Anglo-Saxon Fyrd for SAGA Northern Fury

Ahhh the best laid plans of mice and men...

Alright, I had some time set aside! As so often happens, life interjected itself in the form of leaky pipes and broken light fixtures. Needless to say, the eight Saxon Fyrd with spear we started last week for an additional point of warriors to use in SAGA are complete!

As we mentioned last post, they're from Crusader Miniatures who have a nice selection of dark age figures.

These are all metal and spears are not included so you'll need to supply your own.

There's not as much detail as the plastic box sets like the Saxon Thegns from Gripping Beast, but there isn't any assembly time other than gluing on the shields and spears. You can prime these guys and get right to painting!

Here's another angle showing the secondary weapons for these Saxons.

Fun to paint and fairly quick package to table time frame as long as life doesn't have other plans!

Have a Great Battle,

SAGA Northern Fury and Anglo-Saxon Warriors

SAGA is back in the forefront with the release of the first expansion "Northern Fury" last month. Still hard to get in the states but we'll manage till then. Its a 22 page, full colour beauty with 4 new Battleboards!

You'll get the Anglo-Saxon, Breton, Jomsvikings and Scots to take on the original four warbands in the Vikings, Normans, Welsh and Anglo-Danish. Can't wait to try them out!

We're preparing these 8 Saxon Fyrd from Crusader Miniatures to use as Warriors with spear for the start of an Anglo-Saxon warband or to add another point to Breas-Danaan's Anglo-Danish warband. Here's the first five just about finished basecoating and ready for detailing. Have some time set aside to try and finish them this weekend.

We'll post final pictures soon!

Have a Great Battle!
