Saga Undead




Finished 8 points of undead for Saga. This looks a bit more like a traditional Saga warband. I might even get rid of the Ushabti, which are fielded as Creatures, and go for another unit of skeleton Warriors.

The thing about the undead is that they keep coming back to haunt you; you can replenish damaged units with Saga abilities. This makes them pretty annoying. There are not a lot of combat buffs on their Battle Board, but there are a few cheap activations and a couple of replenishments, so this is where their power lies. They even have a way to take casualties to slough fatigue, so coupled with replenishment of those very casualties, this is a decent way to get rid of fatigue.

You also get to combine your Warlord figure and your Sorceror figure into a Necromancer (essentially a Sorceror with We Obey) which effectively gives you an extra Army Point to play with. This also means you really need to keep it alive.

I also found a cheap paperweight type ornament which works as a decent Sacred Ground marker.

I decided to go for big units (coz you can't replenish completely destroyed units) and my first effort at a warband looks like this and generates a decent 7 Saga Dice:

Necromancer
2 Ushabti (Bipedal Creatures)
4 Hearthguard
24 Warriors (in 2 units of 12)
24 Warriors with Bows (in 2 units of 12)
