They will make up the Warriors (as opposed to Hearthguard) for my Saga warband - 8 warriors counts as 1 point. Four points is a starter warband.
Initially, to keep costs low, I'll stick to 4 units of Warriors, which I can make from this one box of plastics. I'll pick up some Hirdmen, probably in metal since I only need a small number, after I've played a bit.
Admittedly, their shields can use some work, but overall, I'm happy with their appearance.

I was under the impression the box came with bases, but I might have misread that. I bought the box on ebay, so make of that what you will.
I ordered bases last week and they should be here in a few days.
Very nice. I'm planning to do some skirmish gaming myself but most likely in 10 or 15mm - My budget has seen enough blowouts this year

Thanks, Jacko! I'm trying to do this on the cheap by sticking to the one box of plastics and a single metal figure for the leader. The rulebook isn't cheap but fortunately, my future opponent already has it,and i'll play a few times before i decide if i'll invest in it myself.
DeleteCool
ReplyDeleteThis is a genre/era I've often thought about getting into, but I have plenty of other projects going on already, and not enough time. I do have a good few Vikings from Foundry and Celtos from whatever company they are from painted up. But those are pretty individualized characters for the most part. But even if I could make use of them there's still the issue of finding time to learn and play another new game besides all the other unplayed games I already have.
Still, I'll be interested to see how your stuff develops.
Hi Fitz-Badger,
DeleteYeah, learning a new game is hardly something that excites me, but i've looked at these and they don't look TOO bad (not as simple as i like, but then I think Morschauser is the height of awesome). As for finding time to play - I've been finding that board wargames really scratch that itch a lot more easily lately.
