My SAGA begins - 23.12.: Berserkers!
« on: August 06, 2017, 11:49:24 AM »
One of my next projects, which will certainly keep me busy for the next few months, is the painting of a troop for SAGA.

Since I had been in the reenactment for a long time and had built up a gotlandic representation for the beginning of the 11th century by means of grave finds, my first army will orient itself accordingly.
However, I will play my Gotlanders not as Viking, but as Anglo-Danes - reason are the corresponding grave finds in the various graveyards, in which quite often axe heads of Daneaxes have been found.

As far as equipment and clothing are concerned, my Gotlanders will have an Eastern influence.
There are hardly any finds of helmets and garments on Gotland, but I am guided here by the representations of the numerous sculptures on which repeatedly pointed helmets, bobbing trousers etc. are recognizable.

The next unit for my Gotlanders - 8 warriors.

This is also my first attempt to depict damage and dust on the shields and as you can easily see, I still have to practice a lot  ;)

Thank you  :)

Most games will be played with 6 points, so I will need 8 more warriors, followed by 12 heathguard and the warlord of course.

Very nice.
If it isn't enjoyable, it isn't gaming!

My SAGA begins - Update 9.12: More Warriors for my Gotlanders
« Reply #14 on: December 09, 2017, 12:00:17 PM »
After a break that lasted a bit longer than expected (job and family left almost no time for the hobby), at least the next point point for my Gotlanders is ready now - 8 more warriors; a mixture of Gripping Beast and V&V Miniatures.



The Gripping Beast ones:


And the 4 V&V:


Hope you like them - a few more pictures you can find on my blog:
