Saga Age of Magic Undead Warband

 

I thought that I would take a look at my Undead Warband for Age of Magic, just to see what I've actually got done & what they look like altogether as all I've done so far is paint them & shove them in a case!! 

I have really enjoyed painting these, especially as Forlorn Hope Games/Moonraker Miniatures (or whatever they are called) has got a lot of the old Bob Naismith Grenadier UK figures recast, & back in the last century, I had a Warhammer Army mainly using these figures & of course I sold it a long time ago & have had to rebuy them! 

There are still a couple more units of warriors to paint up, 3 foot necromancers & , 1 mounted one (I think I may have too many!) 6 Cavalry & 2 units of Hearthguard! As well as the rest of The Gripping Beast Mindless!

                                        

Undead Sacred Ground for Saga Age of Magic

I’ve been working on a piece of special terrain for Saga Age of Magic. 

This is a free upgrade for your Warband that allows you to raise more troops whilst using the Necromancy spells. Every Warband has access to a peice of sacred ground terrain, each being catered to the Warband being used.

I picked up a selection of  gravestones through swaps on LAF & bought the crypt off eBay. 

For the base I used an off cut of plastic fascia, as it is thick enough to dig out in front of some of the graves to represent where the Undead have risen from their graves.

I cut up some flat plastic bases to make some extra flagstones & made a base texture paste from white glue, one strike wall filler & various grades of sand.
Then chucked some paint at it. 

Problem I’m now facing is I couldn’t be bothered to sort out the joins in the crypt! 😞

Now they’re bothering me 😂

Undead for Saga Age of Magic

I’ve been slowly working on a Undead Warband for Saga Age of Magic & have finally got somewhere like a reasonably painted force to think about playing with.

Here’s the pictures ( of course there’s all the Zombies, Vampire, giant bat & possibly the werewolves [they are more likely to end up with the Vikings along with the wolves though] that I’ve already shown)

Random Fantasy Miniatures Photo Dump

Here’s a dump of photos of Fantasy stuff that I’ve been painting for Rangers of Shadow Deep, Saga Age of Magic & just because I wanted to 😁

First up a collection of Zombies from different manufacturers, a halfling Michael Jackson impersonator (haven’t got a clue where I got this from!) then a Bad Squiddo Revenant followed by a R Squared Zombie from the Zombie Plague Kickstarter 

Next a couple of old citadel Undead Figures, a Zombie & a Ghoul

Yet More Undead, this time Two Skeletal Ogres. These are from Ral Partha Europe (I think)

Here are some superb Goblin Archers from Outlaw Miniatures

This is the fantastic Pact Devil from Bears Head Miniatures

Followed by A Heresy Miniatures Vampire and Goblinn Hero

Some Gripping Beast fantasy figures released at Halloween last year,
at the top is the Grendel & below him is a Witch

And last but no means least is this is the superb Old School Bugbear from Meridian Miniatures,
absolutely loved painting this & cant wait for the rest of the Bugbears to be delivered.  

Gripping Beast Revenants

Came across some pictures of a unit of Gripping Beast Revenants that I had painted back in April, whilst working away from home., that I’m sure I never posted.

I bought these in the Revenants Ltd Saga box set, & always really liked them, but never seemed to be able to motivate myself to paint them. So I thought with the imminent (at the time) release of age of magic I would take them away with me & start painting them.

The only problem being, was that the light was appalling in the room that I was staying in & I had only brought a small portable light with me!
So the skin tone ended up being very blue instead of grey! They were supposed to look like the Grenadier Undead Barbarian that I had previously painted!
But anyway they are done & have been killed many times in Rangers of Shadow Deep 😂

BEARS HEAD MINIATURES UNDEAD RHINO

I recently got a miscast from Bears Head Miniatures of their Undead Rhino.
To be honest I had always thought, why would you need an Undead Rhino 😞
How wrong could I have been this is an amazing miniature, superbly sculpted & considering it’s supposed to be a ‘miscast’ 😳😳 it bloody brilliant.
As you may be able to tell I quite like this figure, I may have to get one that’s not a miscast to compare them.
I will be using this in my games of Saga Age of Magic fantasy supplement.

I painted it using a base of  slate grey, highlighted up by adding beige’s & rotting flesh with a wash of blues & browns. The ‘meaty’ parts were painted using a base of red tail light & highlighted again with beige & Zombie flesh & light brown wash. The bone was painted with a grey/brown, highlighted again with beige & Z flesh washed brown.

Hope you like this miniature as much as I do.

Cheers
Keith
