SAGA - Saxons + Irish

[Jeff965]

Welcome Eric, lovely painting the shields just seem to glow 

[tancrede]

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!

I guess I'll soon have to cave in and order some of GB's excellent plastics!

Which I did today after receiving my paycheque for a fourtnight of freelancing.

Viking Hirdmen, Anglo-Saxon Thegns, and Dark Age Warriors. Should keep me busy for quite a while

Hahaha...
So you're lost ! 
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 

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...

[mikeygees]

Very lovely Saxons.

[Macaffey]

Excellent Minis Eric!

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...

[Hu Rhu]

Oooh what green fingers you have. 

Nice terrain.

[rumacara]

Lovelly terrain.
Keep it coming.

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).
