9. RAFM
This company produces some fantasy Norse in their
fantasy miniatures line under "Tribe of the Midnight Sun" including a
raiding party (with praying priest) and a weapons and shield assortment.
10. Ral Partha
An other oldtimer of miniatures
production. Their best source for fantasy Norse miniatures are the
"Tyrants" and "Reavers" from their "Barbarian Empire" range in the "All
Things Dark & Dangerous" line. All models come with (metal) slotted
bases and include characters, command figures, spearmen, shieldmaidens,
crossbowmen, scouts and berserkers.

The "Thane Mounted Valkyrie" (Principate) from the "Crucible" line might be useful as well.
11. Essex
Another manufacturer of historical miniatures. Some
are, well frankly, very amateurish, but the vikings are a later range and
generally far superior to their usual efforts. Most of those make decent
rank & file models. The golden rule with Essex is always to see them
first before you buy, though. No blind online ordering!

12. Artizan Designs
This UK-based company founded by Foundry-refugee Mike Owen produces some excellent historical miniatures. One of Mike's latest ranges is vikings and will include bondi, hirdsmen, hersir, characters, jarll and command figures. These great figures should go very well with the current Foundry range.

13. Irregular Miniatures
Another UK-based company producing
miniatures in any imaginable scale from 2mm up to 54mm. They're not the
best, but they're decent figs at affordable prices.

14. Redoubt Enterprises
Another manufacturer of historical
miniatures. Generally I'm not too fond of their miniatures, but I haven't
seen the vikings. Their online catalog uses small drawings to represent
the miniatures. Some interesting concepts, but hard to judge what the
finished miniatures look like.

15. Bronze Age Miniatures
This company produces miniatures in 25mm, 54mm and 1/8 scale. One viking
in the 25mm historical range.
16. Griffin Miniatures
They produce a model for the god Thor in
their "Masterpiece Collections" range, which would make an excellent giant
for your Norse army. He stands at an impressive 165mm, weighs 1.1 kg, is
cast in English pewter and comes in seventeen parts. Very nice, but...
he'll cost you.

Finally, do remember that Saxons work well as ersatz vikings!
Don't forget to take a look at the Norse Dwarf showcase.
As Norse and bears seem to go well together, you should also take a look at Colonel M.'s Bear Showcase
