AGE OF BLOOD- Viking Project Log

[Mott]

I recently purchased these fantastic 40mm Vikings (more like 50, as they are twice the size of 40k figures) from sash and saber models


http://www.sashandsaber.com/index.php4


here is the test model i did, to see if i could do the fantastic sculps justice

He turned out quite well, he is the leader of the Danish (viking) warband

make no mistake he is BIG that is a 40mm base!!









the icing on the cake is that this, being a small company they charge $40

for boxed sets of 20 figures! (seperate head weapons and shield options)

i have 2 warbands each of around 40 figures, and got them all for under $140

heres 5 of the big chaps Sword Danes (elite warrior caste vikings armed with high end equipment)

Thats some good quality right there, and a good paint job to match. How about a scale shot with say a marine so we can get a sense of how big it really is?

[Mott]

no marine handy forgive me (theyre packed in case )

[TheOverlord]

They're 'uge! Perfect for ogryns!

Haha awesome paint job there

[Novogord_Vivendi]

Very nice figures. And what kind of rules do you use for them?

[Shadowphrakt]

They're 'uge! Perfect for ogryns!

I was just thinking that. But really good paint job there! Keep up this standard of painting, it's awesome!

[Mott]

Its in depth, and features RPG like character elements and VERY in depth campaign system

BEARDS > everything.

Those models are lovely and the paint job makes them even more so. Get some more of these northern raiders done.

[Mott]

The 5 viking sword danes are finished. 5 Saxon Huscarls are on deck!





forgive me thats WITH macro im just that lame with cameras

[templar1013]

Hooraaaaaay BEARDS!!

[deathskullork]

Those are really cool model and you have definately done them justice, keep up the good work.

[Mott]

im having real difficulty picking out a paint scheme for my saxon hearth troops...

They are similar to the vikings with rounded (bubble almost?) shields and long cloaks.

I was thinking either dark red shields\cloaks.. or dark purple? thatd be a REALLY wealthy lord though...

[Kasrkin 666]

Wow, those are truley beautiful. As for the colors on the saxon hearth troops, why not try a light or almost dark blue.
