28mm Painted Wargames Foundry Viking Cavalry and Infantry.

Going through my figure boxes at the weekend and came across my vikings from Wargames Foundry which I painted several years ago and have decided to take a few pictures before I sell them to fund an expedition to Salute 2011 in April, it's the largest show I go to and where I pick up figures and supplies for the rest of the year (not that I don't buy a few trifles online throughout the year either) but this now unused collection plus some overtime and a painting commision will hopefully fund this years expedition.

Some pictures of the cavalry and some infantry, took pictures of all 102 figures in groups over the weekend and have a terrible group shot aswell.

  1. Nice looking figures. Pity you have to sell them, but on the other hand there's little point keeping them hidden away and unused.

  5. Still the best 28mm Vikings on the market after all these years. I own all them (huge collection) and would never be able to part with them. However, I wish you luck.

  12. I used to play Warrior and then we changed to Field of Glory. Now my ancients sit in a room. My dad's too. Ah well perhaps we'll break them out to fight against the evil Martians.

  15. Thanks for the inspiration! These guys are beautiful and is a good kick up my backside to get started on my Vikings (Wargames Factory) to populate my Long Ship. Keep up the great work!!

  16. Very nice collection - I especailly like the work on that mounted unit (plain black shields a brave choice, but it works!)
    Need some close-ups of the normal infantry though...

  17. @Donogh: I have lots more pictures, the shields were kept plainish for when I got braver and would try transfers.

  28. Vikings, yeah! They look brilliant, hopefully you got a good price for them.

  29. I'm surprised you don't get more commissions. I'm not even sure how you would go about that. Trade magazines I guess.

    Anyway, try not to feel too bad about selling them. Not that you said you did, but I get the impression that selling them might be done with a twinge of regret.

  30. This makes me wanna pick up a hobby like this to keep my freaking sanity! ;) Love this!

  31. Don't sell angry. Hail Caesar is coming.

  32. Wow dude all of your figures are always so well done. Bravo friend.

  33. I really hope you get to Salute 2011 and refill the stocks exactly the way you wish. I do like the Vikings even though there is a small historical discrepancy. Being half Norwegian myself, I know for a fact that Viking cavalry men rode on the backs of polar bears and not horses. But other than that I think they look extremely well detailed!

  34. Wow, very great work, the paint is amazing! How long does each normally take?
