Description: Darklands - Ingjald Ill-Ruler, Kónungr of the Skilfings on Hrossíthír Summary: One unpainted miniature for Darklands.Darklands is a wargame set in a fantasy world not too different from our own. Beginning in the year AD 650, Darklands will combine various fantastical and historical elements found in northwest Europe in the so-called 'Dark Ages' in a wargame that will be intuitive, fresh and interesting. Much of its setting will be known to fantasy wargamers everywhere, and thus be very easily accessible. It also has the biggest gribblies you'll see in any 30mm wargame! From the bleak lands of the painted to the soft coasts of the south, from the icy shores of Thule to the windswept beaches of Frankia, the Norsemenn are reviled in the darklands as murderers of women and children, pillagers and slavers without mercy, wild and savage killers that destroy almost everything they touch and take the rest for themselves. The fury of the northmen sweeps all before them, and yet the Norse, the Skilfing kingdom in particular, are not so barbaric - nor so different from other humans - as many would choose to believe. To live upon the cold edges of the world where the soil is poor, with the incalculable threat of gods and jötnar in the mountains around them, who is to say other men would not take to the seas to plunder and raid to feed their children? To the Norse, the weak are nothing, for their realm has taught them that only the strong and the ruthless survive, and their victims that see clearly understand that one day the strawhairs will not merely raid their coasts; they will surely take them and the lands beyond.The Norse clans of the Skilfingar are many and varied and stretch from Svealand in the east to Norrland in the west, and even parts of Daneland; but all their petty kings pay tribute to Ingjald the warrior-king, the ill-adviser, the Dane-killer who vowed to enlarge his kingdom by half towards all the four quarters - or die in the attempt. So it is that the longshipmen take to the seas from all corners of Svealand and Norrland, to bring wealth and tribute and slaves to their King. So it is that Ingjald seeks alliance with those of Jötunheimr, the once-enemies of Midgard, for their power and strength. So it is that he invokes the names of the Æsir for their aid in their conquests - for the Skilfingar will have their king's oaths fulfilled.The superb Mierce in-house sculptor Bob Płociennik used concept artist Carlos Amaral's artwork of Ingjald to produce a simply fantastic miniature that has a number of different features; Ingjald himself is bedecked by raven symbology, as befits the king of the Skilfings.. Standing on a 100mm base and over 120mm tall to the top of his wings, the Hrossíthír really is an awesome miniature!Note: Set includes a head without harness so that the hippogriff can be used without the rider.Norse king with axe and shield on hippogriff.
