TBC's SAGA Project, NEW My Irish Mounted Irish Command units are finished!

[Too Bo Coo]

Wow!  Thanks for all the great feedback Mates!  I'm pleased you guys like the project!

I keep looking at the Normans....  back and forth, but I cant decide...

You can do a lot with the conquest games plastics....I will get some pics of my archers conversions up soon as an example.

[Too Bo Coo]

Oh please do!  I'd love to see them!

I'm quite torn if I should go ahead with the Normans or get 3 boxes of Ancient Germans and do that Irish Cav army...  I'm waiting to hear back if a sale of normans will go ahead and if I can pick them up then I'll go that direction.  But I'm super interested to see your conversions!

The ancient Germans make a great Saga cavalry army - they are what I'm using for my Strathclyde/North British force and I'm perfectly happy with them.

Cheers Mitch!  That's great news, and what I was hoping for!  I havent bought that expansion yet.  How are they as an army?

They're still under construction, mate. They're in the queue behind thirty-odd Vikings, some top-up units for Dux Brit and a few ECW odds and ends. 

I put one sprue together and posted on here, so you can see what they're like. I've moved one single figure up the list to put a unit of four on the table for the Dux Brit North British variation.

As an army, I don't know - my impression is they burn bright and burn fast and aren't an army for a long drawn out fight, but other will have more insight than me.

[Too Bo Coo]

Sorry for the poor lighting on these, but I've been super busy and packed my other light away.

Havent been able to get much done the last few weeks, but this is something I've had in the works since I started converting the Dane Axes. 

Also after some thought I think I'll start with 2 pts of Dane Axes and 2 pts of Hearthguard with hand-weapon and shield.  I think this is a better balance to play.

So here is the AD Warlord with Standard Bearer.  Still need to do the basing and the standard....

[Too Bo Coo]

Ok, I've finally finished with the Anglo-Dane Warlord.  Pretty happy.  As with the Vikings, I'll paint up another Warlord to use as a special character.

[Captain Blood]

Very nice TBC. They look great 

[Mitch K]

Smashing!

[Dr DeAth]

Very nice, particularly the shading on the cloak and the 'busy' groundwork on the base.

[Mason]

Oh, yes!

Just found this thread - great work on the GB plastics, you've really made them look different.

I feel very lazy as I pretty much just built them from the box, and bought some metal figures with dane axes. Need to play some more Saga, haven't had a game for ages.

Fantastic work on the warlord.  That will make a great looking saga force.
