Finally added some shields and bases to these (and painted a few more while I was at it) to start off the mortal element of my Viking Of Gods and Mortals factions.
The longer I own these models the less I like them.
Also the shield transfers were a bind and all needed quite heavy over-painting
But they're "done" now.
Apart from the fact that I need to paint another one to get two units of 8.
Nice work.
ReplyDeleteNice job, but I'd have to say the Victrix Vikings look to be the very best quality now; and put the Gripping Beast models to shame. I too have the GB ones, and liked the detail at the time but felt the posing was limited and in placed kinda awkward. If it was a period I got any play out of at present I may well consider upgrading to Victrix...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree. I think these are not great models, all bow legged and awkwardly posed. Were I to start a serious Viking army now I'd definitely go Victrix, but as I already had these and only need a few for OGAM they'll do just fine.
