Decided to post this as new thread instead of continuing where it was on the 15mm fantasy thread as i believe that a lot of wargamers only need to see "15mm" in the title and they pass it over instead of having a look and seeing what is possible in smaller scales.
I apologise to those of you who have already seen this in the other thread but i promise to add some great pics at the weekend after the next game with mine and Admiral Benbows barbarian cavalry.
Fantasy SAGA Game
At last got a few friends into collecting some figures for our 15mm fantasy games. (Actually it was Copplestones barbarian cavalry that pushed them over the edge :D)
We had a game with my elves and Fugazi's newly painted barbarian warband. Admiral Benbow was going to bring the barbarian cavalry he is working on (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=47372.msg809885#msg809885) but real life got in the way and he could not make it.
The barbarians used the SAGA viking battleboard and i used Franks LOTR Elven army battleboard for my elves. (Thanks Frank, Great boards!)http://tabletopdeutschland.wordpress.com/
Heres a few pics of the game.

I've been trapped in a 15mm thread.
Great terrain, great painting, great game.

Here are the first of my barbarian cavalry.(They were my round 9 Lead painters league entry.)
They are of course the lovely Copplestone castings 15mm (17mm) Barbarica miniatures.
Looking forward to getting them on the table friday and very curious about Admiral Benbows cavalry that he is bringing.

SAGA Fantasy in 15mm/18mm - Barbarians vs Dwarves
Tried out my dwarves against the barbarians from mine and Micheals (Admiral Benbow) collection.
On the dwarf SAGA battleboard from Frank ( http://tabletopdeutschland.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/saga-hdr-zwerge.pdf) the dwarves have only "short move" which means against opponents with cavalry and missile weapons you have a serious problem.
Luckily for me Micheal played in true barbarian style and attacked early with his cavalry leaving his levy and warriors far behind meaning i could wipe them out piecemeal.
As the lighting wasn't very good i didn't get many good in game pics, but here they are with a few "staged" pics at the end.

Lovely looking game and figures. :D
I hope Mr. Copplestone gets a move on with his not-Romans..

Decided to post this as new thread instead of continuing where it was on the 15mm fantasy thread as i believe that a lot of wargamers only need to see "15mm" in the title and they pass it over instead of having a look and seeing what is possible in smaller scales.
I never pass something over because of scale, but only recently I have begun contemplating doing some stuff in smaller scales. My main reason for staying away from smaller scales is the fact that I own lots of terrain for 28mm (and a ton of minis to go with it).
We have a growing 15mm God of Battles community in Denmark, though, and I just received the rulebook today - and when I was flipping throught it, I actually had the thought: 'Why not do SAGA in 15mm, too?'. I do use SAGA for 28mm fantasy (LotR), and intend to play GoB with LotR figs, too - BUT - as both the Dark Age and generic Fantasy are genres I don't own minis enough for to build armies, and haven't got excessive amounts of scenery for, if I'm going to game those, I can just as well build/buy 15mm terrain pieces and save a lot of time and money :D
So stuff like this is actually just kerosene on cinders ;)
-
Wow, stunning....
-
I hope Mr. Copplestone gets a move on with his not-Romans..
Has he hinted at doing some? Would be a nice addition to the range!
-
He has, but with all things Copplestone, it may be a bit of a wait... ::)
-
Great looking game,figures and terrain too.
-
Really outstanding. Great painting, but I think it's the terrain that is the real highlight. What size table is that? Do you play the standard scenarios or homemade ones? I'm a 15mm Saga player too, so nice to see someone else doing it. Your stuff certainly puts mine in the shade, though. Lovely!
-

Thanks. The table is 120cm x 120cm (4ft x 4ft) and SAGA works pretty good without changing any 28mm measurements. The only real difference is that with smaller bases on 15mm figures the whole unit is nearly always in "very short" distance of the melee and can fight.
I must admit i hardly play the scenarios in any rules and just try to build an interesting table with balanced forces.
-
Ok, that's interesting - we normally halve all distances, but the table does end up feeling pretty small. I do like the way this looks like an expansive battlefield.
-
Nice pics, Rob! Must work on new forces soon ... :)
