Actually, should say fantasy Dark Ages because the idea of shield maidens is pretty much fantasy with no real evidence to support it. |

You are right but I only print them the designer takes the historical license. But thank you for your comment. All are good :) |

I quite like the Vendel era Norse. I think the (Vendel era Norse) are also available in metal from the designer at Medbury miniatures on Facebook. My Just Add Water Miniature Painting Blog:

@Grattan54 So you don't think much of the new scholarship claiming that shield maidens were real? What are your objections, if I may ask? |

"Shieldmaidens" likely fantasy. Women warriors likely reality. The problem for designers is that a woman in armor and a man in armor can look much the same. Especially at miniature scale. |

Can't argue with history but what the heck :) |
