[ENG/PL] What is it you wish to ask the gods? / O co chcesz prosić bogów? (Gripping Beast Saga Pagan Priest)

Image
"Ragnar, I have heard many of your stories, but tell me, what is Ragnarök? I have heard mention of it several times, but so far no one has explained the meaning to me."
Ragnar -"Let's show this ignorant Christian what Ragnarök is." Vikings. Season 1 Episode 6
Hello everyone. An the DwarfCrypt fan page on FB I mentioned a shipment from Gripping Beast. Today I invite you to the first entry devoted to the received batch of figurines, including ... a model of the nordic priest, and the seer. This mysterious group of soothsayers, and above all the hangers in the Viking age, I will devote this entry.

          The soothsayer / seer, in Old Norse and Old Icelandic is Völva. She had the gift of seeing the past and the future, as well as interpreting the events of the present. She wielded Völ - magic wand, and Völva- the woman wielding a magic wand, was said to be speaking.
Hangout characters appear in Eddas, but also in many Sagas. They have become an indispensable element…

Na bazie rozpędu z drużyną Middenheimu, postanowiłem stworzyć i pomalować trzech młodszych wojowników. Posłużą mi do tego figurki Jomsvikingów do sytemu SAGA. Akurat te wzoru posiadam w swojej drużynie i brakująca trójka została skonwertowana z innych modeli ( co pokaże po pomalowaniu za czas jakiś).
Wracając do Zbrojnych z Middenheimu. Posiadam już trójkę konnych ( Dowódcę-Pierworodnego, oraz dwóch bohaterów- Wybranych Synów), oraz trzech odpowiedników na piechotę.

[ENG/PL] When you get frenzy, the thing about Berserkers / Kiedy ogarnie cię szał, czyli rzecz o Berserkach (CP Models Barbarians)

Image
"With warriors who turn into wolves or as berserkers they get furious, it's so great that while this change lasts, they are so strong that no one and nothing can stand against them, but when they pass, they are completely exhausted from strenght"- The Egil Saga
Scandinavia has a harsh climate, which is contrasted only by the beauty of the fjords and snow-capped mountains. Under these circumstances, a hard, painless, but impetuous community emerged. We used to call them vikings. Their long boats, drakkars and snakkars, adorned with dragons and snakes, traversed the known seas and rivers, creating fear and horror, but also hired their axes and established cultural exchanges (see Vikings in Byzantium).

          In this remarkable society, there were known shamanic practices, most likely adopted by the Lapolks, who also expressed themselves in the change of form, for example, into a wolf or a bear and a beast, as Werewolf.
The first text that mentions the names Berserks (bears…

[ENG/PL] The Way of the Samurai / Droga Samuraja (Ronin Bushi Buntai #1)

Image
Ohayōgozaimasu!

"Sword is the soul of a samurai, If one forgets or lose him, will not be forgiven" -testament of shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa (fragment)
Today at DwarfCrypt I invite you to a trip to the country of the Cherry Blossom in feudal period.To tell this story I will use freshly painted miniatures from North Star Military Miniatures to Ronin game, which I unpacked in this place.The Samurai, because of them, is one of the most recognizable social groups in history.But from the beginning ...
            The Samurai, the warrior, is a widely spread name in the West, the name of a feudal Japanese knight in Japan, commonly called Bushi, which I admit very much and I would like to use this phrase interchangeably. This name has changed over time with the phonetic change in samurai, which means "serve you". Originally, it meant a steward serving the highest Japanese dignitaries. They were also imperial guards called gosho-zamurai.
            The symbol of Bushi's positio…

[ENG/PL] Lagertha, the Shieldmaiden / Lagertha, kobieta Wiking (Hasslefree Miniatures)

Image
"The Gods will always smile upon brave Women"
Ending, for a few entries about the Vikings, I decided to end this triptic (What is it you wish to ask the gods?, When you get frenzy, the thing about Berserkers and Lagertha, the Shieldmaiden) something of a tribute to all the brave and warrior women.

        On the wave of Viking TV series popularity , broadcast on the History channel, great popularity has been won by the nordic adventurers and women warriors, so-called Shieldmaidens, the folklore and the mythology of the Nordic - a woman who had chosen to fight as a warrior.
Examples of shieldmaidens mentioned by name in the Norse sagas include Brynhildr in the Vǫlsunga saga (It is quite possible that the mythical Valkyrie, taking the body of the dead from the battlefield, was modeled on female warriors), Hervor in Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks, the Brynhildr of the Bósa saga ok Herrauðs, the Swedish princess Thornbjǫrg in Hrólfs saga Gautrekssonar and Princess Hed, Visna and Veborg …
