A very distant Aunt......apparently. According to the Ancestry.co.uk ers out there, so I have a real interest in this story and of course Sir Roger who helped start our family, i'm only 95% convinced of this as fact though.

Medieval barbie...

Kick-ass. Well why not, no reason she can't break heads as well as hearts.

He is either a very  brave person or a very isolated, introverted geek. I have enough mockery from friends and colleagues for playing with toy soldiers. I dread to think what they would say if I ever confessed to dressing up barbie dolls(actually I already do I just don't tell anybody).

My girl linked me to this article, aparently new evidence sugests that half the Viking warior remains were in fact female! Sounds like we need a lot of new miniatures for them.  :D

Yeah... if you follow the (three year old) source link, and search around for less tabloid-ey articles (heck, just look at the first comment there) about a third to half of the small sample of early medieval scandinavians (those notorious settlers) buried in England were women. Some of them had swords and shields buried with them. That's it.

I visit Tor.com myself, mostly for the Star Trek rewatches, but it almost borders on a SJW tumblr at times. Not to say that there were no women among them, but if Tor lights on the subject and loudly declares precisely 50% of viking raiders were growling amazons (with their special attacks 'hear me roar' and 'crotch kick') I'd take it with half a pound of salt.

I am willingly take the news as gospel truth as an excuse to that  I can now start painting at least as many shield maidens as I have bearded warriors.
Now please, can anybody prove horned helmets for Vikings too?

But aren't Vikings like dwarves, wouldn't the shield maidens have beards too?  lol I think it was a side-effect from eating all those books...

I wouldn't expect evidence and reason to hold you back.
