Hello all! For Drunkendwarf I painted these Fantasy Vikings. They are the Nordfolk from the Westwind Dwarf Wars range. Admittedly, there is no hammer among them ;) He will finish the bases himself as you may have guessed.
Enjoy!

yes I like those, nice paint job :-* :-*
-
Nice, I'm looking forward using them!

You did a nice job with them. I think these pictures are the first time I have seen these particular figures painted, so thanks!

-
Thanks all! A lot of these models don't appear in picture on the Westwind site (the ones from the character packs I guess) so I sent them these pictures. Who knows, they might become famous! ;)
-
These look really nice...both painting and the figures...I may have to look into them for a Norse Warband for Skulldred.
Keep up the good work Pil!

You say there's no hammer among them, but I can see Hammer pants! Stop! It's Hammertime!

Excellent work. These guys look ready to torch some thatch roofed cottages. This here guy is my favourite:

Very very nice.

Whoever is getting the Gang of Norse Ne'er Do Wells is getting a TREASURE for mere money. I hope he's neat with finishing the bases. As always...VERY WELL DONE!
-
Splendid work! I really like them, they ooze character. Perfect for RPG miniatures. Thanks for bringing these minis to my attention. Congrats on your brush work!
-
I hope he's neat with finishing the bases.
I am.

Nice paintjob! and they are definitley some of the more characterful fantasy vikings on the market!
-
why are they so thin around the waist. The last guy with MC Hammerpants and axe especially must be skinnier than Kate Moss . His biceps must be almost as big as his girth?
Isn't it obvious that he has a girdle, that isn't a wide belt? :D
-
I guess all the proportions can be attributed to being a "Westwind thing". I think they are super muscular rather than skinny waisted, as the figures are rather large. Still, being fantasy Vikings, I like that about them 8)
-
£4 per mini is a nice price for a good level of painting. I may send some your way at some point - I also plan to delve into the Dark Age... maybe after Christmas....
Do you do plastics? I plan to get the Gripping Beast box (44 pcs), and it would be a tremendous relief to send, say 10 or 15 of them in commission, while I concentrate on a few characters....
-
Of course I paint plastics! I'm not too well known in historics so if you want them historically correct (in one way or another) you'd have to provide some examples or detailed descriptions. Other than that it shouldn't be a problem 8)
-
Sounds good.
Actually, Vikings did love lavish colours, so they would always use dyed garment in preference to 'natural' wool and linen. As long as one stays clear of too bright/rich ('neon') colours, almost anything goes. :)
That being said, of course some colours were rather expensive to make (pitch black, rich scarlet, deep purple, for instance), but such fabrics would have been looted when raiding or bought for the spoils of war, and any warrior would grasp any chance to show off his wealth = prowess in battle, anyway.
Actually, flat pink was quite common, as red dye would often not be rich enough to result i scarlet, an wear and salt and sun bleach would take its toll.
Enough ranting... I'll have you in mind for later!

Lovely work Pil :-*

Very nice work.
