One wee bugbear for me are shields that do not have a hide covering & are just painted boards. A shield is going to get smashed in quick time without a covering of hide - I'm sure re-enactors could confirm this.
All the best,

Shieldmaidens!
These figures were part of the group of Vikings that I painted several weeks ago HERE , but I didn't get them finished in time for that post. The miniatures are from Stronghold Terrain, HERE:

Nice ladies Jack. Very good paint work.
