The most epic and legendary rivalry of all: Goths and Huns!
« on: 21 January 2013, 03:00:00 AM »

Apparently based on the real life struggle between the Goths and the Huns for mastery of Eastern Europe, the saga of Angantyr, the prince of the Goths and his family.

It would seem to be playable with Late Roman period figures, such as Gripping Beast, Foundry or Musketeer. It would need a suitably epic set of rules involving challenges and duels as well as raids and battles. And as well, there should be some scope for intervention by the gods and - of course - dwarves.

That's great! My goth army is partly based on my own interpretation of LotR Rohirrim, and I knew about Huns and Goths in the Edda's, but I never heard of this saga!
