SAGA: Berserkers!

As a supplement for my Gotlanders, if I want to field them as Vikings instead of Anglo-Danes, there is one unit that must not be missing of course - the notorious Berserker!

Miniatures from Gripping Beast but with a little bit of converting - the all don´t use shields!
So if you look a bit closer at these guys and remember the one Gallic gladiator from the movie Gladiator, you may find some similarity ;-)

So I would call my force of Gotland for SAGA completed for now, a picture of my complete force will follow in a few days.

Another point of Hearthguards for my little force of Gotland Vikings

And once again another point of Hearthguards for my Gotlanders, this time with mixed weapons, so I can field 2 units of 6 figures each - one with Daneaxes and one with 1handes weapons and shields.

Shields again all freehands, miniatures are Gripping Beast.

This will bring my little force to 6 points for SAGA, the next miniatures are just for adding some variation, so I can play them as real Vikings, if I want.

SAGA: Warlord and standard bearer for my Gotland Vikings

The Warlord for my little force of Gotland Vikings - ready to go on viking, accompanied not only by his hearthguard, warriors and so on, but by a standard bearer too.

The are both based separately so the standard bearer can join a unit but I also made a movement tray to group both together.

Shield and flag are both freehands again, the flag is based on a motive of a Gotland picture stone.

The movement tray:

And here the force, as it is ready for some games now - 4 points. More to follow over the next few weeks.
