Title: Viking Runestone
Post by: Funghy-Fipps on January 06, 2010, 10:40:07 AM

Thought I'd share this viking picture/runestone (actually, there's no runes on it  ::)) I based up the other day.  It's for a fantasy skirmish project I'm currently working on, though of course would work equally well for Dark Age shenanigans.  Apologies about the pic, but given the current lack of sunlight I had to take it under artificial light so there's a bit of glare...

There's a quick tutorial (not that any of you really need it...) on how I went about it on my new and completely unnecessary blog (http://awargamersprogress.blogspot.com/).

Very nice, and the tutorial was interesting too. I am a sucker for all things Viking and may have to get some of these for myself.

Cheers,
Ruarigh

That´s a superb terrain piece, most useable for any period, even imaginable in America!

Very nice.  I expected to see assyrians rather than vikings, given the style, but still, really nice.

Very nicely done, the base setting suits it perfectly.

Always pleased to see my stuff painted up :)

It was a pleasure; a really easy piece to paint up and, as I point out in my blog, the detail is fantastic.  I can see this piece getting a lot of gaming use!

Cheers chap!  Same to you.
