"1066" Conteville

This range is named after a small village in Normandy, which for rather obvious
reasons - is near and dear to us. Conteville is famous as being the home of Herleve
(William the Conqueror's mother) for most of her life and for being the birthplace of
Williams two illustrious brothers.

Viking Sets NOW SHIPPING!
"When the Raven Flies!" (Viking Command Set, 2 figures)
VA001
Re-Introductory Price:
$59.95
$67.00
Price:
This  is the Viking Command set with a 'chief" and a
flagbearer. No one knows for sure what Viking flags looked
like, but from the descriptions available, we like to think this
is a pretty good guess.
"Thunderbolt!" (4 figures, catapult and terrain)
VA003
$165.00
Re-Introductory Price:
Price:
$165.00
Catapult with 4 man crew and huge terrain base plus lots of
arrows to stick in..showing that these Berserkers are under
heavy incoming fire........ One of the nicest sculpted pewter
sets ever made..bar none.....the figures, the terrain base,
the catapult are all world class pieces of sculpting and the
factory did a nice job reproducing these. VA003 combines
with VA004 Thunderbolt Add-on to make a 6 figure
set........VA003 has a  'plug' which fits where one of the
figures from VA004 is intended to go.....so 003 is great on its
own but fantastic when 003 and 004 are combined. All
figures are removable and can be used separately ......
Thunderbolt "Add-On" (2 figures)
VA004
Re-Introductory Price:
Price:
$60.00
$54.00
Two(2) figures: a kneeling archer and a casualty really help
tell the story started with VA003. We highly recommend you
get both sets.
"You Can Run..." (2 figures plus terrain base, celtic cross and tombstone)
VA005
$68.00
Re-Introductory Price:
Price:
$75.00
Dramatic set of Viking chasing a monk through the Church
cemetery. Great fine pewter figures and terrific terrain base
with Celtic Cross and tombstone which are sculpting marvels
on their own. I imagine this scene was repeated many times
during the Viking era as Churches and monasteries were
key targets of the Viking's raids.
"A Shopping We Will Go" (Single Viking)
VA008
Re-introductory Price:
$34.00
Price:
$39.95
This fellow sold out in a hurry and for good reason as he
is somewhat whimsical whilst also menacing...clearly his
mind was on procuring food & treasure ...he leaned
away from the slash & burn & pillage callings  and
instead worked on his shopping list.  Nice farm animal
included for all of you barnyard fanatics......
VA009 "A Womans Point of View" (Single Figure)
Price:
$38.00 Re-introductory Price:
$34.00
Single figure of a Saxon wench defending hearth & home
and herself no doubt. Looks quite lethal with the
pitchfork.......one of my favorite female sculptures which
we've done.  Looks good near the haystack set or by
one of our Saxon buildings...remember not to harm her
or she'll be worthless in trade......
VA013 "The Hooded Avenger" (Single Figure)
$31.00
Re-introductory Price:
$36.00
Price:
An instant classic... somewhat mysterious, somewhat
ominous...and very Robin Hoodesque. I love this
figure......Mr. Ortiz captured what I wanted in terms of
'mood" perfectly.....you know this guy is lethal with his
longbow yet you can't quite identify him....could he be  
he of a double identity??? Is he really nobility posing as
a poor woodsman???  All we know is he's gonna help
some Viking along to Valhalla in a hurry....ah, I can't wait
to add to this range of masked avengers.....but first I've
got some ACW--actually lots of them to do.......
VA015 "Wontcha Let Me Take You On A Sea Cruise"
$42.00
Price:
$75.00
Re-introductory Price:
Very popular set of Viking leading a winsome  Saxon
captive off to the boats to start a new life.....terrain base
has great detail and figures are removable.  Female
sculpt here and in set VA009 led one jealous competitor
would-be manufacturer to venture the opinion that the
women in our sets were not realistic as they were all
'too attractive'......I've discussed this with Mr. Ortiz and
he and I agree that (a) the other manufacturer is jealous
as all of their few  females look pretty manly, (b) one
only needs to take a peek at the VA set "Wrath of Big
Red" to see that not all is cuteness in the village which
we are raiding and (c) when it comes to Viking Raids, we
can do as we damn well please.......these are our people
and we're telling this story how we see it happening....
VA020
"Bring It On!" (Single figures)
Re-introductory Price:
$62.00
$69.00
Price:
Two figures racing towards one another in mortal
combat.....I love bopth of these sculpts but especially like
the Viking.....take a look at his shield and you just might
see the Conte logo making an in battle appearance.  Our
logo is based upon a Norse design used in the greatest
film of all time. "The Vikings", which Mr. Douglas was kind
enough to approve our using many years ago.....the
design appears on the sail of the Great Snake Viking ship
in the opening sequences of the film......using the design
on the shield of the figure here, on our stationery , etc. is
a silent tribute every day to Mr. Douglas........

Viking Invasion!
Restocks Arrive!
Magnus The Mighty Makes His Appearance
The Battering Ram Is Finally Here

Dear Conte Collector,

A ton of stuff just arrived..actually it was over 2 tons of stuff(literally).  Two (2) NEW Valhalla Awaits sets
just came in plus restocks of nine(9) other Valhalla sets which have been on backorder status for a
number of months.......even more amazing is that the factory finally sent us some more
'restocks' of older sold out items.  Pictures of all 19 on our website........19 different sets here as follows:

(as always,  these figures are fine pewter(i,e. deemed lead free) while the battering ram is cold cast resin
as are some of the terrain bases in the VA series.) Regrettably, the cost of everything is going up
dramatically.

New Sets
VA021 "I Hear You Knockin..."
$119.95
$99.95
Sale Price:
Huge battering ram with swinging ram
and 2 Vikings designed to operate this
thang.....covered in hides and generally
perfect for all sorts of Ancient thru
Medieval scenarios. We think it's the
best toy soldier battering ram ever
made...... Ram is approx. 11 1/2 " long
Special offer:  I am willing to sell six of
the rams without the 2 pewter figures
for $59.95 each to plastics collectors
who do not want the figures as we can
use some extra guys swinging the ram
for a diorama I have in mind.    
I Hear Ya Knocking -Battering Ram Only
$59.95
VA027 Magnus The Mighty (Single Mounted Figure on Horseback)
$69.95
$59.95
Sale Price:
Majestic Viking Chief on horseback
with hunting hawk.  Clearly enjoying
himself as the Raid progresses..........
Restocks Of Sets From Long Ago:

At long last the factory has sent us some restocks of long sold old and high in demand Viking and Norman
sets...we apologize again for the delay with restocks as we just aren't getting a lot of cooperation from the
factory on restocking older sets. We've had some sets like the ones listed below on order with the factory
for almost 2 years......it's very frustrating for you and even worse for us!!  Thankfully, at least we've gotten
in some inventory of these classic Conte sets. My advice is you'd best buy them now as we may not
reorder these for some time again as we have so many sets needing overdue restocking....and given the
factory's inexcusable tardiness and the ever growing cost of pewter and Chinese labor, who knows when
we'll see them again. It should be noted that we've discounted these as "reintro" prices as an apology for
the restocks taking so darn long.
CCC14 Club Figure: Norman Standard Bearer
$32.95
$27.95
Sale Price:
A single figure holding aloft the classic
and dreaded Norman coat of arms( which
would later--after a fashion be
incorporated into Englands Royal Coat of
Arms). He provides the perfect
counterpoint to the Viking Raven's
Banner when you've set up your
diorama...or better yet , give this figure a
place of honor in your Hastings
set-ups.......
VIK016 "Odin Must Have Sired Him"
$32.95
$25.00
Sale Price:
A single figure of someone near and
dear to our hearts..and while this pose
never occurred in any movie, we are
sure that it was enacted numerous
times when Ragnar was on a Raid!!!!!
WAL015 Norman Charging Set
$69.95
$59.95
Sale Price:
Three(3) of  the Duke's stalwarts
charging/attacking.  One of our mst
requested sold out sets...these guys
will all come in handy with our new
castle system coming in the
future..those of you who  who were at
OTSN last year saw the prototype of
the 'gate house' ........perfect also for
use on the Medieval Cog.......it's great
to have them back for Cog use....
WAL016 Norman Defenders Set
$69.95
$59.95
Sale Price:
Three (3) more of our earliest Norman
poses...you can tell how old these sets
are by the boring nature of the set
titles!!! The figures, however, are not
boring in the least & again will look great
in the new castle or on the Cog or on
the field at Hastings, liberating England
from the vile Saxons.....
WAL017 Viking Attacking Set
$64.00
$59.95
Sale Price:
Three (3) Norsemen in attack
mode.....definitely needed for any
attcks yopu are going to make with the
Viking battering ram(see new sets
above). One of those bread & butter
/everybody needs one sets which sold
and sold and sold in the old days.  
While I think our new Ortiz sculpted
Vikings are a tad better these still go
well and help tell the 'story". Perfect for
castle 'work" or a slash & burn raid.
Valhalla Awaits Restocks

Nine (9) of our VA sets sold out right away...we are happy to get these back into stock as they include
some of the best sets from the VA range......I am fond of all of them (as you'd expect me to be)  but the
arrival of the battering ram (above new sets) makes it imperative that you also add the Viking catapult to
your attack (sets VA003 and VA004 below).

Due to the factories inordinate delays on getting restocks to us, we are honoring our introductory prices
on each of these sets from several quarters back..... although we originally intended that this special
would have run out long ago. A number of you have pointed out that  we should honor the intro specials
since when you tried to order, we had already zoomed through the first batch with faster than expected
sales.....we agree!
Specials

Yes, we know you expect specials so here they are.......Buy any 4 sets and receive free shipping.......Buy
any 7 different sets from this list and receive your choice of either VA003 or VA021 Free................Buy
any 13  different sets from this list and receive BOTH VA003 and VA021 for free...........and on a smaller

Medieval Cog (Ship)
If you haven't purchased this yet, now's your chance as we still have a few of these being offered at a sale
price so we can continue to minimize what we will have to move when our warehouse changes. Click
here
to order.

Thanks as always for your patronage & support.  I'm very happy that we've been able to restock 17 of the
sets listed above and also get our hands on supplies of 2 new sets.  Now that the factory has caught up
on Roman Galleys, Medieval Cogs and these VA sets, I am hopeful that they will rapidly address our
restock needs with Spartans, Immortals and all sorts of backordered items from the ACW, Rogers Rangers
and Alamo series.....as well as getting adequate supplies of our new Zulu range to us......

Best Regards
Hail Ragnar's Beard
