Maggot Breed of Ymir II

From the fallen body of the giant Ymir, the maggots formed the svart alfr. Citadel's miniatures from yesteryear provide a wonderful representation of these little critters and Alan Garner's books a fantastic story setting for them. I have created a warband ready for SoBH and general fantasy RPG gaming. First up are the command figures, a wizardly type and a leader...


This is a netter. I had to put him onto a large washer to fit the net on, but I think it works OK...


Here are three of the warrior svarts, ready to cave in the skulls of any human silly enough to venture out onto Alderley Edge in the darkness of night...


Two more of the little blighters...


Another of those weird happenings with the camera - all the other pictures are in focus, but one with all settings etc exactly the same goes a bit awry...


Finally, a picture of all ten of them together as a warband...


These will work as either very small 28mm goblin types or as 15mm goblins.

Next up should be some Romano-British command to use in Brytenwalda. They just need a few finishing touches and then a final spray of the old matt varnish.

  2. Hi Geordie. Your comment made me think - it makes a change for the Norsemen to be raided than to be doing the raiding themselves.
