The fellow above is Erik Ulfeygr, Hersir of my first unit of Bondi, The Ulfeygr. He is another old Citadel/Foundry mini, and an absolute favourite. I'm starting to run a little low on these old Citadel Vikings, and they are a joy to paint. Still, I have a few left that need the brush.
You can't really see it from this photo, but Erik has eyes sculpted under the eye-slits of the helmet, and, yes, I did paint them, though I washed them back so they are darker, otherwise he'd look shocked all the time. It's a little Easter egg for anyone that take a REALLY close look at the mini.
He's a lovely but simple enough sculpt, all in all, so I picked out the embroidered trim to the little bit of cloth we see under his mail for some pop. Then a nice big Foundry shield, and done. I have a nice set of earthy tones now for cloth, with a few more vibrant colours for leaders, hearth-guard and such.
More Bondi soon, as Erik needs seven stout followers for his unit, and I think I'll add a banner. One unit in a Saga force can carry a war banner, and it's kind of a must-have.
Sjáumst!
