Yesterday I introduced two friends of mine to SAGA, using Mad Doc´s and my Trojan Wars collection. I wrote a battle report on our blog :

Thanks for sharing!

Post by: Mad Doc Morris on 17 January 2014, 07:14:50 AM: Ah, finally they're back in action, nice! 8) Too bad we had so little opportunity to use this part of our collection – still one of my favourite topics, though.
Did you deploy gods & godesses as well?

Talking of these ones (just a teaser for anyone else :D)

Love your painting also.

Title: Re: SAGA Mycenean Style
Post by: LeadAsbestos on 20 January 2014, 02:33:16 PM: It says they used Viking and Anglo-Danes boards, from the actual SAGA game.

I will do some close ups for you, but it might take some time. But you can buy the Wargames Soldiers&Strategy Issue 61, I wrote an article about the project there.

I am really in these ancient Greek things, especially their mythology :)

Therefore I have a question about the second picture showing the gods or lords on the tower. Which manufacturer are they from?

Thanks Thomas

These are 54mm models. The two ladies are by Russian Soldier Art, found them by chance, not sure who carries the range now.
Both males were painted by Hazel. IIRC Ares is an Art Girona model, and Apollon is based on a Bronze Age Minis armature.

Post by: Lt. Hazel on 22 January 2014, 09:45:29 AM: The Mad Doc is right, except for Apollo. I used a Preiser 1/32 Armaturen for him.

Title: Re: SAGA Mycenean Style
Post by: Longstrider on 15 February 2015, 09:03:54 AM: This is VERY nice looking, and has me very tempted by some sort of Bronze Age skirmishy type figures. Do the Redoubt 6-figures packs a) have different poses for each figure and b) how are the spears sculpted - hands open or needing drilling?

Thanks!
Title: Re: SAGA Mycenean Style
Post by: The Gray Ghost on 15 February 2015, 08:50:04 PM: there are six separate poses in Redoubt packs with open hands but you will probably need to do some drilling
