I'm gutted I didn't buy Viking plastics back when I decided to splash out. In the end I got mostly Gripping Beast metals, and frankly the older sculpts (which, being Vikings, they mostly were) are crude and quite roughly done. Decent quality for filling a unit, not great for a skirmish force.

Your lovely paintjob on these (GB plastics or WF?) is just rubbing salt into the wound!

Beautiful work on the shields, mate.

Was just idly leafing through pages of the Medieval board over a morning cuppa, and spotted this thread. I missed it when it was on the front page it seems. Absolutely gorgeous painting! Are those the Gripping Beast plastics? Fantastic stuff!  :-*

Those are some excellent Gripping Beast plastics there!

I like how you put the armoured Gripping Beast viking heads onto the Gripping Beast Dark Age Warriors bodies. I noticed that those dark age warriors weren't all that viking in style, but with the heads they do fit the bill very well!

Thanks

Hi folks,

after a long time i finally managed to continue my dark ages projects.

This miniature is the brandnew viking warlord by StrongholdTerrain and was part of the special-deal of the german SAGA rulebook.

Cheers,
Daniel

Lovely stuff. Well worth waiting for!

That is a wonderful figure, full of character. Your painting has certainly brought the miniature to life. Excellent work on the face, cloth and shield especially.

Fantastic...they look like they setted right out of the Vikings TV series and onto the tabletop. Great brushwork. Thanks for sharing.

I kind of want to see your miniatures from another angle. It would be like the behind the scenes section a movie.
