Title: Saga Stuff (NEW Malaia Druzhina)
Post by: GevatterTod on May 02, 2014, 10:44:35 AM
I recently painted and repainted and rebased some of my Vikings to use them especially as Jomsvikings. Vikings where actually the very first historical miniatures I started with, so I need to do some updates in painting from time to time.

Here is what I plan to play as Sigvaldi with his best of the best followers:
(http://www.kurpfalz-feldherren.de/sites/default/files/Jomsvikings_saga_Sigvaldi.jpg)
Sigvaldi and some of his boys.

(http://www.kurpfalz-feldherren.de/sites/default/files/Jomsvikings_saga_Hearthguard_02.jpg)
more Jomsvikings

(http://www.kurpfalz-feldherren.de/sites/default/files/Jomsvikings_saga_Hearthguard_01.jpg)
still more Jomsvikings, painted new.

(http://www.kurpfalz-feldherren.de/sites/default/files/Jomsvikings_saga_Hearthguard_03.jpg)
also new paints, the guy on the right is the miniature from Stronghold Terrain, which was shipped with the new german version of Saga. He is slightly converted with the mantle and the shield.

some closeups:

I hope you like the photos.

Even if I painted most of these allready a few years ago, I took the chance to get a new group photo as a Saga-Warband. I just rebased the Warlord and added another 12 Slingers. So my 6 Points Anglo-Saxons look like this:

Hope you like it.

Finally I finished my Alfred the Great of Wessex, inspired by the weak and older version of Alfred in the books of Bernard Cornwell:

Surrounded by some angry monk followers:

I like Alfred the Great's base with integral praying monk.
It really paints the picture of Cornwell's books

Very nice painting. :-* :-*
And that BTD Alfred the Great is my best miniature to represent it.
Well done.

Post by: GevatterTod on September 24, 2015, 08:59:06 PM
Wow! Thanx so much for your Feedback. Glad you liked it.

The last days, I was in the right mood to finish some of the stuff, that was waiting there on my painting table for like... months... years? So I took my Rus Princes Malaia Druzhina to give them their final highlights. And here they are:

(http://www.kurpfalz-feldherren.de/sites/default/files/rusMalaiadruzhina.jpg)
(http://www.kurpfalz-feldherren.de/sites/default/files/rusprincesmalaiadruzhina2.jpg)
(http://www.kurpfalz-feldherren.de/sites/default/files/rusdruzhina2.jpg)

The models are from Gripping Beast (later russian range for the 13th century). I converted some of them, because the heads where really... well... terrible.


(http://www.kurpfalz-feldherren.de/sites/default/files/rusprincesconversion2.jpg)
(http://www.kurpfalz-feldherren.de/sites/default/files/rusprincesconversion1.jpg)
The Heads are from MicroArt and GW (Space Wolve and I guess Chaos Marauders).


All Druzhina together, riding out for the weekend:

I somehow missed the earlier update with Alfred's Massive.
They look great and really do capture the feel portrayed in Mr Cornwell's books.
 :-* :-*

And those Rus are splendiferous.
A real riot of colour.
Outstanding!

Those Rus are fantastic as is the whole thread.  Which heads did you use for the conversions?
