RAFM appear to be doing sets of Vikings aimed at Saga players. link Are these new castings of old figures? Are they typically 25mm scale rather than modern 28mm?

RAFM had a line of Viking-esque barbarians. I've used some of them with my Foundry/Old Glory/Gripping Beast Vikings, and they mix in well enough. These don't look like the same figures. Some of them could be the barbarians reworked and re-equipped, though I'm not really sure. Grelber

link Afaik, I do have the monk and dog in that set (lower left) for perhaps 20 years… I would be surprised if the other models are new sculpts.

The third figure in the bottom row (with his9 arms up) is their old "Wind wizard" (or some such – came with a wind elemental; there was a set of four Wind, Fire, Water & Earth, each with an elemental companion in the blister). I've had one for years.

Aside from that, the authenticity varies from 'sort-of-OK' to 'melt it down.' Ah! 'Tribe of the Midnight Sun' listings from 2007 (although they are older) link

SAGA is hot again. My husband is making a Norman warband. Maybe he will stop buying blood bowl figures…

So…they are RAFM 25mm??

Yes, a bit big for Ralpartha and a bit small for Citadel.
