Here comes the Norsemen! Viking Project
Entry 1: The Beginning Saga: A Boring One At That.
How did this began? Well; I stumbled upon it by luck of the draw. Literally. HMGS Fall-In 2022 saw us return to the Lancaster Host and Resort, nowadays the Wyndham Host in Lancaster, PA. This place saw my first time attending as a game master 8 years ago, next month will be 9. Back to topic; I bought a sandwich for a lot of money. I had money left over and spent it on tickets for a raffle. Out of the 4 things I put tickets into, I won 3! The Warlord Games Viking starter and the SAGA 1E rulebook combo was one of them.
I am in the autistic spectrum and I was so overwhelmed. I was more than embarrassed that I won all three in a 2 minute span; in front of dozens of people and beaten out two of my club mates.
They managed to calm me down and said I could plan a club game. This was back in early November. It is now the end of December and I built 134 Vikings and painting has started. I really have not plotted out my force at first but only after I started looking. Here is the force in their plastic and primer glory until I can paint them.
Mixed in are a decent number of RDG (Or is it RGD?) Centaurs and Fauns that may cross paths with the Vikings when I expand to include more Berserkers, Shield Maidens and more commanders. I’ll explain more of the force structure in part 2.
