Saga Scots Warband

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Saga Scots Warband

Post by BP » Fri Jun 22, 2012 4:52 pm

Not a warband for the over 55's (although a few do have white/grey hair) ;)

This is the first 2 points of Hearthguard, warriors and levies to follow.

First things I've painted in a while, should get onto the rest of them when I return from a - and windswept trip to the western isles.

Looking good. I'm pretty sure that's one of the Corries in the red and white.

That's a very nice force Bill, one day I must get around to trying out the Saga rules and see how they work.

Who is the manufacturer of the tuft's you have used? They look very dense.

Best Wishes,
Günter

Thanks chaps.

Saga is a good fun game, beer and pretzels at its finest.

Gunter, the tufts are by Mininatur, I use shorter ones than most people do, which probably accounts for there denser appearance. Also the purplish ones are not tufts as such, they are the strips they make, roughly cut and stuck down, and they are noticeably denser than all the others - makes a decent approximation of dense gorse.

Bill.

And if yes which codes did you use?

Thx
