Nasty things - adventures....

Good luck with that, my wife tends to be understanding about my odd need to collect and paint but sometimes I push it to far then I'm for the high jump....

The current foundry Norse are about right, I think maybe a little bigger but I only have a champion from that range i picked up from a sample pack. The ones I have are the old range which are the exact same figures as the citadel ones except they have a molded base not a slotta. No idea if foundry still make them but if they do that would be the most comprehensive part of the citadel back catalog available! The old feudals were the same...

I have a regiment that mixes some of the old Citadel Norse w/ Foundry Vikings, and they do rather well mixing. The Cits are a bit shorter, but realistically so. The newest Foundry Vikings are huge, Mike Owens sculpts I think. Would still look fine on the table, but line 'em up and you'll see the big diff.

Cool any pics?

Some of the foundry ones I have are identical to the citadels so there shouldn't' be any difference in height, though I guess it depends which ones you're comparing.

I wouldn't care about height difference with vikings.
They are meant to be Norse in Fantasy and in my opinion, as a result, they should be massive anyway!

I'd go with foundry if you can't get citadel. 
Maybe even gripping beast.

Yep pics would be nice!

Not thought of Gripping Beast - cheers Rob!

Here you go:


Citadel, Foundry Frank, Foundry Viking, Gripping Beast Viking, Foundry, Citadel, in the front row.

Nice unit, lovely paint job. You have quite a mix but they work well.

I have quite a few of the perry Franks in my Frankish horde, I love them but as I said only one the newer foundry vikings.

I've never bought any gripping beast though there late Romans and Arthurians have often tempted me. They just don't look great until you paint them.

Do they mainly get used in fantasy games?

[Thantsants]

Very nice indeed - must stop being lazy and paint some stripy trousers!

The different ranges do mix well - lovely paint jobs help I'm sure!

I never play games, just a sad, lonely painter,,,

The boys have never seen a battlefield, but they are currently playing the part of Saxons in my WAB Age of Arthur collection to fill the ranks of my mostly Musketeer Saxon army.

The GB Arthurians are beautiful painted!! I sold some of my precious Ogres:

to buy an army of them, and it was a great decision! They are next to be photographed on my displaced minis site, so keep yr eyes peeled!

Don't go leading me astray by talking about Arthurian stuff 

Just finished rereading a load of Rosemary Sutcliffe stuff a while back and thought a war host for Artur the Bear would be rather nice... 

Man that must have been a tough decision to lose those lovely ogres...
