I've had a reply from GB: 'Work is well underway BUT we won't be releasing it until next year.......'

GREAT news! I'm happy enough to wait as it allows me time to paint up some warband's.

Maybe it'll be their big release for Salute next year! That's me just guessing/hoping though.

Good news. Thanks for the info  :)

So it's a perfect time to make use of Westwind's 25% sale on their Arthurian range :)

The unarmoured ones are pretty nice, but I painted up both Saxons and Romano-Brits and the armoured ones are really second-rate. Personally, for RBs I'd do Gripping Beast and the new ones from Saxon Miniatures, and go Footsore for Saxons. Others will differ, and there ARE some nice WW, but not enough to do a whole force.

Redacted since OP didn't find it help.

But seriously - life is too short.

There are already many SAGA battleboards to chose from. Pick your fave, stick a piece of masking tape on the top and write "Britons". Do the same for Cornish, Picts, Saxons, Welsh, etc.
Or play Dux Bellorum, Song or Arthur & Merlin, or Lion Rampant. All good choices.
No need to wait on Studio Tomahawk. Seriously  - life is too short.


Thanks for that advice. So I could randomly use another faction's battle board or I could play a completely different game? Hmm.
I prefer to wait for the carefully developed, properly tested and beautifully produced 'official' Arthurian Saga; you like playing wargames with Lego men...
Let's try not judge each others' choices :)

I plan on using my Brits and Saxons for Dux Brit, Arthur and Merlin, Lion Rampant, and I'll eagerly cough up my hard-earned $$ for SAGA when the times comes! Love the game and the company, so I want them to be successful and keep making great games, and that means opening up my wallet from time to time.
Plus I want to get some cool swag when they do the big release! ;)

Absolutely! Dux Brit is a fab game and by now I have several armies ready. Haven't tried Arthur and Merlin yet or Lion Rampant for that particular period.(Those Claymore figures were just too good  an excuse) Dux Bellorum didn't quite do it for my gaming group, but a GB/ Tomahawk inspired  SAGA-ARthurian game is very much worth waiting for.
Panic, Chaos and Disorder. My job here is done
