So I’m back. It took the better part of a week to back up and replace the hard drive (still have my Steam folder to add to the external HDD backup). I’m feeling better in relative terms in that I’m over what I believe was the flu, and am down to more general, low level winter cough and cold misery. The more important family health stuff is ongoing and slow, but will hopefully work out to 100%, though there’s a couple of months on that road yet before it’s done. Thank you to all of you who left comments in the previous post, and apologies for not having replied individually.
These figures mark the beginning of “Book Two” of my Vikings. Cannon’s ones are all now done, so we’re onto the Vikings that I’ve actually purchased myself. These three are from Wargames Foundry, and are in fact the old 1986 Citadel F8 Vikings “Oldhammer!” that Bryan Ansell moved across from Citadel to Foundry back in the day. I picked up two of the packs awhile back (VNS001, VNS004) and skipped the berserkers and archers for now.
These three are the first of the next sixteen. I should have some more up shortly if I can get back to regular updates without any more roadblocks coming up.We’ll see how it goes, I’ve still got a ton of older posts to repair…
Finally, the shields. This trio is pretty simple, though I do like the yellow/white/red one. I may reuse that particular pattern on another shield or two as I move through the rest of the metals.
Azazel's Bitz Box. 
Brilliant mate. I’m loving your viking posts.
I’m on the Foundry site now and the off shoot one, casting room. Sooooo many good minis but sheesh the postage and exchange rate sure adds up.

Thanks mate. Yeah, it adds up quickly. They’ve got some sweet models there, though – so every so often I pick up a batch making sure I have enough for the free shipping.

Thank you, Warburton. If I could only find my camera that has decided to go missing now, I could get the next batch of these guys photographed and posted!

Good to hear things are improving mate, and thanks for sharing these lovely vikings! So much character in these old sculpts 🙂

Thanks Alex. There’s just something cool and characterful about so much of the Perry’s old work. And to be fair, a lot of their newer and current work as well!

The shield designs are again the star of this post. Really well done and often simple geometric designs work best.

Thank you, though on the metal models I do like to take it further than halving or quartering when I can – though I still like to have a mix for variety. When I get to the plastics, expect to see a lot more of the simpler ones! 😉
