Sven Eriksen and the Golden Temple of the Norns - part 2 (of 2)

Sven Eriksen's viking warriors after clearing the village encountered more resistance from the temple warriors blocking their way on a rocky outcrop .... (see previous post)

 ---oXo---
 Sven draws up his men facing the rocky outcrop and sends some men to see if they can get through the woods to the left
The vikings have found their way through the wood and the temple warriors seeing themselves outflanked start to fall back; the vikings who got through the wood head for the Golden Temple.
 The temple warriors fall back to a rocky hilltop to make a stand there as the vikings continue their deliberate advance....
 The vikings move across the causeway to the temple, when the others confront the temple warriors ...
 The defenders of  the temple island get ready for the fight .....
 The defenders hold the far causeway but the vikings have broken through on the right....
 The defenders are hard pressed on the other two causeways, now being attacked in the rear as well ..
 The defenders go down fighting, the vikings mop up ....
 The temple warriors are surrounded on the rocky hilltop,  the vikings keep them penned in ....
 Sven Eriksen reaches the island, his men are trying to locate all the treasure and are threatening the temple priest...
 They have the temple treasure chest, Sven orders one of his men to use his axe and knock off the head of the gryphon statue - Sven reaches inside and pulls out a scroll - this is the second of the clues to the location of the 'Whorled Cup' .....

 ---oXo---

Sven and his men leave the temple and withdraw back to their ships picking up some more booty from the village on the way (the temple warriors let them pass - they have no stomach for any more fighting)...

Where will Sven and his men have to go to find the next clue to the location of the 'Whorled Cup' ?

Sven Eriksen and the Golden Temple of the Norns - part 1

Sven Eriksen moves towards Golden Temple of the Norns, continuing his quest for the clues to the location of the 'Whorled Cup'....
---oXo---

The lookout on the rocky outcrop spots the vikings approaching  the village ...
 The vikings work their way slowly down the hill, seemingly in no hurry ....
 The lookout continues to sound the alarm, men are roused from the great hall and are coming outside ...
 All is quiet at the Golden Temple of the Norns...
 The vikings near the outskirts of the village
 meanwhile warriors assemble outside of the great hall..
 the vikings move slowly into the village and encounter resistance
 the warriors move forwards to take position on the rocky outcrop ....
 fighting continues in the village....
 the villagers appear to be doing well ...
 but not for long, they are outnumbered and outflanked and start to fall back to the rocky outcrop to join the warriors from the great hall....
 A viking beserker rushes the rocks, he is cut down by a mighty axe blow .....
Sven Eriksen pauses his men and sizes up the situation ....

to be continued .....

Noggin characters - WIP

I've been fiddling with a few figures for a while to model as close as I can the main characters from Noggin the Nog. Some shots below of the figures so far with green stuff additions.

Firstly Nooka, Noggin the Nog and a rather oversize Graculus (must have been eating a lot of birdseed !)
 Two palace guards with Thor Nogson in the centre
 Finally Nogbad the Bad

Some tidying up to do and then add horns to the helmets of a couple of figures. Then they can be painted.

The orginal inspiration below from left to right: Thor Nogson, Graculus, Nogbad the Bad, Prince Knut, Noggin the Nog and Nooka.
