Viking, Leidang, and other Norse Armies, 8th-12th Centuries

Vikings as painted and based by Raven Painting.

This line represents Scandinavian warriors from the Dark Ages, those ages being dark due in no small way to the ambitious depredations of certain of those warriors (although certainly not all Scandinavians went on raids). They well deserve the title of "sea wolves," due to their rapacity and large scale, coordinated raids. They have a reputation as fierce, skilled fighters who engaged the enemy with heathen savagery. The Norse raids and invasions were incredibly successful, and had a profound effect on Europe's history and indeed its very make-up: Normandy and Dublin being but two prominent examples of the legacy of the Northmen. To this day many Britons bear names which derive from the ferocious Norsemen who invaded, conquered and settled England in days of old. Russia's very name derives from the Vikings who founded the Kievan Rus state. This line can also represent the armies of free farmers who served in militias at home as well. The models are mostly being sold in large "value packs" meant to offer the most afforable price to the gamer that is possible, and to give a large mix of poses and types, as surely would have been the case in the armies themselves. Sculpted by Mike Broadbent; we think you'll agree they are the most beautiful sculpts of Vikings available in 15mm!
