With a battle cry to Oden, Shield-Maiden Rakel calls her warrior sisters to arms/
Sonja, Hedda, Rakel and Marta are four of the elite warrior band of Shield Maidens who have sworn their lives to service the will of the gods as interrupted by their leaders.
It is a matter of pride among them that no male warriors are braver or more valiant.
When not fighting they practice their skill at arms constantly.
They are especially adept at the use of their shields in both defense and as an offensive weapon.
Being raised from youth to be quick and deadly, Shield-Maidens are renowned in the Nine Worlds for their ruthlessness and lack of mercy in battle.
Pity the foolish male adversary who sees these women warriors as easy prey, for their lives will soon be forfeit to the wrath of these sword wielding 'goddesses' of battle.
After another victory, the Shield-Maidens offer the lives they have taken as token of their loyalty to Oden, Freyja and Hel. The former two will take the souls of the brave, while Hel will welcome the rest to the torments, she has prepared in Helheim for these cowards. Now it is time to practice and ready themselves for the next battle for the glory of the gods and the fame of the Shield-Maidens.
These are plastic pieces I finished painting yesterday.
