Children of Odin

[FierceKitty]

First Bondi.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Nice

[FierceKitty]

First Berserkir, Ulfhednar, Shieldmaidens, and wannabe bad boys. Note Ragnar Redbeard, 2nd in command of the entire army.

[FierceKitty]

And the first Huscarls, with Viljar Vandrikkar and the raven banner.

[FierceKitty]

It was a busy and tiring weekend painting....

Looking good, Alexander. 

Well....
I thought you only had two mogs.

Lee's had her "Road to Damascus" moment with cats; I think we'd have ten by now if I didn't (reluctantly) apply the brakes.

[FierceKitty]

Thanks for friendly comments, all. The Kallistra figures are big, and the Pendraken fantasy ones bloody huge, but I think I like the range of sizes, as one who is a head taller than most people he passes in the street.

Asking for trouble, calling a bunch a psycho Norsemen "Cuuute".

Do I know what you mean, Alexander.

Von's still trying to chip my resolve away, regarding having more cats.

An admirable woman, Von, and one for whom I have deep respect.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

But you dont have cats, they just inhabit the same building - occasionally. Vikings burn the place down !!

[FierceKitty]

Actually, a Viking home wasn't considered complete without a basket of kittens. Like most country folk, they appreciated a way of controlling mousies, and like most Scandanavians, valued something warm to cuddle on a cold night (so I'm told - no personal experience).

PAH !

I've still got my 'Ace in the hole' that I know she'd never agree to.

If we have more cats.....I'm demanding MY choice of a pet, first...It's definitely my turn to choose. I want a Taranshula (sic).

Cheers - Phil

Like' em (and you've given me an idea).

The kitties on the bed are forming a pilcrow (upside down from the viewing angle). Is this learned behavior?

[FierceKitty]

Who can fathom the feline mind?

Lee ?

[FierceKitty]

Not entirely complete yet; I want a Leven watchtower at the gate, a thatched building centrally, a few of those new Oirish axemen at the gate too, some dogs guarding the livestock, and an anchor, coil of rope, and a kitty on the deck.

Note the gate is being manned by Harald, son of Njarl, who killed the brother of Egil the berserker who wrote the riddle Why did the raven cross the Atlantic? to the orders of Skarp-Hedin Half-troll, who took to wife Ifredis Gunnarsdottir, sister of the shieldmaiden Halgerd, who slew Ragnar and his brother Ulla at the battle of the Stone Bridge, where the Danes were commanded by Fill Hole-Hand, who later rescued Von the Patient from Mac the Mad Sheep the father of Olga Woolyhead and Erik Bluetooth, uncle-in-law Harald the Short, that wedded Anja, star of Shieldmaidens in the Sauna, now on BlueRay....

Note the remains of the locals who opposed the landing (upstream).
