Overview
About 20 years ago I found one of the polar bear sleds on ebay. It's a beautiful figure, and I saw it for the first time something like 1985. So clearly I needed an army to go with it. And this is that army.
Ice Chariot
Ice Chariot
This is the original figure that created the Ice Barbarian army. It is old 25mm (Ral Partha 1985), so not quite the same scale as the other Ice Barbarian figures, but works well regardless. I think the original concept comes from Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion series.
In Fantasy Triumph these are rated as:
Battle Taxi (Deadly +2): 5 pts each
Ice Troll Allies
Ice Troll Allies
These powerful figures are half again as tall as humans. They speak a language of their own, and have their own culture, but sometimes fight on behalf of their human allies. They are not related to the monsters called Trolls in the Southlands; the name has a different meaning in the North.
In Fantasy Triumph these are rated as:
Warband (Deadly +2): 5 pts each
These figures are prepainted plastic "Dreamblades" figures, for a chess-like skirmish-like game (Dreamblade) that came out in 2006, making use of the Golden Age of pre-painted plastics. The original paintjob is something different; I retouched it to fit the color palette of this army. I think the blue flesh was that color, though.
Ice Barbarians
Ice Barbarians
Most of these figures are historical Viking Ulfhednar (wolf-coats, a type of berserker). I painted them with white (Ice Wolf) furs, and used a palette of light blue and white for tunics, shields, and embroidery on the hems and sleeves.
In Fantasy Triumph these are rated as:
Light Foot (no battle cards): 3 pts each. The General's stand gets Deadly and Armored. (+2.5 pts)
Ice Barbarian General
Ice Barbarian Feral Allies
Ice Barbarian Feral Allies
The Ice Barbarians are adept at semi-domesticating wild animals in their environment, even to the point of having the stronger and more aggressive types fight on their side.
In Fantasy Triumph these are rated as:
Wolves: Light Foot (Fast +1/2, Fierce -1/2): 3 pts each.
Wooly Mammoth: Behemoth (no battle cards): 4 pts each.
The wolves are metal castings; no idea from where. The mammoth is a resin casting with metal tusks.
