Well, he has no standard yet, but he will. This is the second installment in my Viking unit. This is a figure by Gripping Beast, as was the first figure. This is my favorite miniatures company.
This is the leader for my first unit of Vikings. These guys will be used as Danes for the Rus army that I am working on. Eventually I will use this unit as the basis of a Swede army.
This is the first of a 20 man unit so there will be more to come.
