I've been putting off getting stuck into my Medieval Russians and have been finding it hard to get motivated. As I have a brain like a grasshopper ( I leap from one idea to the next) I decided to start painting some Norse type figures for Of gods and Mortals ( the "mortals" will also double as a Lion Rampant Viking Faction).
First up is a Frost giant which I picked up cheap from Ebay. He's a D&D plastic mini which I have re-painted and re-based.

A quick size comparison pick with a gripping Beast plastic viking.

Next I've got a Valkyrie and a "mortal" Jarl on my painting table.

Awesome. I'm a huge fan of getting some pre-paints and "saving" them. They may not be brilliant miniatures, but for the cheap price you can find some gems and really polish them up. Looks good.

The Big Blue Guy turned out SPLENDIDLY...a GREAT paint job & a BEAUTIFUL base can do wonders. VERY WELL DONE!

Nice figure. It would fit with my nordic fantasy stuff well.
Just looked at ebay.de here to see if it is available. Its selling for around €21 most of the time which i consider MUCH too expensive for a plastic figure. I could get a metal one for that price.
Anyway, i like what you have done with it, and the base is beautiful!

Thank you all for the comments.
@ Steam Flunky: I managed to pick this one up for £14.00 inc postage, so I think I lucked in!

Anyhow, just finished my "mortal" Jarl. He's a Foundry Ltd Ed mini and is HUGE compared to a normal 28mm mini.

I might use him as an Odin "proxy" until my one from Northstar arrives.

Gorgeous!

Just completed my Valkyrie for Of Gods and Mortals. She's from Reaper miniatures (metal not "bones") and I'm pretty pleased with her. I wasn't too sure about the shield as it's not "Norse" looking but I think it suits her.

PM, that is a rocking mini and a damn nice paintjob to boot.
I assume 25-28mm scale?
What size is the base?

Grimm

She's actually quite tall (about 30mm from foot eye) but appears even taller because she's cast onto a raised rock base. I put her on a 40mm round base and added some more rocks to blend in with her integral base. As she's being used for Of gods and Mortals, she actually fits better by being a little tall.

I really like your Valkyrie!

The Jarl & the Warrior Babe are BEAUTIFULLY painted & based. They go well together...the tabloids would call then an item I'm sure. VERY WELL DONE once more...you have a real flair for Fantasy!
