Title: Dux Brit Picts and SAGA Scots - two for the price of one!
Post by: Mitch K on 16 November 2013, 01:52:43 PM

I've built myself a Pictish army ready for the expected release of the Dux Brit raiders supplement in early 2014. Finishing it co-incided with my getting my copy of the SAGA rules and Northern Fury supplement. Dredging through the other minis I had done I found I can not only field a starting force for Dux Brit, but a 4pt or 6pt Scots force!

In the words of Prince George, I'm as pleased as a Frenchman who has just invented a pair of self-removing trousers! lol

They're here in all their glory:

Very nice! Where did you hear the expected release is in early 2014? And where's your Picish chariot ;-)

News was from Lardie Rich himself over on the TFL Yahoo group. As for the chariot, well, what with cheap foreign imports, the price of spares, running costs and all that, frankly only a real loser would be seen dead in one nowadays ;D lol

Looking good! It's nice to get some more mileage out of things you already have. That's one thing I'm loving about Dark Age stuff: it's full of character, but so much is still "generic" enough to move around and be useful for lots of different scenarios.

I think you've got your 4-pt and 6-pt pictures mixed up, though - the first pic has more troops than the second!

Also, aren't you forgetting a list for Dux Bellorum? I thought that was mandatory for getting your Dark Age gamers' trifecta.  :D

Hatemonger - well spotted! I'm obviously too close to the work to see those details lol

As for Dux Bell - well, that goes without saying, doesn't it?
