Victrix Limited summons the fury of the Norsemen with this 28mm scale plastic box set of 60 Vikings. Precision-molded in high-detail gray polystyrene, this core release from the Warriors of the Dark Ages collection captures the raiding prowess, martial gear, and grim determination of Scandinavian warriors from the late 8th century through the 11th century. Designed for historical tabletop wargamers, miniature painters, and diorama creators, this kit provides a complete army-in-a-box, enabling you to field formidable shield walls, veteran Hirdmen, savage berserkers clad in bearskin pelts, and bondi spearmen across the coasts of Britain, Ireland, Frankia, and the Baltic. Engineered across 8 high-density frames, this boxed set supplies 60 highly detailed infantry figures paired with an astonishing array of modular components. The kit is organized into 12 chainmail-clad command figures and 48 warrior figures spanning 24 armored warriors in mail hauberks, 18 unarmored warriors in tunics, and 6 warriors in quilted padded armor. An expansive armory offers 330 total arm options—including single-handed bearded axes, massive two-handed Dane axes, swords, thrusting spears, war horns, and standard poles—paired with 122 fierce character head options and 60 round shields in two distinct sizes. Fully supported by shield transfers and banner sheets from LittleBigMenStudios, this set stands as the definitive foundation for Dark Age raiding parties and epic historical sagas.
