Northmen completed.

 Well I got the Northmen painted for Fantasy Warriors and Ravenfeast. I have been spending time playing some board wargames, Commands and Colors Ancients, Combat Commander and Panzer have all had an airing.

Here is the Warchief and his hangers on.

And his Berserkers.

I particularly like these two.

I'll be able to use these as a little army of their own in "Fantasy Warriors", they can be allied to the Dwarves or the Orcs and so are very versatile.

I'll be able to play "Ravenfeast" with Vikings on both sides and they can be the core of a human army for "Oathmark".

Champion!.

Some more Northmen for "Fantasy Warriors" and "Ravenfeast".

 I finished another little unit of Northmen yesterday and started work on some Berserkers and other characters.

I gave the leader a canny mullet.

The banner is from the Gripping Beast plastic set but I put a bit extra paper around the pole.

Here are some Berserkers from the Warlord Celt sprue, they still need some green stuff added.

Also from the Warlord sprue are a couple of Heroes.

A nice, relaxing and enjoyable little project.

Just the job!.

"Ravenfeast" hits the table.

 Having painted a few of my Gripping Beast Vikings I thought I would try out the rules that I bought them for, "Ravenfeast".

 It makes a nice change from all the "Fantasy Warriors" games that I have played recently. "Ravenfeast" is available free from here link and is a canny little game.

Jarl Einar and his men advance into enemy territory.

The enemy await.

I bet you were expecting more Vikings, eh?, with "Ravenfeast" you can create stats for anything. 
The Orcs send some wolf riders to outflank Einar.

Einar forms a shieldwall. 

And the Orcs pile in.

As do the wolves.

There are wounds galore!.

The Orc "Hero" bannerman is killed causing a morale test for the Orcs.

Against the odds an Orc archer brings down one of Einars Huscarls with a "Death worthy of a song", this causes a morale test amongst Einar's men. 

To Einar's relief the test is passed by all affected.

The wolf riders fail in their attack.

The Orcs begin to scarper.

And the Orc leader is forced to yield.

Me likey!.

I can do a lot with these rules.
