Title: Vikings!!!!!
Post by: Jacksarge on 11 May 2016, 06:52:52 AM: Some miniatures that I just finished for a mate - VIKINGS!!!
These are 28mm metal miniatures from Stronghold Terrain . There are still 2 more shield maidens to be completed, and they are well underway. It seems that a number of the sculpts are based on the "Vikings" TV show, which I have never seen myself, apart from some stills online. My friend said I had a freehand with 'em anyway, and didn't have to stick with costumes/appearance from the show.
I had a lot of fun painting these figures, helped by the good quality of the sculpts.

The "Dark Ages" is my favourite era, so I was pleased to be able to have
the chance to paint these.
My own collection is pretty much Alfred era Anglo-Saxons, so not sure if these
would work with that lot - what do you think?
