Simple Saga Warlord Sabot.... Say that three times fast......
« on: February 15, 2016, 12:09:01 PM »
Having already painted and based up a lot of Medieval minis for Lion Rampant I've now decided I want to use them for Saga as well. As they are singly based, not an issue, but I wanted my Warlords to look the part on larger bases. Digging through my bits box I found an old GW large plastic base of a suitable size. I used match-sticks to make a "frame" for the miniature's base and added a plastic tree to make it more like a miniature display stand.







I will probably do a couple more for my Russians and my Teutonic Bishop.

Thanks gents. I'm limiting myself to small projects at the moment to act as down-time when I'm not studying.
Hopefully after April I will get back into the swing and finally finish off all my Russians ( and Mongols).

Very striking. Apparently foreign knights would often join Teutonic Knights on their reits against the infidels and heathens. I am surprised you do not normally see more of these visiting knights in wargaming Teutonic armies.

Agreed, they were prevalent and necessary for the Teutonic military economy in the Baltic.

Be great to see the heraldry- one can never get enough heraldry! :)

That is a great idea. Great painting on the mini as well by the way.
