I decided to paint one sprue from the Zvezda Viking box as Rohirrim to match them with the Steppe Cavalry from Dark Alliance miniatures as they don't sell infantry from Rohan.
I think they turned out okay but I won't be painting the rest of the box as them because I also want to use these miniatures as actual Vikings and I like Vikings with not so dull colours.
These are all the miniatures contained in one sprue. The box includes three sprues like this one plus a little one with two commanding figures, a general and a standard.
An unforgiving close up showing some hand painted shields from Rohan.
This figure with the cloak is the most similar one to those from the movie.
You cannot go wrong with green and white. They look great, Javier!
ReplyDeleteThanks Miguel, but being Vikings they need to be more colourful IMHO :)
DeleteThat may be true hisorically... Just add another 100 and use other colours! :D
DeleteJust the rest of the box :D
DeleteThese look superb!
ReplyDeleteThanks my friend! :)
DeleteAs written in Bennos, they really do the part , I also used them with same purpose,
ReplyDeleteGreat works here around
Hi Carlos, thanks for your kind comment. I've been scanning your blog and you're having a lot of fun with the war of the ring rules so I'll have to check that ruleset. I'll be using Warrior Heroes Warbands from Two Hour Wargames once I finished painting at least two opposing factions, mainly because I'm basically a solo player.
DeleteGreat looking "Vikings", Javier - Zvevda makes some of the finest 1/72nd figures.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dean. Yes, I totally agree with you, Zvevda is still the best around in plastic 1/72 figures.
DeleteGood idea!
ReplyDeleteThey work brilliantly. I particularly like the chap giving his opponent a good kick!
ReplyDeleteYes, he's kicking his enemies in the most appropriate Viking way :D
ReplyDeleteCheers Alan,
