Season 3 of The Last Kingdom really has taken the series to a new level and it has inspired me to paint up a retinue for Uhtred. I have many Dark Ages/Viking types but don't have an Uhtred figure that blows me away. Does anyone have some ideas for Uhtred in 28mm? I'm also looking for an Aethelflaed figure. I know Gripping Beast makes an A but I find her a bit too historical and bland looking. I'm looking for something slightly more heroic which is a hard line to walk in female warrior miniatures as I want to avoid the chainmail/fur bikini types. |

How about a Skade figure? |

Have you seen Bad Squiddo games? Lots of historically inspired women warriors: link Including a version of Aethelflaed:

Watch for the hairstyle changes from season to season. By the time my Viking army with Bjorn and Ragnar made it to the table Bjorn had gone from shaven and short hair to a beard and long ponytail so nothing like my painted figure, Ragnar was dead (spoiler alert….to late..) and the show jumped the shark with season 4. Last Kingdom on the other hand had a very good season 3 so I hope you find your Utred of Bebbbbbinbur. Have a look at Stronghold Miniatures out of Germany, they did the figures for Vikings. |

3rd season? I assume this isn't on the BBC this time. |

Season three is the best so far. Some great acting, and Uhtred is not so whiney…. |

That's the Aethelflaed Grippiing Beast, the figure doesn't inspire me all that much. Thanks for the tip on the Guinevere, that is perfect, exactly what I was looking for. There are actually a lot of options for Skade (as in crazy seer type). Reaper has several figures that would work depending on how you want to go as does Dark Sword Miniatures from the Elmore Masterworks line. Uhtred is really tough. Last Kingdom follows the Hollywood style perfected by Game of Thrones and Vikings in not giving any of its characters helmets so that tosses out a bunch of figures. Uhtred doesn't have a beard so that tosses a whole other batch of figures. And Uhtred doesn't wear a cloak so…it is actually painfully difficult to find a 28mm version of him. |

The only thing I can think of when anyone mentions 'The Last Kingdom' is: YouTube link |

In the books, which are much better than the series, Uhtred would not dream of going into battle without a helmet. I reality no dark age warrior who could afford one would do without one. |
