On with the crusaders for Saga C&C! We decided to play the old system more often in 2018 before the new one gets its feet to the ground.
Here they are: 1 point of sergeants of the Knights Templar:

They look stunning, but bin the daft looking bright green edges to their bases.

What would you suggest? Khaki? Sand? Black?
I went for dark brown on The Knights of the Oblong Table...

The brown does not convince me completely. Your bases seem to look sand toned with grass and the gaming surface looks like a grass mat too. I think I would in fact have preferred green edges in that case.

To be fair they don't convince me much either, I just wanted away from that seventies green look! The gaming surfaces are blocks of polystyrene, green one one side and desert coloured on the other, they look a bit cartoonish but kind of fit the old skool' style wargamin I've gone back to! Here's the terrien thingys turned over for a Crudator and Saracen tonking match...

Same here I think they look spot on.

Thanks!
I kept on painting the edges khaki now:
One point worth of Saga:

And another point:

Now my mounted Templars alone assemble an army of 5 points in Saga terms. 1 point for each detachment of four knights and 1 point for the eight sergeants. Together with the sergeants on foot thatīs 7 points already. I have to do a few crossbows too to have a little choice for composition of my "task force Jerusalem"...
