********************************

Let's go back to the beginning and discuss the Tarn Vikings sculpts.

Worth mentioning - A 'Scaper explained how the green and white vikings have the same lower half and the blue and red viking share the same lower sculpt too. Interesting.

So which Tarn Viking is your favorite?

It's gotta be the red one for me. He's got the most dynamic pose, plus the horns on the helmet. It's a good shade of red, too. The only downside I see to him is that his spear is kinda weak.

Green = . He's got an action-packed pose.
The white viking is great too, but I tend to grab him by the that sword tip and it just doesn't feel correct. I want to spin him like a top!

The green viking has a good pose for grabbing while moving him on the map. It may be a trivial prerequisite, but a gaming miniature not only has to look good, but feel good in your hand too, huh!

Agreed.

Personally I like them all.

I like the blue one the best. His sculpt just looks so epic, like he's about to lay the smackdown on somebody.

I went with the Red one. He's Sven, right?

I voted for the Captain America Tarn. Blue with winged helmet. I like swords better than spears.

He's got the sweet sword and the Captain America helmet wings going for him, I'll say that much. Blue guy is a close second, but Sven is still my favorite.

EDIT: Wow, Ugly-Caco just said pretty much everything I did, while I was saying it. That can be worth some +rep in my book.

I dislike the blue one, because new players always get him confused with Thorgrim. "Look for the guy with the winged helmet and a sword.... No, the other one."

Akralons review on the Blue Viking made me almost not vote for him(If you look at him, he almost looks stupid, doesn't he?), but he was my original favorite and I'll stick to him.

Totally forgot we have GaryLASQ's essential fan site to utilize for spinners! Added them to the first post!

I think it has more to do with that hypno-shield the blue viking carries.

The green viking. I love his shield and the position of his sword.
