Hnefatafl forum

Hello Hagbard
And again, a new set of pieces... As you know, berserkers used skins/heads of real animals to dress themselves and scare off their opponents...
I see the 'brown bears' as attackers, the 'wolves' being the defenders. The king is a boar...
The wolves, the knight and their boar king are all in a greyish tone, the attackers in darker brown and black. I hope they'll come out clear, worth trying... They look good on the existing red background...
If you like 'em, feel free to apply... I think it's clear to what game these are designed for, no?
Note: first, I send the regular pieces, in next message, I'll include the commanders (black bear) and the knight

Greetings

... and the two remaining pieces...

Inserted in the Berserk 11x11.

Hello again

this is the last one, for now...
a very simple design, for maximum clarity, loosely based on the famous lewis chess piece warders and the seated king.

Attackers not transparent:

Should be okay now. I included the other files also a second time, for in your example, the beige pieces look a bit greyish?

Inserted in Fetlar 11x11.
So Odin from Lejre came on the board!
