Torg Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 I only have one question currently, I picked up some Normans Box (4pts) and some extra blisters of Norman Spearmen to get my force to 6pts max. I picked up a Duke and Retainers on eBay ... I am guessing he can replace my warlord which is mounted in the Norman box - as an option. But how do I deal with the retainers? I looked for rules but found nothing about retainers - aside from possibly bodyguards? Also, to I mount the retainers on the same base as the Duke or on separate bases? -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 It’s common practice in Saga to base your Warlord on a larger base than standard infantry, with most players taking advantage of the extra room to make little mini dioramas. A king and his bannerman, a Roman Legion Legate and a couple of runners, that sort of thing… (Go look at Koyote’s thread for inspiration). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 While retainers have no specific meaning as a game term in saga, there are a couple of things you could choose to do with those figures. The first, which Ish suggested, is to make a diorama of your Warlord, on anything up to a 60mm base. The second is to interpret your retainers as hearthguard (who are fielded as units of 4 or more models on foot or mounted). Your warlord has a special rule that allows you to sacrifice the lives of nearby hearthguard to prevent hits that they would suffer. So keeping a few hearthguard in close proximity of your warlord is prudent gameplay. Finally, there is a hero called a personal champion, who you may take as a single figure that provides a few protective benefits when they are near your warlord. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 COOL - Ok - will think about how to use them. I believe there are 4 retainers in the blister so a Hearthguard unit would be a good option. - hmmm on second glance I think I may only have 3 retainers - but I will do something to round that up to 4 if needed. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
