Title: Suggestions for Norsemen (and little Norsemen too!)
Post by: betterZthenDeaD on June 29, 2012, 09:34:42 PM

After reading this...

I've got an inkling to put together a small 'Norse' war band. To that end I'm looking for some suggestions for Norse/Viking humans to match the Ratnik Dwarves. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm also hoping to build a Viking long boat so I'd also be interested in any suggestions anyone has in terms of crew numbers and possible models.

Many thanks good people!  :D

For boats look at this one:

They are still training oarsmen, but it seats 100 anyway....

I think the Foundry vikings are the best match. They are sometimes accused of being too "fantasy" which works well when used as such.

Or if you don't need a lot, Bronze Age Miniatures does some good, large fantasy norse that would work well too.
