Howard...
the MM Berserker was my first Viking also...
I now have 7 with the newest one ordered...
John is making great figures at a good price...
I'm collecting all and only hope the grouping will eventually be somewhat as large as the Anglo Saxon series...
I love all the different faces...
he has really captured what I was hoping for...

Very impressive Howard. As you would know, I have a real passion for Vikings and that display of yours is one of the best things i've seen for quite a while. At first glance some of the figures are foreign to me but i'm sure i will be able to recognize them. Thanks for the message and looks like you have started off the new year well. Regards Greg.
I agree with you, i came a little late to the Viking and Saxon ranges, bought my first 3 Vikings and 3 Saxons in Dec and have just ordered the new Viking and 3 more Saxons. I am looking at the Saxons and Viking era diorama and i agree with you they will look excellent as a larger grouping as well as small groups and as individual figures they look incredible. Will we get a Uhtred of Bebbanburg figure?
I take it, there is general consensus that SX-10
from the December releases is a Uthred of Bebbanburg figure!

Great collection and photos. I think JJD Saxons and Vikings are the best on the market

Howard;
I am impressed and envious...quite a collection of some of the best.
Thank you for posting.
Thanks a lot for the info, just looked at the figure and can see why, he does look like the TV character], I read the last book in the series in 2020, within 48 hours of its release, great series of books, pity it ended but at least we have a new Sharpe book in 2021.
As i said i came late to this series and i am not up to date on the range, I have read a lot about the period and had the opportunity to stand in or close to the battle sites, including Lindisfarne, Stamford Bridge [which is a relatively newer bridge but right location] and Brunanburh [admittedly there is a dispute but the site i visited was on the Wirral]. My decision to collect came late as i decided to stop collecting certain other [non-JJ] ranges and move my collection back to ranges where there were more toy soldiers rather than vehicles. Plus this is an outstanding range.
