Suggestions for a cool Viking ac valhalla mini :-)

[darctos 176xp 1]

A new assassins creed game is on the way and I was searching for a mini that looks like the main character. I couldn’t find a good match yet, but maybe you know of one? I’m always surprised by what other people find, so I’m looking forward to your reactions!

if you do that terrible 3D shite

but there are a pair based on another viking franchise that you could convert if you have the mind to

Footsore have some exception vikings, https://footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/vikings Ragnar and Erik look like they would be good as well, although there are a couple of hirdsmen miniatures that are closer, but they are part of a pack not singles.

Happy hunting

To be fair, Hasslefree have basically got you covered on this one. As Avernos pointed out, there’s those two. There’s also these.

Those last two are gorgeous but you might want to wait for them to come out in metal. Now the Assassin’s Creed vikings are heavily based on the vikings tv show (much moreso than actual historical vikings). There’s a lot of partially shaved hairstyles which would be associated more with the Eastern Europeans than the Northern folk.

If you want something that looks a bit more historical but also really cool then Dark Sword Miniatures have this beautiful viking warlord that would fit right in with almost any viking collection. He’s a Jeff Grace sculpt (similar size and style to Tom Meier’s Dark Sword stuff) so he’s more realistically proportioned than most other miniatures meaning his sword is a bit on the slender side.

I even painted mine and photographed it years ago with a shoddy camera.

 

Dark Sword have plenty of other Wildlings that would also fit the bill in their GRRM line.

Mierce do some good vikings, you might want to check their Anglecynn (fantasy Anglo Saxons), Brythoniaid (fantasy Welsh), Jutes (fantasy Jutesd with a beetle obsessed), and their Norse (fantasy Norse with trolls). If you get the Anglo Saxon spearmen (Duguth) in resin the spears have a metal rod inside so they don’t arrive bent. Clearly they put the metal rod into the mould before pouring in the resin.

Here’s a few recommended sculpts.

Awesome suggestions!! Thanks so far, going to check them out when I get home 🙂

Both HassleFree and Footsore minis are really good shouts, though you might find that getting duel weapons not sheild and… could be tricky. Might help, but the Nords raiders from Para-Bellum are lovely duel weilding viking models, if you could use the whole box.

Also, for just a big box of mix and matchable vikings try looking at Fireforge games.
