Viking minis

[Manus]

In a different thread Undave linked to Gripping Beast - the have some really good viking minis. I have been looking a round for minis like that, but it has only been possible to find a few others around. Does anyone know any viking minis out there - everything is of interest.

You know, I have some very cool looking ones, but I\'m unsure of the manufacturer. I think they are \"Ghost miniatures\", but not sure.

I\'d be happy to post photos if you are interested.

Ok I would say start of by checking out www.historex-agents.co.uk. On there site do a search for viking and you will get about 5 pages of minis from 1/48th to 120mm. Allso check out dark slave miniatures german warrior and bran celtic legend, both would be great for vikings and can be found in the coolmini shop. I would allso say look at dark sword miniatures as some of them would work well in a fantasy style viking way, they can also be found in the coolmini shop or by doing a google search.
If you could give the kind of size and style you are looking for i\'m sure people could help find what your looking for. Hope thi helps a bit. Gary

Just thought of another one if you don\'t mind a little work www.princeaugust.ie on here you will be able to find molds for viking minis in 40mm so you can cast your own and make as many as you want. As I said it\'s a bit of extra work but if you wanted them for a large army it would be an inexpensive way to do it.

RAFM has a line of Vikings. I can\'t say they are the best sculpts in the world but they don\'t totally stink either. I have a bunch of them painted.

The catalog page showing them can be found here.

Dude, you should have PM\'d me I\'ve got a ton of em.

Black Tree
Artizan
Dixon
Old Glory
Irregular
Magister Militum
Essex Minis

Those are a few off the top of my head, as most of my links are on the old computer. I can personally vouch for the top few but most of the others I haven\'t actually ordered from at all so I can\'t testify as to the quality.

If you want any more I can fire up the old beast and see if I can find more links.
