The beginnings of a 'Fellowship'...

...for The Saga of Bicca Biccasson project. My order from Gripping Beast arrived on Thursday morning in the mail joining that received much more promptly from North Star  ~ make of that what you will. What it does mean for me is that my initial plan for the project can now move forward with some variety and choice in respect of figure painting alongside the Late Romans and Matt's Footsore Vikings ~

I'll share the 'hoard' of extras I've so far acquired with you now. I shall need to flesh out a few thoughts I've had so far on developing a simple game to play with my grandchildren if they like  as I go along ~

A Frostgrave Frost Giant, not the most lively giant on the market, but he 'will do' as we say here.

Two Trolls from Copplestone next. Yes, I know it says Yetis on the label but I saw them on the web painted as Frost Trolls. A good cheap option for my project I thought!

A few Dwarves next, from Gripping Beast's Ragnarok range. 

The Undead warriors from the same range. In addition to these I'm looking for a small and cheap dragon. Lots of options about for when the Warchest is replenished mid month, so more on that later I hope.

Next up six of Bicca Biccasson's Hirdmen, from Matt's Footsore Viking range of course. In case you are wondering what I am planning for the bulk of the Kickstarter they are allocated to the 1066 & All That project. I might add a few of his Dark Age Welsh and pass them off as Hiberno-Norse to fight my Normans. Finally, Phil and I have clubbed together and pre-ordered a copy of Mudguard, sorry Midguard of course. He even has a few Vikings in his lead continent which we can add to our project to flesh things out.
