Painted Viking Bondi Unit

 Back in my WAB playing days, I ran a Viking army that was all Hirdmen with archers.  I really needed a unit or 4 of these Bondi.

 So here they finally are.   I finally got around to finishing them up.

I think they turned out well.  Mostly Gripping Beast plastics with a metal model or two and a Foundry model, Mr. Striped Pants below.

 Oh yea the armored guy does not belong.  He's a coward.

And above is the backside of the models. 

Another Warlord for my Vikings

 I'm enjoying the character models.  This will be one of them, an old Foundry Miniatures model.

Scale on him is a little small, so I did raise him on the base a little bit to help his short stature.

 Lots of mail to paint, but that's okay.

Painted Blood Rage Viking

 For being a relatively cheap plastic game piece, I'm rather surprised how well it paints up.

 Yea this mini once had a massive spear, but that was so badly warped and I could not get it to straighten out.  So plastic is your friend and convert it right.....not so fast.

 My normal plastic glue would not weld this, obviously a different type of plastic.

So pin and superglue the axe head.

 I think its a cool mini and plan on painting the other versions of it in different paint schemes.

As always more to follow.

RUN!!!

An Old Glory Miniature now painted....

A variety of Dane Axe Miniatures Painted

 I've been painting away on various minis that I have lying around.  I have a bunch of Dane Axe and Berserkers modeled up.  The one above is a Gripping Beast metal.  The one below is a Saxon Miniatures now part of Warlord Games.

Then this one below is a conversion using of a defunct War Games Factory miniature, now also part of Warlord Games, converted with Gripping Beast parts.

As always more to come.....

Hey! Saxon! Here, Catch!!

Ooooppps....sorry bet that Hurt!

First Saxon Unit....Painted

Its taken a while to get to this point, but I liked how they turned out.  I'm using the same basing scheme as my Vikings as likely they'll be just my house WAB army for downstairs basement action. 
These are all Gripping Beast plastics with the armored front ranks being the Saxons and the back ranking Fryd being from their Dark Ages Kit.  I also decided to use a number of different colors in the pallette to distinguish them from my Vikings.  A little bit brighter colors.

 Yea the banner is missing.  That's something that I still have to get around to.....

 Staying with the same theme on the movement trays....attempting to tell small stories with them.

 I purposely painted the Fyrd in more muted colors to the emphasize the lack of money they had in comparison to the armored folk.

Well that's it for now, as always much more to follow.....
