Norsca Campaign PC and NPCs

Some miniatures painted for my home-made Warhammer FRP (v1) campaign set in Norsca. All are from Reaper Miniatures. 

We have:

- A Hill Giant Hunter with his pet, a Dire Tiger. In my campaign, they will be NPCs the party could meet while travelling across the Frostheim Mountains.

- A Lich. It will be the "end boss" of the next scenario. A very powerful opponent that could cost the PCs some Faith Points.

- A paladin whose name by Reaper Minis is 'Sir Broderick, Crusaders Captain. This miniature will be used to represent a new PC joining the party, a cleric of Ulric wielding a magical two-handed hammer.

I had pleasure painting each of them. The Hill Giant and the Dire Tiger are plastic figures, while the two others are metal.

Svetlana, Frost Giant Princess

I enjoyed painting this wonderful miniature (from Reaper Miniatures). This Frost Giant Princess will be a nice addition to my Norse army. Additionally, she's of the same size as the two other Giants (or Jotuns) I have painted some time ago (here and here, both from the Blood Rage boardgame).

Big Guys

Often hired as mercenaries by several races to fight for them, Giants and Ogres can make the difference on the battlefield.

I painted a Giant (a Satyr Studio's Cloud Giant) that will be aligned with my Orcs and Goblins army and a Jotun (Giant of Norsca) for my Norse army. This one is from the Blood Rage boardgame (I have already painted one some time ago). 

The Ogres can be hired by many different armies. Three of them are classical Jes Goodwin sculpts and the standard bearer is a Marauder mini. The two other (the paymaster and his bodyguard) are from Red Bard Games.

Fury of the North!... and a Jotun

Howling, foaming with rage, shield-biting badasses of the Norse ost: the Berserkers!

These guys come from various manufacturers: Citadel, Foundry, Hasslefree, Bronze Age Miniatures and Red Box Games. The boss is huge, but Norse could be very tall. Let's say is above 2 m. 😁

Mercenary Giant

Some armies can hire the services of Giants for battles. These fearsome creatures can destroy many opponents before being killed themselves. But hiring one of them can be a risky bet... because of their alcoholism.

I didn't own any Giant (except the two plastic ones from the Blood Rage game, but they would better fit in a Norse army). I found an interesting mini from Knightmare Miniatures: a two-headed Ettin measuring 7 cm high (enough to be considered as a Giant).
