Matching Stuff

 

Been a bit busy recently, but have managed to paint a few things that fit in with existing warbands. I found a giant from Old School Minis that fits perfectly with my sea-dwarf warband ogres. Found a couple of flies that go with my Festival of Fester warband. I really needed a bit of flying coz it complements the Otherworld battleboard so nicely. Old School Minis also does these toad-ogre-things which fits well with my chaos toads, giving me the option of Quadruped and Biped Creatures.

And last, and probably least, I painted the pips of 36 ivory d6's in order to have a dice set that matches the Carthaginian Saga dice. Don't judge me.

Carthginian Army

I feel like I have finished this army. Hopefully they will get to fight  someone soon. Inevitably, I've still got a few bits from Victrix to make and paint up, but the army is finished for now.

Gallic Cavalry

Finished my gallic cavalry which is my last planned job for Saga AoH. I have some Greek style  infantry to do, but won't be doing that for a while. Which means, for the first time since forever, I don't have anything on my to do list.

Iberian Warband

I've finally finished a fieldable Iberian warband that seemed to be taking ages. They seem fun to play. They don't have a lot of hitting power but their unique guerrilla mechanic moves them in your opponent's turn, and makes them pretty tricky.

This is all I can field at the moment, but I have 8 more warriors, 8 more slinger warriors, and 12 more levy javelins in the pipeline to make them a bit more flexible.

I played them against my Romans and they were pretty good, although I was trying out a new extreme Roman formation of 8 units of 6 warriors and a Tribune, which made them very fragile.

Festival of Fester

 

Pretty much finished my Carnival of Chaos, Circus of Corruption warband. Seems like a decent enough memento of the great plague of 2020-21. I like the theme and scheme of the army, but it still doesn't really make a decent Saga:AoM warband. I feel like I need a flying Sorcerer and a Scourge (Flying) to round it out, so will be on the lookout for suitable models.

Saga Italian Tribune Warband

 I decided to paint another 16 Italian warriors, and go for this all-warrior + Tribune build for my Roman Saga warband. The build is a bit counter-intuitive, and has a massive Achilles heel, the weakened warlord has no bodyguard, and you get extra punished if he dies. But I thought I'd give it a go, to see whether the Tribune's extra We Obey could make the difference.

Chuhuac Test

 

Have bought some Loud Ninja 15mm Chuhuac, and painted a few up to see how they would look. I feel like this is a decent enough colour scheme for them.

Iberian Cavalry

Had a bit of a break from painting, but have now finished some Iberian Cavalry, to go with my javelins and slingers. Just need to finish 3 points of warriors to complete the warband.
