SAGA Unveils the Threat of the Skraelings for Salute 2012!
April 19, 2012 by brennon
As if their latest expansion Northern Fury wasn't enough, the minds behind SAGA are unleashing the Skraelings on your poor unsuspecting Viking invaders! Check out the set that will be available from Gripping Beast at Salute on Saturday!
This set will feature one Warlord, a bunch of Warriors and a handful of Levy troops to make up the numbers. While not at all like their previous releases these are something pretty special. It really opens up the types of games you could play with the world of SAGA.
They get their own A4 rules sheet as well as a new Battleboard, which works with any set of SAGA dice. These are going to be in short supply at the event so you better head over and grab them if they take your fancy.
Will you push back the invading Vikings?
I foresee a lot of interest from people looking for aggressive Native American figs – good sculpts too. Could even be suitable for post-apoc with some guns added, perhaps slung on the back if not in the hand.
So skraelings are world of SAGA’s version of Native Americans. I must admit that these are not what I was expecting but then again this is nice suprise so I am not complaining.
No Skraelings are what the Vikings called the Native Americans, there’s a difference. What is “world of Saga”?
native american IG. dam i always get these ideas and have them on the burner but never follow through.
Oh god. there is so much i want to buy on Saturday they have now gone and put more temptation in my path.
Not only will these be good for Saga games against Vikings but also there is quite a bit of scope for other scenarios. I can’t think of any other native american figures on the market with flint weapons.
How did I miss them the 1st time around ?
