The first couple of figures for a Viking command element for DBA that I put together. Generally these are a copy of the viking command that I did previously. I think they are executed with a little more skill, and so overall are higher quality. I'm quite happy with the rave flag especially!

The second couple of figs for the vikings command. These are also based on the viking command that I did previously. I picked these two figs because they really have the character of command figs I think; Charging in with axes up ready to take down the Saxons general!

Another camp follower. This one is more or less for the vikings, but would work for pretty much any dark age army. It was fun to build!

I decided this would be my viking camp follower. I know, he looks kinda fierce up on that horse waving around that sword, but trust me, no self-respecting viking would fight from the top of a horse! Seriously, I painted this one up to practice painting 15mm horses for my Andalusian 15mm army... And also, maybe, some time in the distant future, I will use it as a command base for Warmaster Ancients!

I held off painting this stand because formed up archers aren't all that viking imho... Still, I wanted all of the options, so here they are. These ones, along with the berzerkers next were painted up a full year after the rest of the army, but they turned out pretty good anyway :)

Done over a year after the rest of the army, I am pretty happy with how these turned out... Why someone would pick warband over blade is beyond my expertise, but they look cool, so what does it matter ;)

Here they are in all their slavering glory!

The general's stand. I decided to snip the original, tiny banner and replace it with something a bit more to my liking! Took a bit of extra time on the design as well. I am pretty happy with it! Also I did a couple of nifty shields, including the musician's Thor's hammer and the entwined beasts on the general's shield. See a bigger pic of the general's shield below.

I love that leather armour! It just looks so much better than mail in my opinion. The shield on the far right end of the stand was inspired by one in the Fanaticus Dark Ages Shield Gallery.

More ravening vikings. One of my more intricate gripping beast shield designs.

This one is one of my favorites! The red head with the snazzy shield is an Irishman gone viking who is apparently quite proud of his heritage! He even used an Irish trist-like shield design!

Another of my favorite stands. The raven shield on the right end of the stand didn't work out as well as I had hoped, but the shield on the left end of the stand is easily my most intricate gripping beast design! I am quite proud of that one.

This stand is also a good one. I kinda cheesed out on the llongship shield, but hey, you can't have a viking army without a longship somewhere can you? The shield on the left was a lot of work, and it didn't even turn out all that great...

Another cheesy shield here. Still, it turned out great!

I love the two figures on the left side of this stand. I imagine that the
figure second from the left is saying to his buddy "You said there were how many?" while deciding whether or not to run for it. All the while, his buddy is gnawing on his shield waiting to put the hurt on some Saxons! I like the colours on the shield on the right, but the design itself is a little uninspired.

This stand was one of my first, and the gripping beast shield is also my first. In spite of that I am pretty happy with the stand and the shield!

This stand, sporting two nifty shield designs, isn't one of my favorites. The knot work shield didn't really turn out (especially compared with the Irish shield design above) and neither did the gripping beast. I found the reason for this was the texture on the shields. That wood grain was impossible to work with using fine details...

This stand includes a berzerker in a wolf skin with a great shield design. This was also one of my first and I was quite happy with it. Again, that leather armour is my favourite, and although it was tough to paint I would rather have all leather than all mail!

Psiloi rock the spot! And they recoil from blades!

A collection of close-ups of my favourite shield designs from the army. Note the one on the top right is the general's shield. Pretty expensive design and paint there!

Camps are cool! Unfortunately I wasn't inspired so just went with the standard two tents on the shore look... I tried to do it to scale with the 15s as well, but the hole-punched shields are a bit small. Still, I am happy at how it turned out none-the-less!

A closer view of the water. It was done using a slightly rinkled piece of paper, painted, covered in watered-down white glue, and then painted with a coat of clear, shinny nail polish.

And last but certainly not least, my ZOC marker. Based on a Swedish runestone, it is entirely hand painted right down to the smallest Futhark rune on there!
