Knoris

As I mentioned to you in my previous blog entry I had ordered another figure from Gripping Beast alongside the Penda vignette and the LBMS shield transfers and banner. Without more ado then I present to you Knoris, the King Under the Hill - I'm too tight to afford a mountain - Troll Killer, Slayer of Dragons, Brother in Blood to Bicca Biccasson and so on ~

He's the first of my figures for a small Dark Ages/Norse Mythology romp; otherwise the Saga of Bicca Biccasson. It will be, I hope, the true heir to the Saga of Noggin the Nog if ever there was one! More figures for this side project will appear as and when, so you'll need to be on your toes to keep up!

    In the lands of the Midlands, where in the dark night that is very long, the Men of the Pendelands sit by their great log fires and they tell a tale of Knoris the Kog.
    A fine looking piece of painting to start the journey.

      He will do something or someone's knees serious damage!

    Very nice figure and very well painted, the purple really sets him off well.

    Ah….
    Dwarfs would have probably been my second guess….
    Your safe from the Elves though… I don’t think the Norse believed in them… They did however have some nasty undead I think…
    A lovely figure David…. I look forward to seeing where this goes….

    All the best. Aly

      I am running this alongside my Late Romans for now, so one figure at a time is the plan! I started number two this afternoon while waiting for paint to dry!

      Thanks Matt! I confess that's more restrained than I expected, given my responses to 'Space Gnomes & Fairies' on your posts.

    A fine figure of a dwarf to commence the adventure with.
    Looking forward to future developments

    A cracking figure there David and looking forward to seeing how this project develops. Anything Norse/Viking related always ticks many boxes for me, having endlessly enjoyed the Kirk Douglas 'The Vikings' film:). Oh and of course who could not but love Noggin the Nog et al!

      Thanks SteveJ, I think Vikings and all things Viking have always been popular in modern times. Not so sure our Dark Age ancestors would have agreed though...
