Nicely painted - and well placed on the bases, the figures interact well together - great work !

Good looking units - particularly liked the 2 grizzled front row veterans having a casual chat under the standard!

Very nice  :-* :-* :-*

The addition of the Jomsvikings gives them a very Eastern flavour- is that what you were looking for in the unit? A more Swedish look [though they could be Norwegian(?); not sure that the Danes traveled East(??)]?

Must admit to being a complete novice when it comes to all things Viking. Became enthused after reading the Bernard Cornwell books and then a chance viewing of the Kirk Douglas film! Have been collecting the units purely by how nice they may look :0)

Well, you could just as easily use your army as it stands thus far as Rus too so you've killed two birds with one stone :)

I do like a good Viking army and these are definitely good. Loving the Swedish vibe too with the Rus and the guys in lamellar armour.
