I found the following Kickstarter that I think some others here would find interesting:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/404694339/northmen

There are a number of sets of Viking men and women warriors along with a Troll. Importantly, they are 32mm scale (not 25/28mm like all the plastic vikings on the market). I think they are from the guy that runs/sculpts for Bronze Age Minis. Either way, there are some great poses, and they are reasonably priced at $6 USD a pop.

Update 3/17/2018
New Dwarf Trolls add-on!

I hear you man. I have way too many miniatures and rarely get to play games, but man, I'm so happy to get vikings that will scale with all my fantasy stuff! I fully intend on buying too many.

Wow, those look great!

These are really nice. I especially like the joten-troll.

I'll just add to the pile for my painters - lots of good poses here.

Where the trolls at?

Here they are!

In the latest update he said more trolls were coming!

This is now funded with the first stretch add on unlocked:
Thorfin:


Next up at 10K is the first freebie stretch the lovely Helka the Seer (free to all $30 and up pledges!)

Now some Nordic style Trolls! Get all three for only $24! They have ball and socket joints so all the parts can be switched around.











Also, some female dwarves were added as add-ons:

Great stuff - bit much to buy en-mass, but I hope to be able to pick out a few single figures at some point. I love the way you've based the Trolls and Dwarves on Norse Mythology rather than standard fantasy tropes.

I'm glad you like them, but to be clear this isn't my KS, it is David Soderquist's of Bronze Age Miniatures. I'm just a huge fan of this KS because it basically checks off a number of wishlist items for me:

1) Viking/Norse themed guys scaled to fit in with fantasy miniatures? Check
2) Norse trolls? Check
3) Realistic female dark age warriors? Check
4) Characterful sculpts and poses? Check
5) Delivery in months, not years? Check

I seriously can't get over how great of a pose this lady is in:


That is the best "creepin' up on ya" pose I've ever seen.

And this guy:

Dynamic, realistic, I just love it.

Those trolls in particular are really nice!

The first freebie is unlocked!!
Helka is added to every pledge of $30 or over!



At the $30 level you are getting 6 metal miniatures for $5 a piece! Which is a great deal.

I wish I could afford the whole lot and all the add-ons!

this is me throwing a hissy fit that they are not LOTR scale

Aww man, you can't be too upset! Lotr scale gets all of the frostgrave plastic kits, the oathmark plastic kits, and all the historical plastic kits to have fun with!

You gotta throw a bone to those of us that like larger figures every once in a while! What about using them as some Kelt Sessairs in Confrontation?

I mean, yeah, you literally have every single historical Dark Ages range to choose from for Viking models, these are literally the only ones I know of that fit the more heroic "fantasy" scale lines.
