Norse (Skilfing) Battle Host

Well, it's finally here! 95% of it, anyway... with only the new Knútr missing, the battle host for October contains a literal boatload of vikings for the Norse kindred of Darklands! These are, quite simply, the finest viking warriors you'll ever clap your eyes on!

As always, these miniatures are presented to you as supported and  unsupported LYS and STL files to download, print and play! Worth over  £500 if purchased in resin, we're offering the digital files for just £9.99!

We'll post the MyAirBridge link once Knútr is ready, to save us some upload time, but for now you should have received a link from MyMiniFactory to redeem your files.

From the bleak lands of the painted to the soft coasts of the south, from the icy shores of Thule to the windswept beaches of Frankia, the Norsemenn are reviled in the darklands as murderers of women and children, pillagers and slavers without mercy, wild and savage killers that destroy almost everything they touch and take the rest for themselves. The fury of the northmen sweeps all before them, and yet the Norse, the Skilfing kingdom in particular, are not so barbaric - nor so different from other humans - as many would choose to believe. To live upon the cold edges of the world where the soil is poor, with the incalculable threat of gods and jötnar in the mountains around them, who is to say other men would not take to the seas to plunder and raid to feed their children? To the Norse, the weak are nothing, for their realm has taught them that only the strong and the ruthless survive, and their victims that see clearly understand that one day the strawhairs will not merely raid their coasts; they will surely take them and the lands beyond.

The Lands of Darkness

The Norse clans of the Skilfingar are many and varied and stretch from Svealand in the east to Norrland in the west, and even parts of Daneland; but all their petty kings pay tribute to Ingjald the warrior-king, the ill-adviser, the Dane-killer who vowed to enlarge his kingdom by half towards all the four quarters - or die in the attempt. So it is that the longshipmen take to the seas from all corners of Svealand and Norrland, to bring wealth and tribute and slaves to their King. So it is that Ingjald seeks alliance with those of Jötunheimr, the once-enemies of Midgard, for their power and strength. So it is that he invokes the names of the Æsir for their aid in their conquests - for the Skilfingar will have their king's oaths fulfilled.
