Strelets M004 1/72 Dark Ages Vikings

The Vikings may usually be pictured today swooping down on an unsuspecting settlement, raping and pillaging as they went, but when they found themselves faced with a full battle their favourite tactic was the skjaldborg, or shield wall. It seems this would normally entail several ranks of men closely packed with shields overlapping, at least initially, to show an unbroken wooden wall to the enemy in the hope that they could overwhelm them. This and the similar swine array formation are what the designer had in mind when this set of figures was produced.
