Title: Fury of the Northmen
Post by: Nord on October 25, 2018, 05:06:45 PM: Love me some vikings, got quite a few already painted, but these are my favourites - V&V Miniatures, resin figures all the way from the Ukraine. Just four to start with, gonna tackle them one Saga point at a time, hopefully quicker than the six months it took to get these finished.

Lovely PJ to, Nord.

Post by: Nord on November 01, 2018, 05:56:57 PM: Thanks for all the kind words guys, much appreciated.

And yes, they are finely detailed, personally my favourites on the market, though not everybody likes to work with ultra detailed resin figures.

Started the next batch, some bondi, it's early days as yet, but here's where I am up to. I post regular updates/WIP shots on my facebook page for those that are super interested. :)

I wrote a review on my blog a while back, skip to the pictures at the bottom, though only minis from my own collection for comparison.

Great work. I will enjoying seeing these latest figures when they are completed.

Very kind comment, but it's pretty simple glazing. That's what you get when you buy a finely sculpted figure, it practically paints itself. :)

Your painting is top notch as well, brilliant skin tones and tattoos.
