@@KommanderKaren I would highly recommend it if you like medieval fantasy open world games. But my comment was mostly a joke, since you didn't include the Nordic conquest of fictional Skyrim in your Viking history 🤣
@BlueDragonBricks yeah those would be awesome. I would really like to do a video around the time of westward expansion in USA but there's obviously a big dark part of that I wouldn't know how to cover properly
So much to see in this video, I loved it. Despite already familiar with some of the history, it is fun to hear (and see in Lego) this short rundown of viking history, especially as it pertains to the british isles. The only minor thing I spotted was having the greek style shields on the sides of the viking boats. I know they look cool but that is some artistic freedom I probably would skip. I know shields are relatively expensive parts, but having 6-10 shields on such a boat is an investment I was willing to make, as the Viking figures can just use those as they move off the ship. (which is accurate) Now this putting shield on the sides of boats was more important when Vikings traversed rivers, to protect them from unexpected ranged attacks from the shoreline, but it also looks cool and very distinct. Thanks for the fun video and narration!
@pinobluevogel6458 thank you for watching! I do actually have 3 of the viking shields so I should have put them on just one side and hidden the other from view! It is definitely "vikings from England's point of view"
@@KommanderKaren Yea I noticed it was England's perspective. It is an interesting perspective for sure, if you have played the boardgame Britannia that shows how much foreign invasion was common during the entire history.
I used this as a source for my history essay and i got an F.
Thanks.
@@milesblay97 you should have read the description!
There is about a page and a half of historical data in this video, so I don't see how they failed you on this subject.
"Skyrim belongs to the Nords!"
@@BDD_Builds I've never played! Should I try?

@BDD_Builds ahhh no it went right over my head! 😂
The builds are getting more and more impressive, soon the masses will know about this channel!
@@Edclrk thank you! Had to rush through these to build it all within a week
Love this way of storytelling...
@@acetrooperproductions thank you!
Absolutely love the builds! Would like to see the rise and fall of the Roman Empire next
@@dinapedersen6006 sounds expensive!
I love this!! Your videos never fail to impress, keep it up!
@@SomeBurgerMan thank you ultimate burger man
Super cool video idea wow! Also the builds and figs you made are perfect!
@@rio0393 thank you! Glad you enjoyed
Wow, I didnt know that Vikings raided New York.
@DUNDOM5 was literally in the news for weeks, have you been living under a rock?
@@KommanderKaren I was distracted by your swimming attire
@@DUNDOM5 you like my Homers?
@@KommanderKaren u got that skibidi rizz
@@DUNDOM5 I take that as the highest compliment
This is awesome, using Legos to teach some history is a really cool idea.
@@BlueDragonBricks thank you! Shame the roman minifigures are so expensive or else I'd love to do that next
@@KommanderKaren personally, I want to get my hands on some Egyptian figs, but they aren't cheap either.
@BlueDragonBricks yeah those would be awesome. I would really like to do a video around the time of westward expansion in USA but there's obviously a big dark part of that I wouldn't know how to cover properly
Great ideas for the both of you. If it would be history, regular medieval history would be more doable with figures.
This is great!
It would be a fantastic way to teach children.
@@TraceyHausel thank you! I used to teach them for nearly 10 years

@pinobluevogel6458 haven't played it, but grew up in England and all of our history lessons were fairly self centred!
@@KommanderKaren Makes sense. If you're into longer form games, I would suggest you try it some time.
@@pinobluevogel6458 is it 1 player?
Amazing work!
@@BellPepperSteve thank you so much!
This was a fun and interesting video and I could tell you like history as well 😊 Looking forward to what you’ll be doing next. Take your time!
Btw, those Norwegian fjords not too cold to swim in? 😂
@Rob-kj7ug thank you! I only got a D at school, they should've taught us using lego! The fjord is lovely! Norwegian summer is the best
can you do Mongol history please?
@@Jeff-gov that's a great idea! Hopefully I have enough horses
Danisco here

@jorisbuis2006 yes! Soon as I can afford some camels
