Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)

Episode VII: The Saxons, the Saxons
My first SAGA army is complete and it, as befits a son of Wessex such as myself, is Saxon: I use the Anglo-Danish Battleboard.
It is a standard 6 point SAGA army with:
3 Hearthguard units (left front) of four models each,
2 Warrior units (right front) of eight models each,
1 unit of cannon fodder (rear) of twelve models, and
the Warlord himself (centre front).
I took them out for a trial on Sunday and was soundly slaughtered by the Vikings.
Clearly, Harold Godwinson, you are not. :)
ReplyDeleteSadly not.
DeleteLooking good, John ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you.
DeleteThat's a nice looking warband, I only wish I'd made similar progress on my Norman warband
ReplyDeleteHaving retired, sort of, helps.
DeleteLooking very nice! A bit more practise is needed, me thinks!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are more successful with your Saxons. Practice may help but lack of talent is insurmountable.
DeleteThey look very jolly.
ReplyDeleteThough I remain unconvinced by the WF plastics. Wish GB would hurry up with their unarmoured blokes.
I found WF look better if you file down the necks. One ca't do anything about the strange arm poses though.
