With so much of my focus lately on getting my various years-old Space Marine forces updated to the point of simply being legal to play with in the new edition of 40k, my Vikings have been… well, not my immediate focus. Much like my Dwarven Slayer project that’s also still very much a thing and something I’d consider active – just briefly paused for a few weeks – or a couple of months (the time, it goes so fast!)
Anyway, here’s a group shot of those “Book Two” models I’ve completed so far. Hopefully it won’t be long until the final five join them!

Your Vikings are my favourite. Nice mate very, very nice

Cheers mate! Still plenty more to come before I take a proper break from them.

With shields as good as those, no one would be strong enough to stop them! I’m impressed at how you are able to do the perfectly round circles on them.

Thanks Ann. One of the most enjoyable things about the Viking project has been how the shields really push me to do different things to the usual with freehand.

🙂 I know how you feel mate – personally I don’t like to have too many projects on the go at once, but totally worth it when they are all so damn good!

They really do betray my early-90’s influence, don’t they?

If the 90s taught us anything it’s that life is too short for dull realism!

There’s certainly something to be said for that – particularly for tiny miniatures that you view from four feet away!

Looking good, and I have to echo the comments about your shields, they look great!

Beautifully done! This could actually inspire me enough to carry on with my Hail Caesar Viking army (although I really wish I’d picked playing Saga instead, waaaay less models to paint lol!).

Thanks Paul. Unless you’re multibasing, you can always use your Vikings for both. I just blur-tac my individually-based fantasy and historical models onto plastic renedra trays or cut-MDF bases, and use them for “block” games and simply demount them for skirmish.
