SAGA battle report

Managed to get 2 games of SAGA in over the weekend against my brothers Normans. 5 points my Vikings against his Normans. First game was a straight up Kill the Warlord scenario.

Initial deployments.

Hearthguard ready for action.

Normans move off the hill.

Sneaky Bezerkers hiding.

Norman knights gearing up to charge.

Battle lines about to clash.

ODIN!!! Victorious bezerkers see off the Norman Warlord.


Second game was the Sacred Ground scenario.

Vikings make an early rush to the hill to start scoring victory points.

Gulp, Normans prepare to remove me from the hill.

Ouch, the melee didn't go so well.

Bezerkers strike again.

Finished off by a crossbow, that's no way for a viking to die, victory goes to the Normans.

Also managed to finish of my final point of Bondi.

After seeing this thread i have been inspired to have a go myself and have bought one of the Revell viking ship kits. Bit nervous has i am getting to the point when i am going to try and waterline her, got myself a circular saw blade for my Dremel that should do the job, will keep you updated.

More Hearthguard

Completed 1 more point of Hearthguard for my SAGA Vikings. That just leave 1 more point of Bondi and i will have the full 6 points painted.

Managed to get the first game in against my brothers Normans the other weekend. Spent most of the game trying to learn the new rules. Think we got most of it right. Really enjoyed it, seemed fast and lots to think about with the battleboards. Plan to get a few games in over the festive period,

Also completed some ancient Lusitanian's  for a commission.

SAGA progression 2

Finished of another point of Bondi for my growing SAGA viking warband.

Managed to get a 4 point warband painted and my brother has started on his Norman warband. The plan is to get our first games in over the Christmas holidays. In an effort to try and get an early psychological advantage I  have gathered my forces together for a group shot.

Saga progression

Steadily working on my SAGA Viking Warband. My brother has settle on the Normans and i have finished my Warlord and a group of Bondi to take it up to 2 points worth. Most of the new figures are from Foundry, the horn player behind the Warlord is from Gripping Beast. Shield transfers and banner from lbms.

Some more SAGA Warlords

Photos of some more SAGA Warlords. First up a Saxon Command stand then a Viking Warlord. All figures from Gripping Beast.

Harald Hardradda

Real enjoyed painting this figure up from Gripping Beast. He's a big guy compared to some of the other figures in their range, but looks suitable heroic.  Spent ages trying to get the shield design looking right.
