Thanks Brad but still not know much more about them. Perplexed that nothing comes up in the internet. One guy in the States was once selling a few of the Viking figures but he also knew nothing. Looked into Table Games as well but nothing.
I had a set of Romans in the same humorous vein, by the same sculptor. They all had whimsical names, like centurion Maximus Pompus, ; the drunk one, Gurglus Burpus......well, you get the idea. I gave them to my grandson, who thinks they're hilarious. Some have quite rude names, which appeals to young boys
