GuyD's Chivalric Saga (Swiss)

[GuyD]

I figured I'd make a separate thread for my upcoming Swiss warband for Saga: Age of Chivalry.


The initial bunch of test figures.


A unit of crossbowmen

They look fantastic! Great source of inspiration, thanks for sharing

[Dice Roller]

Yeah, lovely stuff.
God, I hope for your sake it's the pike-armed version of the Swiss they go with and not the bill-armed...

I'm building a bunch of pikemen at the moment, but would like to eventually to reinforce them with some billmen as well. What seems to be problem, would it be ahistorical army composition-wise? Or is this that actually cutting the pikes and attaching the bills seems to be a major PITA?

The Swiss used small numbers Halberdiers to guard the banners in this period so it might be justified but you really are talking small numbers compared to pike.

I love the way you layered on the highlights, it makes them look slightly worn out

[frank xerox]

Early on, they were mostly halberdiers but changed over to pikes to better deal with enemy cavalry. Dont know when exactly but you should be ok either way

Yeah I was going to post something similar. Since the composition changed over the time I feel for Saga you are fine having either of them. Age of Chivalry covers quite a long period where arms and armor changed quite a bit.

The main chunk of the gewalthaufen

[Ogrob]

Lovely!

[GuyD]

The latest additions: command and a few halberdiers

[Tonhel]

Nice work!

[Ninefingers]

Good stuff

[GuyD]

A few front rank pikemen from Warsteel Miniatures



and some less fortunate sods

[Charlie_]

Nice work, are those the warsteel casualties? I've been meaning to get some of them printed off myself...
