. How big are their figures, will they fit in ok size wise with Footsore stuff for example, anybody know?

I am looking right now to one Victrix Macedonian side by side with a Footosore Viking and they are roughly the same size. If their Vikings are the same size as their Macedonians -and nothing suggest otherwise- they will fit perfectly with Footsore's.

All other Victrix mini's are plain and have an extensive LBM decal / transfer range. So I think the shield design is only for making the render even more beautiful!

Victrix has posted on facebook that LBM has comitted to producing shield transfers for their Dark Ages range :)

Good news about the size of the figures, thanks for the info guys.

Also very good news about the transfers.

That render looks nice, much better than a lot of their ancients, and I can see myself getting some of the Vikings or Saxons depending on the unarmored bodies available in the set.

Personally, I actually kind of like the integrated arm with a separate hand holding a weapon - allows for more natural-looking dynamic poses and easy weapon conversions.

Another big selling point will be the number and diversity of the heads in the set. Honestly that was one of the strongest aspects of the Gripping Beast sets, and I'm always on the lookout for more options.

Taken from their Facebook page: Stephen Hales It will be 8 bodies on the main frame and 6 bodies on the command/personality frame and a lot of head varients. We have over 20 heads in the Gallic set so it will be along the same lines as that.

Great stuff. Sounds like an excellent set already. Great to see Victrix raising their game and competing with the best to offer so much built-in variety and potential  :)

Luckily for me Vikings are first; it would have been Normans and my finances would have been pressed to keep up!

From fakenewsbook:

Ahha, we finally have the second render of an unarmoured Viking for our forthcoming Dark Age range.

Before we get a deluge of messages/posts asking why are we not doing armoured Vikings, well we are going to do armoured Vikings. The set will contain both unarmoured and armoured figures plus a yet to be decided command element.

Speaking with the designer in chief yesterday we touched on potentially using this set as a basis for creating a Rus set by changing elements such as shields and helmets. More on this in the future.

This is Bondi figure 2. He is un-armoured and has a choice of weapons and alternative shield arms and heads. He has a great dynamic pose but will also rank up well.

I dropped out the hand sketches for future figures from the original post as pointless until renders are done.

Amazing!

The posibility of plastic Rus sent my credit card on fire!

Gorgeous. And indeed, those unarmoured bodies scream Baltic Vikings/Pagans to me. Nice addition to the Gripping Beast Pagan Rus set...  :)
