Very nice. Did you scratch build the boats or buy them?

Boats and slave houses have been  bough. Houses from Timecast. I don't remember for the Drakkars but I can get the information back if you need it.
Everything else is scratchbuilt.

Lovely. If you could let me know the source for the boats I would be grateful. I have a large Chaos army and some boats would look good for raiding games!

Absolutely stunning, the attention to detail warms my black heart.

I too would appreciate the source of the long ships, as I game Age of Blood and Battlelust in 10 mm.

The drakkar we used:
1/180 Smer Models Drakkar Oseberg Viking longship


Actually this a rather bad model for several reason:
1/ Plastic is really cheap (fragile)
2/ The model is not historically accurate
3/ The model assembly is really a pain
4/ The ship sailing is engraved with a very ugly sea monster; I had to fill it with green-stuff and re-sculpt the sailing to something nicer.

Still, this is the ONLY 10mm drakkar available and it scales perfectly to Warmaster...

Looks brilliant, i love all the terrain and the ships  ;D

I even like those little red sticks you use for movement. Here's me using a tape measure, i think i might myself an infantry and a cavalry movement stick. Great idea
