Viking tablut

I saw this set of Viking-style pieces for a 9 x 9 hnefatafl version on eBay, and because they are quite different from any other hnefatafl set I have in my collection, I got it.


And it just so happened that I still had a vinyl 9 x 9 board, which I was given as extra when I ordered my 5-in-1 set


Board and pieces will go well together!

I decided to partly paint the pieces, using steel, silver, copper, brass, gold enamel paint.


The weapons and armour of the attackers was painted steel and silver ....


.... weapons and armour of the defenders was painted copper and brass, and of the king gold and copper.


Pieces fit on the board quite snugly:
