Ulf is Going Viking!

Finally! The first member of Sigurdr Krage's band of raiders (and my second painted Dark Ages mini) is finished, ready for some pillaging!

Ulf:
Eager to earn his 'horns', Ulf has joined Sigurdr's crew expecting adventure and loot, so he can afford marrying Gunhild (little does he know, Gunhild plans to become a shieldmaiden, and seek fame and fortune of her own).

The reason it took me so long to get him done is, that when I painted the grey tunic, I simply could not get the shading/hightligts to work, and I set him aside while working on other stuff.

Finally, I decided to siply apply a black wash to tie the gray layers together, and although it is not perfect, it is now passable, I think.
