 As I said in a recent post I had the rest of the Vikings underway, so here are the four figures from the handful Matt gave me which are now completed: Bicca Biccasson and his Hirdmen. The group of three Hirdmen includes Olaf Nonumbersson bearing Bicca's Wolf banner and two others ~

As with the Bicca figure you will already have seen on my blog you'll have noticed that they remain unbased and with plain coloured shields. These are really test pieces from my perspective, looking at how to choose a paint sequence and palette for the metal figures when they arrive and waiting on news of transfers of course for the shields.  I think they warrant an individual close up now if you'll indulge me ~

Olaf Nonumbersson bearing the Wolf banner.

I downloaded the wolf image from a Norse mythology site on the internet and resized it to fit the resin standard. I then promptly dropped him and broke the shaft! Super glue to the rescue, but I doubt he'd survive the rigors of gaming!

Einar Boogarsson, Bicca's strong left hand!

Bjorn Breklig Bicca's strong right hand!

The main characters in the Saga of Bicca Biccasson, perhaps? Or Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge alternatively? No rush to decide anything as yet...
