Viking Swordsman and Converted Dane Axes...

 This is one of the former Saxon Miniatures' Viking Warlords, now a Warlord Games model.

 I have two versions of this model.  I think its a semi-cool looking model, but its to linear.  The second model I'm likely going to at least bend the shield arm.

 I needed guys with Danes Axes, now I have a bunch.  A variety of pieces used in making these guys.  The one on the left has a Gripping Beast (GB) Plastics body with arms from Wargames Factory models that Warlord Games now owns and produces.

 The next one is a GB Viking with a Dark Ages head.  The next one in blue is a body from Wargames Factory with GB arms and a GW Empire Flaggelants head, and then the standard GB.

Once again....you know it....more to follow.

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.....

More Vikings ready to pillage....Pics of Unit #2

Much like the first unit, this another big unit of Hersirs.  Heavily armed and armored. 

Similar to the other unit, I made up a movement tray with a bunch of eye candy to show off the unit.

This included various bits of armor, weapons, shields, bodies.  

I actually found painting the shields to be quite fun. The third guy from the right in the front rank is a converted Warlord Games barbarian.  The second guy from the right with the dane axe is a converted War Factory Games model.

Below is a better side view.

Views of the rear of the unit.  The second guy from the left is Gripping Beast plastic model wearing a cape from the Fire Forge knights.  The banner is also from the Fire Forge knights.

The beserker is an old metal Gripping Beast model.  Its really showing its age as a sculpt, not very good casting.  I plan on replacing all of those models, they are just very good looking.

Below a better view of the command.

Yep, I think he took a good hack to the upper body by the looks of it.  

And above is the unfortunate casualty for the Vikings.
