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.

  2. That's a nice looking warband, I only wish I'd made similar progress on my Norman warband

  3. Looking very nice! A bit more practise is needed, me thinks!

    1. I hope you are more successful with your Saxons. Practice may help but lack of talent is insurmountable.

  4. They look very jolly.
    Though I remain unconvinced by the WF plastics. Wish GB would hurry up with their unarmoured blokes.

    1. I found WF look better if you file down the necks. One ca't do anything about the strange arm poses though.
