well here ya go, my almost finished warlord. The bodyguard will be holding a big flappy banner, but I ran out of metal rod that is strong enough to hold up. Im thinking of putting some accessories around the warlords belt like a knife or some small pouches.

get your dirty infinity out of the Saga thread!

good, now go buy things.

I sent Joey a txt but ill post it here as well for others to see. I played the Anglo-Dane ability 'Noble Lineage' wrong last night. When changing a die to a different face you must discard a dice instead of changing the face of the die used for the ability. The Saga board is a little vague but the explanation in the book is a lot more clear. I might suggest to others to read the descriptions of the abilities in the book to catch little discrepancies like these because it would have changed Joey and my game last night a lot.

I challenge you, Joey to Saga since your ear got in the way last week. I will crush your scots with Anglo-Danes.

there are a lot of boards down there at the moment. The RoBB that you brought in is on another board and a second board would just replace a board we already have. They would be good to have for tournaments, but until Nathaniel figures out how he wants to back room it might be too much.

Update time! I finished the second unit of 8 warriors. I tried putting on a thicker coat of weathering powder and then applying less matt varnish which I think worked a bit better. Next on the list is finishing the warlord. Once he is done ill either start work on painting my hearthguard or start building some levies for larger games.

so im confused. John, are you getting a game with Jim or are we playing Saga?

Hey Raak, none of us have completely painted stuff so its ok. We could do a couple of practice 4pt games. Friendlycommissar and I were finishing games in about an hour so we could get at least 2 games in if we start at 6. Have you had a chance to read any of the rules yet?

im looking for some Saga. I might have my other unit finished by tuesday and I want to push them around on a table.

not that I know of. So I found out the answer to our rules question Friendlycommissar. Enemy models do not get to move once engaged. There is a diagram on page 33-34 that shows a charged unit fighting in place. This mean that how you move units is very important for receiving charges. i think what that paragraph was talking about that confused us so much is that models may move within VS of enemy models once the two units have been engaged in combat.

Greyson bought a motorcycle a couple of months ago along with my roommate. They go on rides together.

I finally finished the first unit of warriors. I tried a couple of new techniques with these guys. The first was the use of Secret Weapon pigments. I did a heavy drybrush and then sprayed matt varnish over it. It worked, but about 80% of the color disappeared which was unfortunate. The second was the use of army painter flowers. They were a little odd to deal with and I suspect they will become easier to use for the second unit, but over all I like them. The image of big burly vikings slaying peasants in a field of flowers was too much to pass up. Overall I like them but will have to experiment with different techniques for the pigments.

I have a game of fantasy set up but I would be down to play on Wednesday night.

My SAGA BOOK SHOWED UP! Joey I challenge you to combat, my swords are the crow bringers, my axes are the wolf bringers, I am thunder and death and I will end the line of the kings of Scotland. Also if you could bring that base for warlords, the one that I ordered is way too big.

I think what Fix is trying to say is that he is in love.

I friend of mine has been searching around for historical models that fit into Saga. Turns out early middle ages has been largely ignored by a lot of companies and most of the models are not super high quality. He did however find this company. http://www.musketeer-miniatures.com/index.php I have been considering doing Anglo-Saxons as my second warband and these models have sealed the deal. Look through the early Saxon and Goths stuff.

Thanks for the comments guys. Brick- yes they are Wargames factory Bondi and Huscarl models. I finished the last of the warriors and took some pics of my wip warlord. and the warlord. There will be a second model standing on the back rock with a banner, but he is very much wip right now. Im going to base everything later today and hopefully prime them later this week. Maybe by the end of the week I could even start painting. Im not holding my breath though.

awesome. Hopefully my book will be here by then.

damn dude, those look good. Would you be down to get some games in on Wednesday. All three of us could show up and trade off games. Im getting super close to having my warband built but I probably wont start painting until the end of next week.

and the warriors I noticed that two warriors did not get pics. Ill take some when I finish the other 4 warriors. Really looking forward to being done so I can start painting. I want to go all out with their shields to set them apart. C&C very much welcome.

Hey everyone. A couple of people in Bham have decided to play Saga. Now I love me some Vikings so there was no way I wasn't going to play the marauding Norsemen. What I really like about playing Vikings is that I can easily use them as several different Norse based factions for when I get bored of playing the Viking faction. I started out using Wargames Factory Bondi and Huscarl warriors. The model are alright. They were super cheap so I cant complain, but some of them have awkward poses and the heads are pretty bland. So I wanted to make them stick and really applied my sculpting abilities. Unfortunately its been awhile since Ive sculpted and I started out working on the elite troops which was a mistake. Once I realized how rusty I was I decided to save the warlord for last. I have almost finished my 4pt warband which is the lowest you can play. I only have the warlord and 4 warriors left before I can start painting. Daneaxe Huscarls. Normal Huscarls

whelp I broke down and just ordered the rulebook and bases from Gripping Beast. Hopefully it will be here by next week. I should also be finishing my 4pt warband this week so is anyone interested in getting a game in next week. I will have Tuesday and Wednesday off. Tuesday i should use to get another practice game of fantasy in for OFCC but im free Wednesday. I would really like to start sticking axes into your guys faces.

I found Joey when he becomes a father. http://imgur.com/gallery/GxJ8MuQ

LIES AND SLANDER!
