About the Project

With the arrival of Matt Bickley's Vikings, I finally decided to sell off my old Citadel Vikings. These were 25mm miniatures made in the '80s, and were some of the first miniatures and armies I ever bought. I had over two hundred of them. I knew I was never going to use them, so I decided to part with them in order to make room for the new. I decided to keep just a handful, and paint up a little tribute to them. This is not a diorama, really, because it does not tell any story. I think it is more of a homage. These minis represent a more happier and trouble-free time in my life, so they deserve a worthy send-off or funeral. That is the crux of this project.

Hi everyone,

I did some work on the last miniature. I had to modify it to make it look like a Viking. I use mostly MagicSculp and Milliput. I do use Duro (Greenstuff) when I model parts that can be snapped easily when handled, like horns, flying hair etc.

Until next time, stay safe and have fun.

Hi everyone,

I finished this project this morning, just before going to work. Individually, they are not much, but together they look good. This range never had many figures, so back in the day, I did a lot of conversions to try and vary as many as possible. Most of the conversions came from the Norman range that Citadel had at the time. That is why I wanted at least one converted miniature in this piece – just to add to the nostalgia.

Overall I am please with this.
