Viking Bondi were called into service at times of crisis by their chieftain. They wore padded leather jerkins and carried long ash thrusting spears and a wooden shield. They were support troops, used to assist the professional warriors like the Huscarls or Mercenaries. Normally these men were small farmers that owed feudal service to the Chief or Jarl.

These would not normally be sent on raiding parties, but were used for conflicts between Jarls or defending against retaliations by hostile neighbours.

Usually you should have enough metal in a single ingot of metal to cast about 4 of these figures. Due to their fully rounded nature, they use more metal than the typical semi-flat figures we normally supply.

If you have not already acquired casting accessories then your best option is to buy a Viking Starter Kit and some surplus metal so you can have some fun.
