The Irish have arrived…
I went with a wilder, more bare-skinned look to distinguish them from their other anglo-centric cousins. Also, lots of green and yellow tones to go with the style of the shields. Finally, I trimmed down all the shields to be more like bucklers – reflecting the faster “hit and run” style of the Irish.
More Valkyries. A command Hearthguard unit as well as one with Dane Axes. The heroes cover the general Warlord as well as any Heroes that my daughter might want to take. In their first game, the Valkyries/Jomsvikings soundly trashed my sons Vikings!
My daughter asked me for a SAGA warband but wanted women. So after some searching I went with Shadowforge Valkyries models. I am using Jomsvikings rules which seems to reflect their elite/angry style. Some minor conversions gave me four units of Hearthguard plus some additional models that are in progress.
Ragnar Lothbrok and, inspired by the great Vikings TV series, his brother Rollo (old Gripping Beast model).
To accompany my growing SAGA collection, I got myself some simple MDF buildings. A bit of texture and fur, and they made a nice dark age village for Vikings to raid.
Egil and some Viking Hirdmen.
Here comes the core of the Vikings. Two units of Bondi. I went with axes mostly to visually separate them from the spear-armed Anglo-Saxons.
Good King Harald Hardrada and some Varangian Guards.
