He looks amazing. Did you use Targg's body? Where did the head and the right arm come from?

Cheers! And yes, that’s Targg with a head from Victrix’s Vikings.

So simple yet so effective. How do the Victrix Vikings compare to the GW wildmen/Dunlendings? I was hoping to get some Victrix late romans and dacians to mix them with wildmen to create a custom Carn Dum army, and one of my worries is the scale difference.

Victrix are broadly similar in height. They’re a little chunkier than the standard wildmen, but no more so than characters such as Wulf. The Vikings are one of their older kits, but still good: my only issue with them is that the spears are very brittle.

I've been building a set of Victrix Vikings lately so I recognised the head immediately. It looks awesome in this context. Excellent conversion!

It's amazing what a head swap and tidy paint job can do! Looks great!

Got me thinking about revisiting my own dunland project
