@mage You just gotta love Vikings 😀 Nah in all seriousnes, most everybody knows how much influence the Romans had on our culture but the Vikings did their fair share too. I’m not just on about the Viking Raiders who pretty much forced us to up our Military game, but the Viking settlers in East Anglia (the Danelaw) and even the Viking settlers in France (The Normans). They all brought various Laws and things that surpassed the oft outdated Roman ways of doing things, and many of their Laws still stand today in some form or other.

I know the popular image of the Viking is a huge fur clad warrior gripping a massive Battle Axe but in truth they were traders, farmers and explorers too, discovering far off lands way before the guys who unfairly get the credit for discovering them. This opens up a shedload of gaming ideas and “What If” scenarios like Vikings fighting against Native Americans, Chinese Dynasties or pretty much anybody that was active circa 450-1100 Ad.

Oh and Matty wanted Classic Harley Quinn and I couldn’t get it from my Go To retailers (Element, Firestorm, Dark Shere or Wayland) so ordered it direct from Knight Models
