Figure Compatibility

[Jack Startin]

Hi,
I'm looking for some Viking figures (as an ally) to go with my Rus army that is made up of Two Dragons figures.  Can anyone suggest a manufacturer whose figures would be compatible with 2 Dragons figs, height-wise & build-wise please.  Thx.

Closest to the "chunky" style might be Splintered Light Minis?

Phil Steele had an article in Slingshot on Vikings in the last year or two. He made an army composed of various figures and compared manufacturers, IIRC.  I'll see if I can find it.

I remember that Aaron. Comparisons of figures and figure scales in slingshot would be of interest in general I think

Here's his online companion post: http://soawargamesteam.blogspot.com/2014/12/dba-special-iii40b-norse-viking.html

Unfortunately for Jack, Phil doesn't seem to have used any Two Dragons figures.

Phil's article is in Slingshot 301, BTW

thanks Aaron

I suppose you've considered Two Dragons' own Vikings? Caliver/Minifigs offer them these days - here

Thx for the responses.

Hadn't considered Splintered Light - so will look at them.

I have considered Two Dragons Vikes, & will use some, but I don't like some of the poses so I wanted, if possible, to supplement from other ranges.

I do get Slingshot - not sure if I will be able find #301 though!

Thx again for the replies.

Take a look at madaxeman.com.  There are a lot of figure reviews and general range comparison information.
