Wounded Raider

I was sitting at my desk and this figure from Artizan (I think) was lying undercoated under some bits and pieces. A couple of hours work, and I like the results.

I'm particularly pleased with the detail on the bandage and the tone of the red under shirt. I don't really collect medieval stuff (or earlier) but I could be persuaded to add to my small force of 4 vikings.

A couple of angry chaps

This evenings work, painted up a couple more Vikings. I like how they turned out. All I need to do is undercoat and paint their shields.

The Vikings are coming!

When I came in from work this evening there was a package from Artizan Miniatures waiting for me. I was pleased to find my order for some WW2 Commandos and a small pack of Vikings which I had ordered.

Now I know very little about the Vikings and there background, but I liked the models and thought they would make a nice change of pace painting wise. The above pillager is the first Viking model I have painted and I'm pleased with the results, I think I will quite enjoy raising a small raiding party!

Oh I should add I am yet to paint and attach this chaps shield so for the moment he looks like he's grasping thin air!
