February 19, 2019 by dignity
Sound the warhorn SAGA fans, we've got a double bill of unboxings for your Viking needs, from the chaps at Foundry.

First up is the four-point Viking Starter Warband which contains a longboat-busting twenty-seven models: Warlord and Standard Bearer, four Hirdmen, four Berserkers, and two sets of eight Bondi, plus a casualty.
As if that wasn't enough we've also got the three points Viking Reinforcements which has twenty-six models consisting of four Hirdmen, eight Bondi, twelve Thralls and two Casualties.
All of the models across the two 28mm sets are completely unique allowing for a real sense of individual personalities across your warband.

They don’t have no horns… those can’t be Vikings… 😉
My old Norwegian boss would be livid at this. He’s a dick, though, I wouldn’t pay any attention.
Nice unboxing. Always liked their ranges
Must say I think it’s a terrible set you using. Seems to be no interaction with the camera and seems to be a get it done as quickly as possible and get the next one in and filmed
one of those things, other people hated the long rambling unboxings because they didn’t focus on the miniature and you had to trawl through 15 mins of chat for 3 mins of miniature. Just have to pick a direction and go with it.
I actually think that the level of banter per miniature a.k.a. BPM is well balanced. If you were actually doing something like going into the history of the units represented or talking in depth game tactics along side it then i would expect a longer, more relaxed, more fleshed out video of up to 20-25mins. As it stands,as a simple “Lets open a box’n’av a look” i think its pretty spot on. As for the miniatures, they look good, i haven’t seen SAGA played yet so don’t really know anything about it so i think i’m going to go watch… Read more »
That background panel is like having a visual migraine! Also having Gerry stood next to and towering over Justin is amusing… (as an six-and-a-half footer myself)
We need to get more vids of Gerry and Sam unboxing together to make it even more amusing. ?
Foundry minis are always awesome. They can be a bit chunkier and suffer from some of the old metal mini issues – gorilla hands and swords that look like clubs – bit otherwise some really great sculpts. They generally rank up very well with the Saga or Warlord metals or Gripping Beast plastics.
I picked up a couple of packs of Vikings the last time I visited Foundry, very nice models, still not a Saga fan but thought they would be a nice start to a Viking Army for some other system and they really do rank up well with gripping beast plastics. If any of you have not visited Foundry, it’s a must do, I’ve done it twice now and if you contact them ahead of time they can really do your visit up right! They took me and my friends on a battlefeld tour around their farm where the last battle… Read more »
nice traditional metal viking figures.
Anyone else think the Warlord mini could pass as a mini of @avernos cosplaying as a Viking? ?
Justin’s alternative warlord looks like Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees?
Now who snagged those for himself, Everybody is afraid to fight for them.
lovely sculpt.
Fantastic unboxing. I’ve looked at these sets so it is good to see them up close and personal. And well done to @dignity for handling the nude mini without immediately getting those clippers out. Perhaps you are finally making progress on this issue?
