SAGA Practice Game

Anglo Danes on the left and Normans on the right. This was my first game with the models I painted in February while I was in Afghanistan. I am gearing up for another game at Great Hall this Friday

Anglo-Danes For SAGA

My Anglo-Danes have two 8 man units of warriors, one 12 man unit of levy archers, 8 hearthguard with Danish axes, and a warlord also equipped with an axe. I am waiting until I return to flock the melted snow bases and apply decals to the shields which I am leaving primed black for now. I am going to take a couple of nights off then start my Normans. I have enough figs for a mounted Norman warlord, 12 mounted hearthguard, and one unit of dismounted warriors with swords and spears. Once I get home I am adding bow-armed levies and a unit of Flemish warriors armed with crossbows. I read that the Normans are a challenge to play since charging units are fatigued automatically so I may add a standard bearer as well.

It will be interesting to see how the Normans tackle an all-infantry warband especially Scots with spears or Anglo-Danes with axes.

 

 

SAGA Update--Anglo-Dane Archers

SAGA month continues as I put the finishing touches on these archers tomorrow. Next it will be on to the two units of warriors in the background and then 2 units housecarlswith chain mail and Danish axes. I am going with a mixed snow-grass base since it is supposed to represent Northern Europe and Britain. I need to brush up their faces and add some detail to the bows and quivers and then apply an inkwash.

SAGA Anglo-Danes WIP

This is my first batch of models for my SAGA Anglo-Dane warband. Models are unarmored Saxons from the wargames factory "Hammer of the Gods" series. I'll prime tonight and hopefully start painting tomorrow.
I have one 8 man group of levies armed with bows and 2 8-man groups of warriors. I will be using Conquest Games Norman infantry as hearthguard since some of them are covered in chainmail and can be equipped with double-handed Danish axes.
