Vikings: Berserkers

More info about the game and this project in his hub: Viking Mega Game 

A bunch of beserkers for my Viking Mega Game run at school. The berserkers are supposed to be some elite and rare troops. In the game the student teams had to build a huge temple before they could train berserkers.

The also needed the ressources:  Simple Weapons, Fur and Mead. 

Ressources are awarded by teachers, when students finish tasks, do good team work or similar. So it's instant motivation and rewards. They can also claim ressources from controling areas on the game board. Changes ressources into something else, if they have workshops, thralls, workers and farmers. 

I printed out and laminated a ton of ressource tokens, so there's much different for the teams to work for. It also encourages trading between the teams. 

  

In the victrix box there's some good bits to make beserkers, but not enough for all 6 teams. So I split up the various bits and then used greenstuff to maximize the bear pelts. Beserkers ought to have been nude, but I didn't have correct bodies. Also I gave them all two axes, to make them distinct from the huscarls with dane axes. Not going for full historical accuracy hear. 

Happy with the result.  I might consider, for berserkes in a future re-run, to invest in a bunch of Wargames Atlan

Here's the painted berserkers. 

Here's the finished green hird. I had a lot of different green paints in the collection, so there's many different tones of green on this team. As with all hirds, all the shield designs are different as well. Free variety in the army.
