Terrible pun intend
Yeah, Gates of Valhalla really is. I haven't started the characters yet but looking through the rules the development paths look very well thought out. I love a dungeon crawler. Also, because you're so dependent on melee I suspect it's going to feel a lot more lethal - Forbidden Fortress (Feudal Japanese fantasy) has this to an extent but there's at least some ranged options, in Gates it's just the one archer character and no support (no ashigaru riflemen in Valhalla!) At least in the Old West version you're blasting away till you get overrun. Plus, the whole game has a great Frostgrave vibe.

Thanks! I decided not to use flesh colours but blend pinks instead and I think it really pops.
In the meantime, I took a wee break from Valhalla to start the
other Adventures set, Valley of the Serpent Kings:
The Croxin! a fearsome beast indeed.
Had quite a lot of fun with this, adding the wee cowboy hat to the base, playing with glue for drool, and so on.
Meanwhile, have started turning a viking warrior into a Draugr for the monthly contest and will then get onto the big guys. I'll likely hold off on my Alliance team for BB for next month's Footslogger contest as my Clone Troopers haven't turned up yet. Tragic, I know.
