Saga - My Vikings
White Dwarf to the rescue
We're surrounded... but never fear... uniformity will save us.I love free hand on shields. I have had the expected average improvement with practice over time with my own efforts, but text and tiny details that appear on transfers allude me.
A workmate gave me a set of Wolfspear 40K decals from a White Dwarf. The runes were small enough to be believable on a shield. I didn’t research to see if these were based on historical runes but I chose to use them regardless.
I only took pictures of a few, but I dotted my collection liberally with these runes and am happy with the results.
I can see the flaws in my paint jobs as these were painted many years ago, but I have too many other projects to complete before taking a backward step at the moment.
Warlord and Standard bearer have the same symbols as their hearthguard, just in the alternate colour.
Several quartered and halved shields got this treatment.
Thanks for the gift Mark
