Norman Knights for SAGA

Hi Guys,


Bet you didn't think I would follow with an update so quickly after the first!

I picked up a box of Conquest Games Norman Knights.  They are a nice plastic set which allow for easy conversions and are nicely detailed which I hope my photos display below.

You will notice that all have had the plastic spears removed and replaced with Brass Wire Spears.  I have  young kids and the chance of a few breakages are pretty good.

Parts are included for a command group including a Lord, Musician, and Banner/Pennant Bearer.

The casualty base is a very nice touch as well

Lastly in the box Renedra Bases are included (both single and double cavalry bases - 4 of each).  I decided to magnetise the bases for storage and transport using 3 mm diameter rare earth magnets.

I am very happy with the Conquest Games Normans and am looking to add more for my SAGA Army.  I may even extend the collection for playing larger Clash of Empires or Hail Caesar games.  Mmmmm Crusades .......

We are due to play SAGA again in around two weeks and I hope to have some paint on them by then!


Happy Gaming,

Allan

SAGA - Dark Ages Skirmish Gaming

Hi Guys,

Update time again - Finally!!

Over the last month or so a good friend has introduced me to SAGA a Dark Ages Skirmish Game.

SAGA by Tomahawk Studio is well worth looking at providing an enjoyable game with not too many figures.  I will not ramble too much about the game but here are a few links for those interested:

Studio Tomahawk Forums

SAGA Products - released through Gripping Beast

Needless to say the game has grown in popularity that many other gaming stores sell it as well but at least the above links point you in the right direction.

Fans have even created 100 Years War and Ancient Greek Iliad variants which are available on the forums (from memory).

Best of all, any miniature range goes!

More to follow!


Happy Gaming,

Allan
