“When they strike they inflict a dreadful wound, deadly where it lighteth” – SAGA Scots project pt.3

Greetings cattle thieves and vagabonds! Welcome back to another article covering the muster of my Scots warband for SAGA. In the previous part I covered the bulk of my army, namely the Kern and Irish runaways, seeking fame and fortune within the ranks of a Galloglass raiding force. In this article I will show you my first unit of painted Galloglass, as well as talking about the material culture of the Scottish mercenaries roaming the countryside of Ireland and the Hebrides.

“Loose young men” and violent desperados! SAGA Scots project pt.2

Greetings and welcome back to the Den of Procrastination! Some years ago I set out on a journey to paint and collect a new SAGA army of Scots. I even blogged about the plausability of a high medieval Scottish army of rebels in this post but failed to summon enough Mojo to carry through. At least in the sense of completing the army within reasonable time. Fast forward a couple of months and there’s still no army to be seen – but I HAVE been stroking along on a miniature-by-miniature basis. In this post I’m going to revisit the Scots project and showcase some progress of my redshank troublemakers.

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae – Taking the Crusaders to a SAGA tournament

Greetings pilgrims, and welcome back to another SAGA article! Over the past weeks I have delved deeply into SAGA 2nd edition in order to practice for an upcoming tournament. Transitioning my Crusader army from the old edition meant I had to paint up some additional miniatures, and in order to get used to the new battleboard I played around 10 games – mostly against the Islamic armies, vikings of different flavour, and the Greco-Roman chads of the Byzantine Empire. In this article I’ll share my thoughts on the Crusader army after snagging a first place with three straight wins at a small tournament held at the local club here in Malmö, Sweden.

Warlord Games Sd.kfz.251/10 Unboxing and speedbuild.

Hello again and welcome back reader! Here’s a little treat for your lunch break. While browsing for inspiration I found out that there was a complete lack of good reviews and close-ups of this kit, so I decided to make my own. Unfortunately I managed to cover up my mic while recording – which means that the voice over volume is quite low for the most part of the video. At least you can enjoy watching the speed build from sprue to the finished model!
