I glued another five vikings for the comp, bringing me to ten so far.
At some point I'm doing some scenery as well, but I haven't yet settled on what that'll be.
I really like the Victrix vikings! They're great sculpts, I only have two concerns. The first is the very thin spears and swords. I guess there is a definite advantage to heroic sculpting in this regard. These vikings look awesome and realistic, but I'm afraid I'll break at least a couple of them regularly. I make gamig pieces, so they will get handled, perhaps dropped sometimes, and those spindly spears in particular won't take much of that.
My second concern is the abundance of action poses in the set. It is a minor niggle, only when you get 8 of the same very distinctive pose in a set, they start to stand out a little. But I can deal with that to some degree, so it is a minor concern. All in all a great kit.
