Thanks for this. Big help on deciding between GB and V figs. I just ordered Victrix Dark Age Archers as well as the new Rus kit. Looking forward to them.
I just picked up the Rus as well (their shipping announcement was a pleasant Friday surprise, I didn’t know they were imminent!) and I’ll have a review up shortly. I can already tell from experience with the Viking kit that my recommendation for new Viking players will be to pick up exactly the kits you ordered.
I prefer Victrix minis but spears and swords are not as robust although to get round this is I usually use weapons and arms from other miniature makers like Oathmark, Frostgrave. Nice video
Found it: the Gripping Beast Viking Hirdmen set was released April 24th, 2010 (at that year’s Salute)
Great vid as always!

I can't keep up with all the content and I love it. Like the new channel name too! Gotta have a brand out here :D
Gonna slow down for a couple of weeks as I’m traveling abroad, but I already have a couple of videos queued for future release. ;)
i am a huge fan of the gripping beast minis they are really easy and fun to paint with speed paints. there metal models also have a lot of character!
Thanks! 😊
What is the standard bearer figure on the left with the animal pelt? He looks great!
I’ve been waiting for someone to ask about that, haha. He’s actually a 3D print sent to me by a friend, I can ask about the company if you’re curious.
@@Dan-ds8sf happily I have a 3d printer! Yes please if you could let me know I'd appreciate it.
@ He’s from the ‘Journey to Valhalla’ line from Loot Studios: app.lootstudios.com/journey-to-valhalla/
@@Dan-ds8sf Thanks for the info.
I love Victrix models but spears on their models snap too easily, or I'm too clumsy. :)
I find the truth generally lies somewhere in between two options. ;)
