			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Benedict has used this 40mm army twice at HOTTBAP. The First time the theme was <em>England Invaded</em> (2004), and the second <em>Faith and Doubt</em> 2008 (when they were known as <em>Polytheistic Vikings</em>).</p>
<div id="attachment_114" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class="size-full wp-image-114" title="vikings-p1110444" src="http://www.ediblearmies.org.uk/logop/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vikings-p1110444.jpg" alt="The Valhallan Vikings" width="420" height="280" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Valhallan Vikings</p></div>
<p><span id="more-120"></span><br />
I cannot remember where all the models came from, but the two Gods are <a href="http://www.reapermini.com">Reaper </a>figures. They can alternatively be classed as heroes (as Benedict did in the 2004 tournament, with the <em>Faith and Doubt</em> theme he used them as Gods in 2008).</p>
<div id="attachment_119" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class="size-full wp-image-119" title="vikings-p1110456" src="http://www.ediblearmies.org.uk/logop/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vikings-p1110456.jpg" alt="Thor the Thunderer, and One-Handed Tyr" width="420" height="280" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Thor the Thunderer, and One-Handed Tyr (Gods)</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/02701">Thor</a> is unmodified, but <a href="http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/02295">Tyr </a>need his right hand removed and replaced by a hook.</p>
<div id="attachment_117" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class="size-full wp-image-117" title="vikings-p1110453" src="http://www.ediblearmies.org.uk/logop/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vikings-p1110453.jpg" alt="Berserkers - Paladin" width="420" height="280" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Berserkers (Paladin)</p></div>
<p>Benedict chose to represent his berserkers as a paladin &#8211; fast and deadly, but unwilling to retreat, and protected from magic by the favour of Odin and weapons forged from meteoric iron.</p>
<div id="attachment_116" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class="size-full wp-image-116" title="vikings-p1110449" src="http://www.ediblearmies.org.uk/logop/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vikings-p1110449.jpg" alt="Viking Blades" width="420" height="280" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Vikings (Blades)</p></div>
<p>Where would a Viking army be without blades? This army has three, including the general.</p>
<div id="attachment_118" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class="size-full wp-image-118" title="vikings-p1110454" src="http://www.ediblearmies.org.uk/logop/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vikings-p1110454.jpg" alt="Viking archers (Shooters)" width="420" height="280" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Viking archers (Shooters)</p></div>
<p>Viking archers were not found in large numbers, but enough for a single shooter element.</p>
<div id="attachment_113" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class="size-full wp-image-113" title="vikings-p1110460" src="http://www.ediblearmies.org.uk/logop/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vikings-p1110460.jpg" alt="valkyries (Flyers)" width="420" height="280" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Valkyries (Flyers)</p></div>
<p>Valkyries, on the the other hand, are rarely found in historical armies, but these <a href="http://www.chariotminiatures.com/product.asp?numRecordPosition=21&amp;P_ID=727">Chariot Miniatures</a> figures are a vital component of the army.</p>
<div id="attachment_115" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class="size-full wp-image-115" title="vikings-p1110447" src="http://www.ediblearmies.org.uk/logop/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vikings-p1110447.jpg" alt="Viking Ship about to ground (Stronghold)" width="420" height="280" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Longship about to ground (Stronghold)</p></div>
<p>The Stronghold is a longship.</p>
