My SAGA in the Dark Ages (Update 22.12.17: Saxon Fyrd)

[Lt. Hazel]

I recently finished the bases of these Anglo Danes. I only have 6 pts. Of Irish, so I thought it would be nice to have an opponent at hand. I mixed Gripping Beast, Footsore and Saxon Miniatures and really like how they work together.

[Breazer]

They look great!

Fantastic work

My Irish.

The Warlord. He is, like the rest of my warband, equiped with javelines. It was this miniature, sculpted by Bill T. of Footsore Miniatures, that caused my craving for the Irish. I chose to paint all the shields black, because in Cornwells Arthur books the Irish have such shields and I liked the idea then. The rest of the warband is almost entirely made of Footsore Miniatures, Irish with some Picts mixed in. The Dogs and the Priest are from Gripping Beast. 



Two Curaidhs:



My "Death Star", 10 Fiannas. Everyone knowing the Irish battleboard knows what havoc they cause when 3 geese are rolled:



The Dogs (one is missing, but it is a 8 "men" unit):


2x8 Warriors:





That is, in my opinion, a very though 6 pt. army.
I also have a few other miniatures ready, Fianna with Daneaxes:


And a warrior priest:

Hi,

Oh my goodness.   

They are very good.   

[Lost Egg]

Awesome!

[Tonhel]

Fantastic warband!

[Mr.J]

Wow! Very nice. Lovely selection of figures. I'm waiting on Footsore's Vikings.

[Golgotha]

Very impressive and it does make one wonder why we do not see more Dark Age Irish armies?

[Jacksarge]

Such lovely painting, wonderful!

[Lt. Hazel]

I also have no clue 
Mr. J, I am very excited what FM will unleash in 2018. Vikings and Normans, Gangs of Rome and later in the year early Byzantines sculpted by Steve Saleh-marvellous.

[Hu Rhu]

That is a fantastic army, very well painted.  I wish you luck in your forthcoming battles.

Fantastic painting on the Irish! I love the subdued tone you went with on them. As to the upcoming releases, I may well get into the Viking era if I'm not careful. Byzantines will be pretty awesome too!

[Codsticker]

I saw these on the Saga forums so I will post the same thing I posted there: these are awesome!

Wonderful painting, man !
