I finished the last (well, see below) models. As you may have noticed, all the horns on the helmets (also from models of the previous groups) are just black. That is, because there are only 5 models with horns, and I wanted to paint them all together, so I saved them till the end.

As I mentioned in my first post on the Nordmen, I am 6 models short of the maximum allowed number of the army list. While recently shopping for some monsters for Frostgrave with West Wind, I ordered another troop pack. You only get them as 10 model packs, so now I am a bit above the maximum allowance.

This model will get the axe cut off, and replaced by a pole for a smaller flag in Tjure's flanking unit.

I cleaned the last 10 models for the unit, glued them to their bases and glued sand around their feet.

One model's axe I cut away, and drilled a hole for a piece of brass rod. This one will be the banner bearer for the smaller detachment.

I then basecoated them with 74.602 Black Surface Primer through my airbrush.

I started to look into the banners I will have the two banner bearers carrying. After some Google search for Viking banners, I quickly found Odin's Raven as a symbol I liked quite well. Using the image from the Wikipedia page as a basis, I came up with the two following designs:

The larger one will be for the main unit, the smaller one for the detachment.

Colourwise I am not quite sure yet. I think the inner colour will be white, what is now black I envisage in a deep red... but this remains to be seen.
