New Arthur Pendragon Leads The Britons To Victory

Gripping Beast showed off their newest take on Arthur Pendragon, a great leader for you to use in your games set during the Dark Age after the fall of the Roman Empire.
Arthur would make a great warlord for your games of SAGA, be they set during the Dark Age or within the realm of Fantasy. Since sources surrounding who he really was cross between myth, legend and reality it's hard to pin down anything accurate about it.
That means that he would be perfect as the leader of your human force in a game of Age Of Magic. You could have him at the head of an army of Britons alongside Merlin and his fellow knights, tackling all kinds of monstrous beasts.
Arthur here has been portrayed as a cavalry commander, using many of the Roman tactics he may have inherited to defend Albion from assault on all sides. He does look like he could use a shield though right?
What do you think of their take on Arthur?

I wondered whether this might herald the announcement of an “Age of Arthur” book, but they seem happy with the current edition from before Saga II. As Studio Tomahawk put it: “The Aetius & Arthur: Age of Invasions supplement was the last to be released for the first edition of Saga. It was written with one eye on the second edition, and is mostly compatible with it. Nevertheless, due to certain changes in the revised rules, some elements of the book require an update.” Those updates are now available and if you buy the book from Gripping Beast you get… Read more »
