White Wolf Miniatures Show Off Their Shieldmaiden

We've seen a lot of Shieldmaiden miniatures over the past few months because of the success of the History Channel's Vikings TV series. With that in mind we've got one more from a new company called White Wolf Miniatures...

Do you like their work?

The realistic proportions of this mini means it would look odd alongside my “chunky” saga minis.
Gorgeous in any scale.
very much like.
That looks very promising.
As a show piece, I think 54mm would allow for some great painting detail work.
