That Brynhildr is incredible!
(And it's so nice to see 'female' miniatures that aren't just so much gross cheesecake.)

The Alan Marsh sculpt is my favourite  :-*
I reckon I would convert/replace that whopping big axe with a sword or spear, that way it  would work better for my Alfred era Anglo-Saxons.

Lovely figures Annie! Brynhildr is my favourite, but the helmeted Æthelflæd is also extremely nice.
Think I'm going to replace the axe with a spear as well.

Would love to see your version of Scatach.

...Yes. The axe is grotesque. But Brynhildr's face has a Scandinavian character about it.

Cheers, they're all out now! Selling like hotcakes too so thanks for that everyone who's bought so far!


The axe does look a bit bigger in those greens photos than it is, but it is a Dane Axe, so they are pretty big. I think the painted image will show it better (being worked on at the moment).

I'm intrigued by the idea of 15mm further down the line (especially seeing some of Alan's 15mm work) but for the time being it will be 28mm. Hey I'm only 26, plenty of time :D *looks at huuuuuge list of figures planned, wonders if will achieve them all before death*

Slightly derailing the thread... Will Great escape be carrying stock this weekend at Hammerhead Annie? Will need to pick up Thorrun.  :)

Not a derail :D Yes they will have the whole lot. I am down on reserves, so there's still a chance I'll pull off my usual trick of being added the night before when someone's car blows up, but I'm not banking on it!

Any chance for getting the Lagertha model as a single piece along with some other single minis? :)
