Viking Reference Pictures

[Ozzloaf]

Hey guys,
I need reference pictures of vikings for a project I'm completing for a client. As this is the most viking place on the web I thought I would ask here for some help.
I'm looking forward to cranking up some Amon Amarth and getting the paint down.
Thanks!
Jake

There may be some good leads here; see if any are at the library as well.

Do you mean stuff that's "steroetypical vikings", like with big bulging biceps and horned helms, or do you mean more along the lines of "lets aim for reality"? This is a really good link for pictures related to anything asatru: http://home.earthlink.net/~wodensharrow/ and this dude does really inspirational stuff: http://www.floydjohnsonstudio.com/frames.html
Btw, there is a thread at this forum that's all fan art. I think it has som drawings etc. Can't for the life of me remember what the thread is called, but you can search under art, I guess.

There's a great Polish movie called Stara Basn that features the jomsvikings. Here are some pictures from it:

Jomsvikings before a charge:

Polish pagan warriors, but pretty close to vikings:

Jomsviking drinking mead:

Jomsvikings and Poles fighting:

If you can find the movie in stores or buy it off the internet it's a really great movie to see.

Excellent, thanks for all of the help guys. I was more talking about pictures of armor and stuff. This stuff is great as well though.
