Vagabonds Viking Village - New Base board
« on: July 11, 2020, 09:17:32 PM »
Years ago, 3 or 4 I guess, I built a Viking village and chronicled my efforts in the Workbench section, I was fortunate to get lots of good advice there and finished the project. I then played a game and posted it on here http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=97032.0 and yesterday I made a new board 2' sq from some material I had bought and then laid out part of the village and got some of the Vikings out of their storage and took some pictures.
This is the first time these chaps have been in daylight since 2017, they must really hate me, so to cheer them up I'm posting a few pictures here. If you look at the old post I would be interested to see if you think the new board base is an improvement on the previous one.

Cheers


Raiders taunting the homesteader.


Dressed in their finery the local Lord and his men defy the raiders.


The two forces shout insults at each other.


Not as picturesque as the rest of it but the heart of the village, the midden and cabbage patch.

Well maybe not.


Just before they charged to contact.

I shall go and see how they are going on, there's a hell of a din in the gaming room at the moment.

Thanks guys, I much appreciate your encouragement.

Michi your Vikings must be very bold indeed if they will risk their lives for a few cabbages.  ;)

Ragnar, you've got me there, I don't know, I got it in a box of lead, it's some sort of wooden frame, I imagine it's a bit like the village stocks, somewhere to fasten miscreants for public humiliation, but I could be totally wrong. It didnt have a figure with it, so it could be a drying frame for animal skins or anything else your imagination comes up with.

For me it's just a bit of scatter terrain to make the village look lived in..
Cheers

Lovely looking board. Will Argonor, fortified by his mead go on a raid to get revenge in Uppsala?

Sorry not had internet for a few days,  Argonor will raid Uppsala as soon as I've built the church for him to burn down, 3 and a half years and counting, but one day it will happen, he will get his revenge.  >:D
