ClintB: Toppimg Out (28mm Viking!) (6 Points)

Well this really is my last entry this year and all praise to Curt for a brilliant job, well done! So ending on a highpoint. Here is a single 28mm female Viking. As no one objects to male topless berserker figures, as an equal opportunity painter I thought to do a female one.  The figure is from the "Belt-fed" range by Colonel Bills.


Great fun to paint. The shield is my own design but based on a re-enactors. So not historically accurate as far as I am aware but great fun. And as I intend to do some CONAN wargaming this year she will fit very nicely into that. Not sure which rules yet, maybe "Crom" maybe "Songs of blades and Heroes". Anyway here is the shield.


It is u to you to decide if it is a longship or a sea serpent. For me it is both and totally suitable for some Hyborian shenanigans.

Once again thanks to all involved in the challenge especially Curt and Sarah. I am already looking forward to the next one.


From Curt:

Lovely viking Clint! Wonderful work on the stripped trousers, shield and (ahem) other accoutrements.
