Ogrob's medievals for SAGA. V&V and Victrix muslim heavy cav compared 21/9

[Atheling]

I do like a good tactical rock. There will be more in this project

I do share your love for the old tactical rock! In fact, i often have to consciously avoid adding them I have so many command bases composed that way! 

[Mikai]

Really lovely warlord, a nice job!

[Ogrob]

Speaking of tactical rocks, here is a foot Warlord on one. This is a Victrix kitbash, body from the Viking command sprue with head and sword from the Rus. The shield is the same metal shield I used for the mounted Warlord on last page.


And another unit of Black Knight 3D prints, his Samogitan Axemen. Eastern Princes lithuanians have access to heavy weapon warriors, so perfect for those. They can also serve as Borderer mercenaries, which can be good with the Pagan People board.


What do you think?

Very nice work.  The guy front and center in the second picture looks like a medieval version of Lord Humungus from The Road Warrior.

[Ogrob]

Little bit more progress this weekend. Managed to finish the wagon that I showed earlier. One of the more unique features of the Eastern Princes faction is their ability to bring a supply wagon into battle. I am not sure how good it is, but for now it is a half point unit that generated SAGA dice, which can be good in itself. Based on wagon rules in Age of Chivalry, I suspect it might be nerfed in the future. Still, a fun modelling opportunity.




What do you think?

[Mikai]

Well done! I hope it will see some action at a future battle report!

[Little Odo]

Nice. That is a great looking model. Hope you have fun with it in Saga

[Ogrob]

Finished the third and final warlord for the Lithuanians. This will be the warlord figure for the Eastern Princes faction, as they can only field a mounted warlord, and he doesn't get javelins. Bit of a kitbash: a 3D printer Slavic mercenary commander by Reconquer designs, but on a Perry medieval horse, holding a plastic lance from a Perry kit as well, but with a 3D printed flag from Black Knight miniatures Lithuanian Nobles. A lithuanian pavise shield nicked from the previously posted mounted warlord, also by Black Knight.




What do you think?

[LazyStudent]

Really nice looking warlord! Impressive work on getting the red to pop!
Only piece to be constructive on is that the poor dog is quite well camouflaged into the base. But that might just be in the photos.

[Michi]

That's a centerpiece for the warband for sure! Impressive miniature!

[Ogrob]

Thank you both! You're quite right about the dog LazyStudent, I'll think about going back and adding some brighter tones to it.

[Ogrob]

Getting some work done every weekend. This time, a decent size group of Hearthguard with Heavy Weapons. These will come in handy for the Pagan People, where they can effectively teleport between forests.

Figures are simply Victrix Rus and a few bodies from the Viking command sprue.


What do you think?

[Basementboy]

They look great! You?re really cranking units out, really nice work

[Ogrob]

Another little delivery of 3D prints arrived today, this time from Stronghold Terrain.

The main reason for my order is these men-at-arms on foot by Reconquer Designs. I went with the open face option on these, Reconquer does them with visors down too. I will use them as Foreign Men at Arms, a mercenary unit in Age of Chivalry. They are warrior quality troops with hearthguard level armour, so having their faces showing is a nice way to differentiate them from most of my foot men at arms as they tend to wear visors down or great helms.



And then another set I had been eying for a while, Reconquer's slavic heavy infantry. These are part of a release of heavy moor infantry and intended as mercenaries. They will join my Lithuanians instead. I gave two of them swords by Black Knight, a bit chunkier, to match my earlier Lithuanian infantry. Hopefully I also have enough pavises to equip them with that.

[Little Odo]

Those are very nice figures. Looking forward to seeing them painted up.
