Starting an Anglo Danish Saga Warband Update Feb. 28 (Heerschau 2020)

[Pirx]

Hi everyone.
A few weeks ago i decided to participate in Stronghold Terrains yearly Saga Army Building event and start a anglo danish Warband.
So... this is my little topic to share and archive my progress. Critique & Comments welcome.

January task was a Point of Hearthguard

[Thargor]

Nice work.

[Captain Blood]

Nice figures and nice painting.

They look a lot like Rus or Varangians or something though. They don’t look too Anglo-Danish!

[Pirx]

Thanks!
@Captain Blood
Because they are. Miniatures are Varangians from V&V. I´m aiming for Cnut the Greats North Sea Empire. So they are a bit more danish than english. Maybe from south sweden? If i remember correctly there where major eastern baltic influences in the region. Anyway i think an army of this time should be a rather diverse bunch. Got a pack of Victrix Late Saxon/ Anglo Danes yesterday. So these fellas should stand out a bit. Fitting for Hearthguard.

Those are nice figures right enough, I've not seen V&V painted up before but they look good!

[rampantlion]

Really nice work!

[Cubs]

Beautiful.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great painting!

[OSHIROmodels]

Lovely 

[Tonhel]

Looks great!

The V&V miniatures are beautiful. The only negative is they are bit to big compared with the footsore and Victrix mini's.

Thanks everyone!

So... feburary. Task is one point of warriors. I choose a mix of Victrix new Anglo Danes/ Late Saxons, 1 Gripping Beast and 1 Stronghold Terrain Miniature. The last one isn´t the most historical accurate, but i got him from a friend who also anticipates at the "Heerschau". Thought it woulb be a nice touch to include the figure. Planed to change his boots to something more suitable but didn´t think its worth the hassle.

Yes they are! But i think they work quite well with the new Victrix kits. I include a size comparison.

Nice! Have you gotten in many games with Anglo-Danes using loaner armies, or anything? Very fun warband to play!

Thanks! No I haven't. To be honest there was no opportunity for it. Just painting the second point for the warband. I hope i get the warriors ready ready till next week. But i will try it once everything is ready.

Phew... that was close. Just finished the february task. I love painting shields but it needs so much time...
