I've gone with the d option using Baueda figures. It's in the to paint pile.

...you have to know which tactic you prefer most. You can field Vikings as well as Leidang mostly as slow but powerful iron figters. But here is also an option to field a few fast auxilia...

I have the Viking b army with additional Bw elements to field a version of the c list, but had not considered using the Finns.Do you use the full 6 boendr as 3 Aux or a mix of 4Bd and 3 Aux? After watching a recent set of documentaries on Anglo-Saxon Britain I was thinking of adding Norse Irish allies to add some Aux to the army.This would bring in possibly 2x4Aux plus 1x3Aux or 1x4Aux and 2x3Aux and represent a Viking army around the time of the Battle of Corbridge (914-918AD). |

...i did never try but the idea is to use 3/40c as Wagrian pirates from Schleswig-Holstein against 3/40a Viking...

...i did never try but the idea is to use 3/40c as Wagrian pirates from Schleswig-Holstein against 3/40a Viking... The list does look interesting and I like using 3Aux as have some Griffons to do the terrain work for my Normans.I like the idea of swapping out Bd for Aux in the c list as having fast moving troops combined with low aggression and littorial landing does have exploitable oppertunities, but I don't think I would take all 6 elements as 3Aux. |
