Viking fleet - posted by Peter Dunn, 26 September 2021

Repaired my Viking fleet this afternoon.
These have sat on various gaming shelves around the house, in boxes, all drawers etc for the last 20 years. Pulled them out and put them all back together.
Amazingly after all this time there was only one piece missing - a single stern decoration.

Great models from Essex

Very nice models. Are you planning a Viking Army?

Lovely boats. Do you use 15mm boats with a 28mm army or all 15mm?

Have always wanted a Viking army but the lists seem to make it a pretty difficult one to use; irregular blade, no cavalry to speak of or good auxiliary. Have they been useful when you’ve used them?

    John Gildea my experience was under DBM. The Leidang were a very good army, virtually unbreakable. The Viking raider army struggled due to the QK by oh so prevalent knights.
    Haven’t got them out under DBMM but keen to try them vs contemporaries

    John Gildea , not that difficult. They go forward. Have a factor of 4 , and can usually get kills in following combats with overlaps.
    Knight (x) are harder, they don’t follow up.
    Use Vikings as a sub-general in other armies where they are not ally? Is another option.
