Viking Bondi - 28mm Scale Plastic Miniatures for Hail Caesar Highly Detailed Dark Age Era Miniatures for Table-top Wargaming

These 28 mm miniatures are very detailed.

These are the first hobby minis I have purchased that are not from Games Workshop. I have to say, I am impressed! Now, I didn’t buy them to play Hail Caesar, but to make a few Frostgrave war bands, and I think they will do nicely for that. First off, the amount of models you get for the price is amazing! I’m used to getting ten or less for much more $$. You get 3 different sets of arms per figure plus 8 pairs of two handed weapon arms. Twelve different head options(48 total!) and you get a good range of weapons with swords, shields, axes, spears and pikes. Now you do have to glue the weapons to their hands, which is different for me, but it’s cool that you can really customize how they are even carrying their weapons. The sculpting is really top notch. The heads have an incredible amount of detail for something so small. I’m going to have my work cut out for me painting all these beards! Overall, this is a pretty darn great set. The only reason I’m not giving it a 5 star rating is that it doesn’t come with bases. I mean, these are produced for a war game so it would stand to reason that they would come with wargame bases. But they do not. And it does say so on the box, but I did not see that on the picture here on amazon. I can make some decent bases for them or just buy some, so it’s not huge. Either way, if you want some Vikings on your table top, These models will serve you well.

These models are nice, and very well packaged. I can't give more than 3 stars because after looking at the models and close examination It became clear to me that the manufacturer's front mold plate is wearing out. Let me explain. The models details are crisp and clean on their back side, every detail is crisp and to my eyes perfect, the front side however is well dull. The details are soft in good areas and non existant in others, thats how I noticed it actually. The straps on the boots are so crisp on the back, but the fronts are dull-nonexistant. For the price I guess they're ok. Certainly not GW quality. If they were though they would be 5$ per man rather than 1$ per man
