Most of my weekend was spent either gaming or working on my nautical entry, but I did pop out these two guys in a little spare time. They are both 28mm from Gripping Beast, one a warlord for my Saxon army and one for the Vikings for games of Saga. I had originally thought to do the Viking in red and the Saxon in blue. However, in my usual gung-ho fashion, without thinking I started the Saxon in red. Being lazy, I finished him thusly and did the Viking the same. So, they do look pretty similar, which was not the intent. Oh well, I do like the figures. GB does some great stuff. I wish I got their stuff for my armies!
The shields are leftovers from my previous Viking/Saxon efforts. They looked nicer than the GB ones.
Reverse angle. I did manage to make sure the hair color was different, though it led to my age-old question: which are more likely to be blond, Vikings or Saxons?
The Viking. He will go with the Mithril fig I painted a week or so ago, giving me two warlords to choose from, one in red and one blue. Options are good.
A small entry for me, but a little forward progress. My fleets are almost done for the nautical entry -- just waiting on my good friend Amazon Prime to deliver a fine-point opaque marker!
And a fine pair they are indeed sir!The shields really do set them off , Its always good to have a choice.
