Saga - My Vikings
Shield designs
The most fun was looking into shield designs on Google. It is said that historical games painting can be restrictive. The uniforms of an era would usually have been in a limited range of colours and that some historical gamers might criticize you if you get it wrong? Well I know that you may run the risk of this against some opponents, but when you go as far back as the Dark Age, the amount of available and reliable written history is pretty limited. The freedom to go nuts on the shield designs is within reason completely yours. I found myself limiting my pallet for clothing to muted browns and linen colours because i researched that some brighter dye colours were so rare that only royalty could afford it.
