It's loosely based on The Saga of the Volsungs, and not too shabby a production, either. Get the German edition Die Nibelungen - Der Fluch des Drachen, as it's uncut, and already in English.  Kristanna Loken

Just to say that I haven't forgotten this project - but its a little way down the list. I may well have a change from moderns for a while over christmas and get some more of these bits painted. I also found this range which looks perfest for what I had in mind: http://www.heroesofthedarkage.com/ |

At a pound each for 25mm isn't too bad at all... |

Sent them an email about p&p costs to the U.S. If I get an answer it'll be posted here. |

And they're willing to ship to the U.S., with postage based on weight. I'll be setting up an order later.

A bit more insperation; this time from the excellent John Howe http://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/gallery/categories.php?cat_id=93 -> Illustrations from his Beowulf book (I actually have the book, and it is highly recommended for the artwork alone!) http://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/gallery/details.php?image_id=163 -> Beowulf's last battle, from a different book |

And some good portrayals of frost giants (might try using 54mm vikings to make some if I cant get any cheap on eBay):    |

And because I still haven't quite worked out what my next gaming 'period' is going to be (probably Africa... but it *might* be Sagas yet. Those new Gripping Beast releases do look sooooooooooo tempting. But then again, If I do Africans, I'll actually clear a drawer in my wardrobe! lol!) I thought I'd start painting these chaps up inbetween the Mercs & Militia: A ltd Ed Foundry Viking (Who bears a pretty good resembalance to Odin, but I think I'll wait and get some of the Bronze Age mini's 40mm Norse Gods before I do any more of them) and a Lt Ed Saxon Raider (Warlord show 30th anniversay mini? Scuplted by Paul Hicks). The Saxon may well become a named character in my long planned (and probably never going to be played!) 'Cerdic's Saga' campaign |

Looking good. Nice idea about the Ice giants. Any ideas where you will get them? |

This may be of interest: http://www.wargamesfactory.com/AnnouncementRetrieve.aspx?ID=32100 Saw it on The Miniatures Page http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=196314 Liked the modeling suggestions for the Revell Viking Ship. |

Thanks for that Al - I've actually got my mitts on two Monogram 1/60th Drakar that I was planning to use for my vikings; so the article abouthte Revell vikingboat will be particularly useful! |

A mate of mine is in one of these Viking Re-enactment groups. Personally I think its just an excuse to run about with a battle axe....of course some of dont need a reason. |

I look at it as less a reason for you to run around with an Axe... more as a reason for the police not to lock up for doing so! lol! |

  Jarl Ragnar (said to be descended from mighty Oden himself, although others have also called him half-troll! Either way he is a giant of a man - A great warrior, and a just lord) and A Saxon Warrior, Cerdic, who's tale the 3 norns have only just begun to spin... |
