Painting - Vikings - 28mm Ragnar and Lagatha

So a week or 2 ago I was browsing TMP or some other such miniature news sight I saw a post that Stronghold Terrain had done a couple of miniature version of the lead characters from the TV show Vikings (un-licensed I assume). In a batch of impulsiveness I couldn't resist ordering them since they looked great, plus I am fan of that show even thou I have only ever watched the first season. But they are a fun addition to my other Vikings.

Lagatha:

The first I painted was the Shield Maiden, I think this is a very nice model so I tried to do a good job in it which I think came out pretty well. Obviously it looks better in person then a blown up picture from my phone but I do what I can. The face is the weakest part.

Interestingly while I was looking around for what colors to use I came across the photo I assume inspired this:

Paints Used:

Ragnar:

And today I finished up Ragnar, another great model from these guys. I don't have as good of a picture to go off for this one, be he always seems to be wearing leather stuff so I just went with that. They included a few barrels and tire in with my order so I decided to add a barrel to his base as well. So this makes I believe 5 Viking warlords that I have now (2 Ragnars actually hah) which is totally needed.

I found the face came out better this time, the beards make it allot easier to pain for some reason. One great detail I like about these that is often ignored is the swords. Ragnar has an axe so his sword is still in it's sheath, the lady has hers out so it is not also in there. The glue on the base is still wet where I put down some clump foliage but that should go clear as it dries.
