jp wargaming place

This a wargaming place were you can see a growing collection of miniatures and terrain of many historical periods in 20mm (but also a few 10mm,15mm and 28mm) started when I was 10 yo. At the moment it has several tens of thousands of miniatures from foot figures to Destroyers. Occasionally there are some war movie critics and some travel to military sites. My family considers it the best wargaming site in the World even if it is the only one they know. More on @joaopeixoto5249 YouTube Channel.

Hastings 1066 - The Saxon Lithsmen in 20mm for Impetus rules

The Saxon line at Hastings had Nordic mercenary -Lithsman- also. I imagine them with Viking looks which favours the beginning of a Viking army for the previous battle, Stamford Bridge and many others.

I gave them a Nordic look with plenty of axes and blond hair. All figures with the Gjermundbu helmet were concentrated in these stands as this helmet is typically Nordic and a trademark of Viking equipment. Some of the figures got a spear instead of a sword as Revell (and before Elastolin, which are copied in the Revell box) exaggerated the number of swords.
