Whilst I am a fan of the vast majority of my Black Tree Design Vikings I had two models that I was less fond of and as such choose to replace them and give the two unwanted lads to my son as he is now starting work on his second Saga Army.
I actually plan to have another go at adding a banner to the spear as I have one banner with my Little Big Man Shield decals I bought with the plastic Vikings so you may see the guy on the right again if that works out.
I realise the guy on the left would be a commander and not strictly Viking but he is a mean looking bugger so will get used for sure.
I really like the animation of the spearman and I am pleased to report that the Black Tree Miniatures and Gripping Beast fit together very well allowing you to have a great mix in your units without it being obvious they are different suppliers.
The figures got block painting, ink wash added by brush and then highlight picked out in the original colour. I now have a reasonable sized warband but have loads of figures that I plan to paint up to allow us to try a few larger none Saga games. In the meantime we just need to find time to play Saga again!
Well done, nice looking warriors!

You did a great job on these fellows. I'm thinking I could use some to augment my LOTR ROhirrim army, they would add some variety and the GW plastic figures are not that great. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe LOTR plastics are smaller so these would stand out a bit, though if you base them on coins or such then the higher plastic base would compensate

Very well done Ian!
