Sherbert Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 So far I've finished exactly one unit of archers: It'll be another two weeks, maybe three, before I finish 4 pts worth. Gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gailbraithe Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thanks, everyone. Though the way the crossbowmen are coming, I feel these guys were a fluke. I did pick up the SAGA Paint Set from Army Painter though, and it has some great colors in it. Wool! Bleached wool! Nice dull greens and blues, and tanned leather! Its the first time I've ever seen a "leather brown" that was actually the color of 99% of the leather I've ever seen (i.e. saddle brown). Instead of that weird rawhidish color that every other leather brown is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wake up in a cold sweat imagining the day where my supply runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherbert Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 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.

Sherbert Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 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.
