So I don't have much to go off of, but I am hoping someone can help me find this game/miniatures. I remember first seeing it in the early to mid 2000s. I was a primarily a dark fantasy-esque theme of Viking and Celt looking characters. From what I remember the figures remind me of this: http://red-box-games.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13

Was Warhammer so radically different in the early 2000's that it was a Viking-Celt looking game?
Godslayer? That's late 2000's, though.

No, it seemed to be little known and have about skirmish sized forces. I keep searching for it but if I type anything remotely close to fantasy dark ages then the game Dark Age comes up.

The models are still available from Brigade Games, along with PDFs of the rules.
Some nice Kev White sculpts from before his falling out with I-Kore.

I think I-kore had masterfully managed to make everybody fall out with them.
I remember they send a massive package to one of my local shops without them ordering anything from them as a "sample" and then demanding payment for it.

Know I got Celtos too from the description...
It would make a fun game if we all tried to see if we could suggest a game and see who could guess it with the fewest words.
Such as... I'm thinking of an old wargame, I know there were shoulder pads...

Definitely Chronopia. Tons of big shoulderpads in the human faction, which I always loved the models for (the humans, I mean).

Irish? Irish 
Scottish (originally from Fantasy Forge, some of whom ended up working for Target Games on Warzone and then founded I-Kore and Urban Mammoth), I'll have you know.
The models are still available from Scotia Grendel.

Bing Bing bing!
We have a winner!
Kryomek it is.
This one made me chuckle. The clue for Battletech could have been "no Aliens"
Yep, and the sculpts are actually pretty good. I owned a bunch of the figures for a while but sold them on when I realized I didn't have time to own them. The rules have got some cool fluff and pics but the actual mechanics were impossible for me to get my head around.

I thought it was Scottish? Fantasy Forge (whose product it was) was Scottish, anyway. According to John Robertson it was, too (he sculpted a few of the pieces).
I've got a stack of Kryomek stuff still. Ordering some replacement striders (walkers) that were lost in the distant past somewhere, shortly, too.
