"Probably the best ever made". That's the tagline to the new Vikings Kickstarter from Footsore Miniatures And Games and the sculptor Matt Bickley. Whilst that might seem like a bold claim, the 28mm Dark Age miniatures as part of this project are pretty damn special!

Matt Bickley's Vikings // Footsore Miniatures And Games

This massive Viking horde comes from the sculpting of Matt Bickley who has gone to town on this range. Each of the sculpts (as you'll see) is gorgeous and packed with character and motion. If you're going to be playing some Dark Age skirmish wargames this year then this is going to be a range you'll want to invest in. You've got all of the basics covered and plenty more besides.

The miniatures are split across three epic pledges. The first of these (above) is Odin's Wrath which contains a lot of your rank-and-file miniatures. You've got Command figures and Berserker alongside Bondi and Hirdmen allowing you to create a great raiding crew.

Thors Hammer - Footsore Miniatures And Games

Thor's Hammer // Footsore Miniatures And Games

A slightly different set of core miniatures for your Viking army is presented as part of Thor's Hammer. As you can see, this comes with a selection of different sculpts for you to use when reinforcing your Bondi and Hirdsmen as well as alternative Command figures to lead the way.

The last of the sets is for Loki's Tricksters where the focus shifts towards some of the mounted figures that you might need in your army.

This set features some ace Hirdmen/Bondi armed with Dane Axes as well as those mounted troops and the Shaman of course. This might be a good set for those who already have a lot of Viking miniatures and just want to supplement an army with a mounted contingent.

You can also throw caution to the wind and get your hands on the All-In Pledge if you're someone who likes all of the miniatures you've just seen.

All-In Pledge // Footsore Miniatures And Games

Effectively, you'd have all the Vikings you ever need if you went for this pledge level. Rampage across the North of England and set up a settlement to annoy the Anglo-Saxons!

Stretch Goals!

As this is Kickstarter, there are also some ace Stretch Goals for you to snap up as they get added to pledges.

Halls Of Valhalla Stretch Goal - Footsore Miniatures And Games

Halls Of Valhalla Stretch Goal // Footsore Miniatures And Games

The Halls Of Valhalla set comes with some legendary characters from the sagas. You can get Ragnar Lothbrock, Ubba, Rollo, Bjorn Ironside and more to help lead your mighty armies. As with all of the other miniatures in this set, they are stunningly sculpted and are little masterpieces in their own right.

Make sure to dive in and see what else is coming up as part of this campaign. Ivar The Boneless is on the way and if you're someone who just wants to pick and choose, you can also get plenty of Add-On packs.

Will you be diving into this epic, Viking Kickstarter?
