Thanks for comments, and for the welcome !

For the shields, I really like to use bright colors (maybe it's because I've spend years painting GW bretonnians...).


where did you get the kite shield from, I don't recall any in the Gripping Beast Saxons?
A friend of mine gave them to me (initially for my "dark age wood elves" for Warhammer Battle), but I think they come from Crusader Miniatures.
They are the only metal part I will use on this army.

For the moment, this projet is on stand-by, as I'm working on commission work for 40k, but I will post some pics of other minis in other sections of the forum - Mexican for Dead Man's Hand in the Old West section
- Samurais for Ronin in the Far East section
- lots of stuff (WHFB, Furie,...) in the Fantasy section.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Hahaha...
So you're lost !  :D
It seems that you have enough minis in those boxes to build 2 warbands.
Hope to see them soon on the forum !


For myself, I had my 2nd game at home last sunday, against some Scots :




Very fun game, with a draw as a result...

Well, being a descendant of the Vikings, it was only a matter of time...

I shall try to get some small warbands ready for some action using the SBH 'Song of Longships and Ravens' fan-made lists relatively fast after receiving the boxes (relatively fast can mean anything from a couple of weeks up to a couple of months - depending on real life influence on my hobby time). I already started a fantasy Viking rpg project with my daughters, so i have multiple purposes for getting some minis ready for the table  :D

Game looks ace!

With some friends, we had a little 2vs2 game 2 days ago.
Lots of fun, and some rude fights for the house in the center of the battlefield...





Now, I ust paint me more minis for my Saxons (I have 4 more huscarls on th desk) and start another warband to do some demos and play with my son...

Thanks for comments.

This week, I've decided to add some scenery to our SAGA gaming table.
So I built a little garden, and buy me 2 apple trees :



Now, I must finish my asian sceneries for our Ronin games...

First game of our campaign running until the end of september with 8 players.





I was the attacker, and lost the game because of the victory conditions.
But it was a moral victory as some of my anglo-danish warriors managed to kill the scot warlord (he will be missing the 3 next campaign battles, and is now seriously wounded as he has a missing limb).
