Title: Kitbashed Norsemen
Post by: Engel on March 21, 2013, 12:32:33 PM

I havn´t seen anyone doing this but thought that it could be done, kitbashing Gripping Beast excelent plastic Hirdmen with Conquest Games Norman infantry.

The plan is (besides giving me some more cheep miniatures) to create something that could be used to represent Norsmen Gestir troops.
Statvise they will be someting in between Hirdmen and Bondi.

I think they turned out rather nice but things to have in mind is that Gripping beasts necks are on the torsos and Conquests are on their head.
I covered the joints with some liquid greenstuff after I used the shoulder parts from left over arms as the neck.

Hope it can inspire you to test something diffrent.

Well done with your conversions. I always feel it is important to have as much variation in pose as possible for such warbands
I used sprue to make necks for the GB heads and hollowed out the neck for the vice versa when I mixed Warlord and GB vikings with some degree of success...

Smashing! Thanks for sharing! While the specific end result isn't something I need, the idea of mixing sets like this is brilliant.
