First up are a few 'Viking Heroes' I bought from Simon of the Big Red Bat Cave. I have based and undercoated some of them including a Thor figure, the huge 'Rollo the Granger', 'Brogger the Bold', 'Happy Thoruiv the Flatulent', all from Foundry and Gripping Beast's 'Sven Forkbeard' swinging the large Danish axe. I feel sorry for the ones standing behind Thoruiv the Flatulent...
"What's that smell??" (middle row l-r) Brogger, Thor, Sven (front l-r) Rollo and Thoruiv.
Next are a small unit of Viking archers (also from Simon) all from Foundry.
Sigurd indicates which direction to fire in...
Lastly are a few Saxon villagers and an oxen pulled cart from Foundry, plus an unidentified plastic pig that I have no idea where she came from. Based and undercoated she seems to fit ok as a big ol' sow though!
Some Saxon villagers go about their daily business, blissfully unaware of what lies in wait for them.
A quick snap of the whole lot...
Figures from Foundry and Gripping Beast.
Our group are still leaning towards the Strandhogg system for our rules of choice, despite the release of Saga. They look to be a simple but effective set - for a great detailed review of them check out Cor Blog Me!

Have you managed to get a copy of the rules?
Hi Arhun - yes, managed to get hold of a copy online from Leisure Games. Not had a chance to play yet as we are still building up the forces etc but I think they look pretty good. Really enjoy reading the batreps for your fantasy take on the rules - will possible use your modifications after a couple of games too!
Really like the villagers and wagon. Recommend the review at Cor Blog Me too, well worth a read.
Those look great. I especially like the ox and wagon! Look forward to finished product
