I have just procured the expansion, Nordheim, it seems to me that these figuines are slightly smaller than those of other boxes ...
I have all the boxes in two or three copies of what Monolith creates for his Conan games and this is not the first time that it happens ...
Too bad for me...

Finally, for the size that the figurines should have, one can base oneself on those which is written in Conan the Barbarian: novel of Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter according to a scenario of John Milius and Oliver Stone, it is written:
"Conan was amazed to discover that he was faced with a woman. She was slim and long-legged, and almost the height of Conan himself, who is now full-grown, towered over the tall Vanir and Aesir."
So the figurines of Vanir and Aesir of this extension are either too big or too small, it is according to ...
For their appearance and armaments, this is what should have been:
In battle, Aesir prefer the broadsword or battleaxe. Additionally, they rely on their chain-mailed shirts and wooden shields to protect them from the weapons of their enemies.
Many Aesir learn to use the throwing axis, but most will refuse to learn the spear or bow, weapons they think are cowardly.
The Aesir are blond and favor winged helmets.
They would not wear the hornet helmets of the Vanir who are their perennial enemies.
Vanir are fond of the spear, axes, and sword.
They use wooden shields covered in horsehide and wear horned helms and scale mail shirts.
The Vanir have red hair and favor hornet helmets.
Some in their bands should wear hornet helmets and none would wear winged helmets.
What are these Aesirs with horned helmets and weapons ?
When the two brothers of Atali, the daughter of Ymir, the Giant of Ice, with what are they armed ?
Butcher choppers chipped ?
Some will say that it is heroic fantasy and that one does what one wants ...
Not for purists who know that these imaginary peoples as their imaginary armies have been described and re-described and that the figurines that represent them should be as described by those who created the characters of the hyborian world ...
Ah I forgot they dared to illustrate the tiles of primitive Vanirs with illustrations of Picts'!?
Cheers

According to some of the posts on the overlord forum, there will be a new kickstarter in January for this game. It seems like it will be more pvp based, rather than the existing game.
I got the barbarian pledge last time rather than the king pledge, so I'm hoping I can pick up any pieces I might have missed.

If anyone is interested the kickstarter will start this coming Monday. It's heavily based on pvp, but there will be new figures and a book with new scenarios and solo play.
Unfortunately the prices have gone way up since the original kickstarter 4 years ago.

I think this has been delayed a week (now Jan 13) to incorporate changes suggested by the public.

Unfortunately the prices have gone way up since the original kickstarter 4 years ago. That is unfortunate. I balked at getting this the first time because of price and ultimately passed on it, but later wished I had purchased it. I was initially excited about possibly getting this when you first mentioned a new Kickstarter.

If you search on their facebook page there is also a link to the kickstarter page. It is currently only for review but it gives you an idea of what to expect. The one thing they have not shown is what exactly the single player content will be in terms of figures.

I was initially excited about possibly getting this when you first mentioned a new Kickstarter. Apparently the base game is on sale on amazon.com
If you are looking for the extra stuff, then I don't know how you could get it. I bought the basic game during the kickstarter and regret not getting the king pledge which would have brought many more pieces. I thought this kickstarter would offer the option of upgrading so that I could get the pieces I missed out on and the people who bought the game at retail would be able to get all the kickstarter exclusives.
Honestly, this kickstarter seems a bit rushed and poorly planned. Many of the complaints are about how confusing it all is and that is a bad sign.

Looks like this has been canceled: Yeah, it didn't last long. Honestly it's for the best, they were trying to give us what they wanted rather than what we wanted.
It sounds like they have heard the community and are putting together another kickstarter which will be more in line with the communities wishes. I'm looking forward to what they come up with.
