Saga New Painting.

Painted these last evening.
The Start of my Anglo Danish Warband.
They are nearly finished, a few bits of highlighting.
I purchased some shield decals from ebay, I know its a cop out, but I really dont have the time to paint shields and they are, at the end of the day, just for gaming with.

Huscarle Standard Bearer

I am currently painting British Peninsular for Lee, cavalry again today.

First Saga unit, Viking Hearthguard

Mmmmm, paint the shields or get some decals.
The battle flag decals are sweeeeet, but a tenner a throw, although you do get 44  and a flag.
Time to ponder on this I think.

New Painting, Viking Warlord for Saga

My First attempt at A Viking Warlord.
Plastic, from the Gripping Beast Hirdmen box set.
Just cant decide whether to paint the shield or use a decal and need to finish the base.

These are very easy to put together and I do like the GP plastics.
I also have some Wargames Factory Saxons, these I am not as keen on and will require a lot more work to assemble, the weapons are to thin and small.
I think I will mix and match with both the GBP and the WF.
I aim to create two warbands initially, Anglo Danes and Vikings.

My First Introduction to Saga

Well!!
I played my first game of Saga last night.
Andy from Terra Firma popped over with two Viking warbands.
I had never played before and I must say that I really enjoyed it.
What was really nice was the fact that I didnt have to do anything for a change.
Well except to place four boards on the table.
Saga is a really fun game, easy to grasp the basics, but getting to know your battle board is where the skill comes into it.
I did manage to win my first game (with a lot of help from Andy), I would not like to play him competitively yet, lol.
Saga is something I would now be interested in playing, you dont need masses of miniatures or a huge table.
Its quick and you always get a result after a couple of hours play, deffo recommended.
I would like to thank Andy for a great evening of mayhem and for taking the time out of his busy schedule to show me the Saga system, cheers Buddy
