Title: TBC's SAGA Project, NEW My Irish Mounted Irish Command units are finished!
Post by: Too Bo Coo on November 07, 2013, 02:37:16 AM: I just finished off my first viking, the great Northern Warlord, Erik the Blond....

As always, comments and suggestions are most welcome!

Post by: Too Bo Coo on November 07, 2013, 04:55:09 PM: You have the rules now, and well, the Vikings ARE on their way....lol

I was also able to put together a small village, 3 houses, a manor and then some fields, pond and a small stream to run alongside. I'll make a well myself and then get a few animals and serfs. Maybe when we meet you can bring some of your pigs. My Vikings will need a meal after the slaughter... :)

Did I ever mention to you guys that the name 'Peter' sounds rather Welshish to me? Hmm... Or perhaps from northern France...

I have just started a SAGA force myself and will be posting my efforts on the Fantasy board shortly.
I had better warn you that it is highly addictive.
But you probably already know that!

I could say the same to you, as I am eyeing up some cowboys to get that long-threatened OW project on its way soon too.

I think the very same thing every time I catch my half painted cowboy gang looking at me from the mantle wondering when it's their turn next...

Post by: Groove51 on November 08, 2013, 03:46:42 PM: That's a mighty fine looking Viking! :D
I'm still undecided on which force I want to do but I've narrowed it down to two, so I'm getting closer. ;)
Title: Re: As if TBC didnt have enough open projects, why not start a Saga force?!?!
Post by: Too Bo Coo on November 08, 2013, 04:30:24 PM: Cheers! What are you thinking about?

I'm starting to collect a bit of terrain, and at least as far as animals go, we can recycle some stuff from the OW games!

I also bought the Revell Longship, it'll be with me when I get back from the holidays! :)
Title: Re: As if TBC didnt have enough open projects, why not start a Saga force?!?!
Post by: Groove51 on November 08, 2013, 04:37:57 PM: At the moment it's either Anglo-Danes or Normans. But it might change into something completely different. ???
Title: Re: As if TBC didnt have enough open projects, why not start a Saga force?!?!
Post by: Drunkendwarf on November 08, 2013, 04:38:52 PM: Nice!

I'm almost ready with my SAGA Vikings and after that I will be making some terrain pieces (and start a Anglo-Danish warband).
Next week is a SAGA tournement in Zwolle; "For King and Country II".

Post by: Too Bo Coo on November 19, 2013, 10:59:17 AM: I'm VERY happy with the set I bought! I also played with that foamstuff I bought for us and made a small village well with it and the ring from a scotch tape roll.

I still think you can bang out 4 pts for January! I have faith in you! :)

I'm also very happy with the skin tone set I bought at Crisis!

Post by: Too Bo Coo on March 04, 2014, 08:38:17 PM: Just a quick update, I painted up a warrior point, I'll take pics of them later and post them, and finished some more buildings for the Village of Wyr Skruude. They're all Acheson Creations. I used some green stuff to jazz them up a bit and make them look a little different.

Aside from what I took pictures of I still have another large house and a small barn, as well as some stone fence sections. I bought some woven kitchen placemats, I'll use those to make wicker fencing. I'm VERY tempted to buy that Wicker Man from Ainsy...

What, including some to live in the wicker man, even?o_o

Lovely work - I might try the idea of adding ivy up the walls at the construction stage myself on the next suitable building. That looks very good indeed.
Title: Re: TBC's SAGA Project, The Village of Wyr Skruude MORE BUILDINGS!
Post by: Too Bo Coo on March 06, 2014, 01:41:47 PM: Thanks Mitch! The buildings themselves are great. Very little cleanup. The ONLY thing that bothered me was that the small house has a lip to keep the roof on the main block of the house, but none of the other buildings do. Not sure why they omitted them, but they did.... I used some plastic strip to recreate the mechanism, so they work fine now.

The ivy is from a Happy Seppuku 'swamp' stamp. i just keep reusing the same stamp over and over, cutting them up and shaping them while they're still a bit soft. I think it's enough to conceal they're all from the same source. if you REALLY look you can figure it out, but who has that kind of time?? :D For me it was a great way to conceal the identical buildings and give a bit more variety. There's only SO much you can do before they look overdone, but working with the putty is easy enough to make corrections. The green also adds a great contrast to all of the earth tones!

Thanks for the positive feedback!

I saw the previous unit and forgot to say at the time that you have given me the kick up the arse that I needed to get my first LotR SAGA unit finished.

The Warriors of Gondor were finished today, they just need basing and shields painting.

Thanks for the nudge!

Cheers Mason! I have t admit, Vikings are so much fun to paint! And the arse kicking works both ways! You guys are all a HUGE inspiration!

I must admit,the hand painted shields I did for the warriors came out well. For a moment or two I almost forgot which ones were decals and which were painted. That made me feel all warm inside!

BTW, BIG fan of your LOTR project!
Title: Re: TBC's SAGA Project, UPDATED New Warlord Tor Eriksen
Post by: Too Bo Coo on March 15, 2014, 02:22:43 AM: My new warlord for my Viking force, Tor Eriksen and his wolf Fenris, a freebie sent to me by the Foundry when I ordered from one of their modern lines. I liked it so much I paired it with a wolf from Silent Invader's Scavenge, Skirmish and Survive line. I saw the pic of him on the Foundry site just to get an idea how they pained him and I'm quite pleased that I went for polar bears as the cloak. I was playing around with one polar bear and one black bear, but then I thought it would look too fantasy...

Thanks so much! He was a real joy to paint up... and was rather effective today as well. It seems the Vikings and Turks showed up at Wyr Skruude coincidentally at the same time for some raiding. After Tor took the Turk's head, the Irish warlord was undone by Tor's Hirdmen. It was a glorious day for the Thunder God! :D

Goofed around learning the rules today with Za Zjurman and Groove51 and it was unanimously a fun game to play, losses aside :)

Now onto the last 2 points! Then Normans and Anglo-Danes. (Which its the other nice thing about SAGA, I'll need to paint a more or less full 6 points for the Normans, but as to the Anglo-Danes, I'll just paint up a new Warlord and some Hirdmen. The Warriors and Levy can be used from the Viking set! :D

Great looking group! Especially the bases are very well done!

Thanks for the compliments!

The bases are very easy to do.
1) Brown base
2) Dry brush a Middle Brown and then with the brush wet start using an Ivory. The exact colors for these first two steps dont matter much, just as long as they are pleasing, contrast well with each other and you use them consistently for all the bases.
3) Superglue some GF9 Summer Flock in patches but covering most of the base, this gives a nice 'mossy' look
4) Smaller patches of Summer static grass to mimic patches of longer grass
5) Just add a few pleasing tufts, bushes, etc and any other artifacts that make sense.

It's SUPER easy, but I think the real trick is to use flock and static grass together and of a slightly different shade.

Oh, and I use this for the static grass:

The top two boards are made with Woodland Scenics rock molds. The putty was a 5 min gray that was SUPER hard and kept great detail. I find this mold to be a great way to test different types of putty. I'll buy more of this stuff, cheap and very good detail!

I have two more forest boards to make and just the last three buildings to paint up.

This was also a test ground for my new stamps from Happy Seppeku. So the same stamp that I used for the ivy on my houses, has a mold for a bunch of tree roots and stumps. So I wait until the greenstuff JUST sets and then mold it around the plastic tubing I use as tree bases. The trees I bought on ebay from china, I like the wire and foam jobbies.

The skeleton is from the Pirate stamp along with the horse head and the spear and shield are GB. The snake comes from the Swamp stamp with the roots and ivy.

All in all, very happy with how they came out and I think 4 boards should be more than enough.

The setup was poor for a 3-man game, the scenario begins with all players in corners, but this invariably has one person in the middle. What ended up happening is that I was int he middle, ran to the Anglo-Danes, fought with them and the poor Anglo-Saxon player spent the game chasing us. The terrain being in the middle of the table did not help things for the Saxon player, it just become obstacles to even getting close enough for missile fire....

To be honest, I think there was such a need locally for this type of a thing, that people have become quite hungry to meet and game. In fact, while it's officially a once-monthly club, we're already opening up a second day each month to make it biweekly. I'm thrilled. And I have to say, the location is great. We have a nice bar, small kitchen, the drinks and such are subsidized and the snacks are part of the entrance fee. 2 euros goes a loong way :D

I'm well on my way to making my force good for dual roles, Anglo-Danish and Viking, to give me more variety at play. Seems like lots of folks are eager to play SAGA.

Post by: Too Bo Coo on April 07, 2014, 05:45:23 PM: I was able to get the first point of Huscarls with Dane Axes done. The GB plastic set is very easy to work with. But there were a couple of pits in the castings, which is surprising, I thought Rendera was a first grade caster.... No worries, still plenty of parts to use.

So here first are the last two Huscarls alone. I still need to green stuff some fingers on the one on the right for his right hand. But the glue needs to dry first.

Excellent conversions. If I didn't already have my dane axe armed Huscarls from Gripping Beast I would have followed your example. However my SAGA gaming partner has just got some plastic Saxons, so I shall be showing him your work.

My advice to your friend would be to drill holes in the hands of the arms first, I use a straight pin to get a center point. Then I glue the arms on, wait 12 hours. I cut the hands on the figure. I think it's much easier to see where the correct cut should be . I made the mistake and cut one hand before gluing it on. With a little work I could have salvaged it, but I pried off the arm and replaced it with a new one. Then cut once dry and got it right. So far I havent had to do too much extra work to get it straight. It also helps to super glue one hand on the ax shaft before plastic gluing the other. That's really all there was to it. The mini's themselves are really nice, and I've never had any prejudice against plastics. I'm no expert by any measure, but with a decent paint job I think they look great on the table. I've been happy at least :D.

Easy to use, super versatile (even more if you mix between sets!) and in your hands, fantastically effective. If GB want some free advertising, direct 'em to this thread!
Title: Re: TBC's SAGA Project, UPDATED New Dane Ax Conversion First Point Done!
Post by: Too Bo Coo on April 08, 2014, 11:30:55 PM: Thanks guys, but I must confess that it was more serendipity than anything else. I had a whole bunch of WFB hands, that are too big, all lined up to replace the GB ones. Only at the last moment I thought to try drilling the GB hands. But I think the real trick is cutting the arms after being glued on to the body, I've never done that before and it worked very well to get the cuts lined up correctly.

Cheers!

They're still under construction, mate. They're in the queue behind thirty-odd Vikings, some top-up units for Dux Brit and a few ECW odds and ends. lol

I put one sprue together and posted on here, so you can see what they're like. I've moved one single figure up the list to put a unit of four on the table for the Dux Brit North British variation.

As an army, I don't know - my impression is they burn bright and burn fast and aren't an army for a long drawn out fight, but other will have more insight than me.

Post by: Too Bo Coo on May 08, 2014, 01:48:27 AM: Sorry for the poor lighting on these, but I've been super busy and packed my other light away.

Havent been able to get much done the last few weeks, but this is something I've had in the works since I started converting the Dane Axes.

Also after some thought I think I'll start with 2 pts of Dane Axes and 2 pts of Hearthguard with hand-weapon and shield. I think this is a better balance to play.

So here is the AD Warlord with Standard Bearer. Still need to do the basing and the standard.... :D

The horse was surprisingly easy. Just like blending an Ogre.... :D It's a plastic Conquest mini, and it much nicer than I expected. I bought the Foundry William the Conquer set, which are obviously much finer minis. I think when I decide to expand, I'll 'demote' the plastics to warriors and replace them with Perry Crusaders. In fact, I may pick up a pack or two at Crisis :D

Thanks for the kind words! I have to be honest, I have avoided learning how to blend as long as I could. I was just way too intimidated. But it's pretty easy. I realized my main historical failure with it was having my paint too thick. In any event, the horse was great fun to paint!

Post by: Too Bo Coo on December 17, 2014, 03:33:27 PM: I think I posted the question in the wrong space... The one on the left is with acryllics and the right is with an oil wipe. The right side is def MUCH faster and I think gives a more realistic highlight and sheen. I know people are mad for super matt coatings, but real horses always seem to have a slight sheen to their coat. What do you guys think?

Post by: Too Bo Coo on December 17, 2014, 04:05:56 PM: The one on the left is a plastic Conquest while the right is a metal Perry! I was shocked that I thought the plastic model was far superior to the Perry.... and how disappointed I was with the Perry model. Originally I was going to do my Hearthguard in metal and the Warriors in Plastic, but I think I'll reverse that now that I see them. The Foundry Normans are MUCH better....

Post by: warburton on December 18, 2014, 07:31:25 PM: Nice work. I like the one on the left as it has a more painterly look to the paint job, but the one on the right does have a realistic looking sheen, as you put it. If you can keep up the effort, the left would make for a more impressive warband, in my opinion. But, both look good :)

Some people have mentioned that their vikings look a little on the fantastic side, but I think that a little bit of an ahistorical look works particularly well with the Jomsvikings who seemed to have an over the top look as compared to even their traditional viking counterparts...

For all of the hair I used the Reaper hair triads. I think they work really well. I try to use similar colors sometimes just for a little variation. Even if it's just blending a little of the colors within the triad.

My first Norman Crossbowmen

I do agree, the Foundry crossbows and archers are a bit of a mixed bag pose wise. I really like number 3 and 4, but 1 and 2 are not so hot. It will be the same with the next group. I actually plan to paint up all 12 I have, and then pick the best once I'm done, even though I can only use 8.

The cavalry are all around much better and mix very well with the Conquest plastics. I was also interested in the Crusader minis, but they are really just 4 sculpts x2. So to get the variety I went Foundry...

Now my Odo, please to enjoy :D

Thank you for the compliment and the tip, I'll have to check it out. I'm thinking perhaps black was also the wrong color to choose in any event....

Post by: Gracchus Armisurplus on September 26, 2016, 02:52:11 AM: Those faces are brilliant, you really capture their expressions!

Re: bowstrings. I think part of the problem is that sculptors don't consider the bowstring and arrow position when they're sculpting. In this case, those bows are far too straight to be at full draw, and our eye doesn't normally process the problem, but when you put a string on it I think it highlights it. Bending the bows a bit during the construction phase might give a more natural look? Also, I think you're right that a more neutral colour would have been better than black. Don't get me wrong, the models look great, I just think there might be some tweaks that could get the bowstrings really looking schmick :)

Thanks Mate! They're the axes that came on the Foundry minis, at least for the Jomsvikings. The Plastic Anglo Danes I used the Gripping Beast Dane Axes.

Post by: Too Bo Coo on April 22, 2017, 02:16:09 AM: Thanks Mates! :D

I've been super busy with work lately and so no time for minis... :( But there is a Grand Tournament for SAGA in Moscow in a month and I'm getting my Irish ready! Now that the Irish Heroes are finished, I can look to the Warlord and units.

I'm mostly using Footsore and in addition to the Irish will use their Brodir mini with Javelin, as my warlord, and this converted Fiana Dane Axman as the standard.

Since I'm using steel pins as javelins, I'll change this shield and make two pin-javelins and attach them and a new shield to the back.

Post by: Too Bo Coo on April 27, 2017, 09:47:06 PM: Thanks Mates! I also have been entertaining mounted units.... So... more Irish! My mounted Warlord and Curaidh. I did a little conversion work on each. I wanted all the javelins to match so I cut out the sculpted ones and replaced them with steel pins. The Warlord I game eye covers to his helmet to make it look more Viking, like a spoil of war... But there was not much opportunity to convert him.

Title: Re: TBC's SAGA Project, NEW My Irish Mounted Irish Bard
Post by: LeadAsbestos on May 18, 2017, 05:40:58 AM: Pretty sure that is a Gripping Beast horse. I have a few in my DA collection, and I swapped one out for a mount for my old Citadel Frodo. They are a bit wonky, yes.

Post by: Too Bo Coo on May 18, 2017, 09:43:13 AM: Hi Chaps! Thanks for the compliments on the rider, I'm getting better at plaid :D.

He's the full Gripping Beast model, including horse. I agree it's a bit strange in proportions, but I put it down to it being more a highlands type horse than what one would find in say Normandy. Sure, it's not really historically accurate but I dont have access to a replacement and my tourney is on Saturday.

To paint them I use the oil-wipe method and the Mordheim horse painting guide as reference.
Title: Re: TBC's SAGA Project, NEW My Irish Mounted Irish Bard
Post by: Too Bo Coo on May 18, 2017, 09:45:58 AM: Oh, I actually do a variation on the eye, I paint a white line and then in the front half paint a black line over it. That way it looks like the horse is looking forward. Again, not exactly correct but it seems to work well enough for what I was trying. :D

Horses don't have any white to the eyes.

Every time someone asserts this on LAF from now on (because it's been said often before), I am going to post this picture!

While it's true that horses serenely at rest or out for a nice walk don't generally show any whites to their eyes, horses most certainly do have whites to their eyes. When they are angry, stressed, spooked, scared, exerted - you see them. You often see it on racehorses too during the race. Imagine how they'd be in the middle of a battle with all hell breaking loose around them. Just saying... :)

Post by: Codsticker on May 26, 2017, 04:28:38 PM: I agree with you CB, but some tend to paint the white in similar proportions to the iris as in humans which is "incorrect". In those photos you see how little white is exposed, slightly more in a stressful situation. Generally, a crescent of white in either the front or rear corner should be all we see in a 28mm model.
