Whether you are sailing a sea of ice, discovering new land or getting ready to raid an unsuspecting village, the vikings are always ready for a fight.

The archers shot arrow after arrow, raining misery and death across the sea, then it came to them in equal measure. Wood creaked and splintered, and the entire boat groaned as the ships crashed against each other. Rocked and unsteady on his feet, Ivor was the first who fell into the cold water, never to be seen again. When the men found their balance some began jumping across and boarding the enemy, axes out. Others stood where they were, poking across the threshold with long spears or throwing them across. The sea turned red.

In this pack you will find semi-historically accurate VIKINGS as well as useful tokens such as:

Warriors. Armed with, swords, spears, bows and axes. 4 Archers, 8 Long weapon fighters, 19 axemen, 10 swordsmen
Arms. The weapons of the Vikings. 17 shields, a bow and arrow, 3 dane axes, 5 battle axes, 2 fantasy axes, a spear and a sword.
Heroes. Several fantasy inspired characters.
Encounter Maps. Two Viking longships as well as a map of icy waters to create encounters on.
Map markers. Viking ships in profile to mark where a raiding party is travelling to on an overland map.

These tokens mainly depict my own version of the Jomsvikings which is what my reenactment group is based on as well as some more “generic” vikings.
The Jomsvikings weren't regular viking raiders, they were a professional army of skilled fighters who served any lord who could pay their very high price. They also had a set of rules which were enforced by members as a code of honor when conducting the bloody business of war. Their history is quite interesting and complicated.
So the question is. "Who is this token pack for? Well, it's for me. It's for me and for anyone who wants to inject some relatively “historically accurate” viking action into their games. These guys make for perfect bandits, raiders or even mercenaries to help or hinder your characters in your game. Combine the tokens in this set with any of my other token sets and create your saga!
