My crew is stumped. Does anyone know what it is? The figure is a Black Tree Design Viking Elder. Is it a wooden staff? A metal bar? A rune stick of power? Should it be painted like wood or metal? Or should I just drill it out and replace it with an axe?

When I read the header I imagined what it might be and actually said 'Please No!' before I looked.

Now that I have seen the image I can only guess that it is a bangalore.

A cooking spit perhaps.

He's a viking and he's clearly got a cob on so I would just leave him alone, don't make eye contact whatever you do!

Another vote for a Bangalore.

It looks more like a bazooka without the firing mechanism. Possibly a nordic LAW of some type?

Clearly part of the plumbing in a posh Saxon house he was looting.

His intention is to take it home to Norway & install it in his home. Unfortunately he doesn't realise that it needs a mains water supply to work.

Wargamer Blue beat me to it.

Lee Brilleaux Fezian04 Jul 2013 6:18 a.m. PST

He doesn't know what it is, either. That's why he's waving it around and demanding to know which untidy ^%$# left it in his living room.

Could be a caber & he's a v-e-r-y big viking.

It's the bit of his exhaust that the pikeys left behind when they nicked his cat….

nevinsrip04 Jul 2013 11:46 a.m. PST

An ugly stick. Used to beat Viking women.

MajorB04 Jul 2013 1:23 p.m. PST

It's a blowpipe. A B-I-G blowpipe …

I think he is the inventor of the double-headed nail.


It may be a precursor of the Norumph for those that could not afford a Triton.

Looks like a pipe to me.
Could be wooden or metal.

IKEA table leg. He's back at the returns department, bellowing incoherently.
