Ninefingers' Viking Age Stuff

[Ninefingers]

Having more or less finished my Britons and Early Saxons project, I've now moved back to my one true love; the Viking Age. I've got a lot of stuff already for this period (Saxons, Norse/Danes, Irish etc) but I'll chronicle everything from now on here.

First up are some Vikings from the Ragnorok/Gripping Beast range, fending off a hail of arrows from some cowardly Saxons. Some of the men have gone down already, but I've still maintained two bases of six figures for a full unit of twelve.

Next up is a Viking commander (a very grand figure from Gripping Beast), an Irish prince (also from Gripping Beast), and a Saxon king (from Alternative Armies I think? Not the best sculpt, looks a bit like Captain Pugwash...)

If you're interested in seeing other Viking Age stuff I have, there are links to battle reports from my blog below:

The Battle of Clontarf 1014
The Battle of Northam 1069 (slightly late but still all the right protagonists!)

Nice work.  I look forward to the rest of the project (and I'll have to check out your links also).  I have Ragnorok (amongst others) on the painting table and am looking for inspiration.

Great stuff,

I need to follow your lead and do my Vikings also
