Introduction to the Viking Campaign-25mm.

By way of an introduction to my latest campaign,I will set the scene and introduce the Viking characters who will take part in it.

The main Viking "King" is called Bloodnok,he has 4 "captains under him,called:-

Brian-the - Blessed,Eric-the-Idle, Sven Erikson,and Magnus Magnuson-all command ships with a "crew" of 3 units of warriors.


This is "King" Bloodnok-a nasty piece of work!

Top photo is Sven Erikson,bottom photo is Magnus Magnuson.

The viking fleet has sailed down the Channel,crossed the Bay of Biscay,and landed,for supplies,at the small town of Fisterra(in Norther Spain)-the local garrison was completely wiped out in a vicious assault led by Bloodnok,Brian and Eric,but not before a prisoner had informed them that the next larger town was rich and ready to be captured,but that their army contained Cavalry,the town is called Santiago-and this will be the first reported battle of the campaign-next week.



Terrain maps of the "skirmish" at Fisterra and the first big battle at Santiago.
