Pre-Orders Live For Studio Tomahawk’s SAGA: Age Of Chivalry
November 6, 2024 by brennon
Pre-orders are now live from the folks at Gripping Beast for the newest supplement for the SAGA wargame. SAGA: Age Of Chivalry is available for you to snap up ahead of a prospective launch date of December.
SAGA: Age Of Chivalry // Studio Tomahawk
Inside this supplement, you'll find rules for playing out the conflicts between England, France and more during the period 1337 to 1453. This drops you right into the heart of the Hundred Years' War fighting with plate-armoured knights, grizzled footmen and the arrows from longbows flying through the sky.
Faction Rules // SAGA: Age Of Chivalry
The new supplement follows the core rules of SAGA but with a Medieval twist. That means new arms, armour and equipment for you to consider as well as different styles of fighting. All of this will come through in the different Battle Boards for the various powers like England and France.
The Burgundians // SAGA: Age Of Chivalry
As well as the rules, you'll also find details on the period and historical information that might inform your next army project. I like that you have the big hitters in there but also a lot of the allied nations that fought alongside them in those major conflicts or in minor conflicts of their own. It's not like there was a shortage of warfare during this period of Medieval history!
The supplement is currently available for pre-order right now although the December launch date could move. Additionally, Gripping Beast has opened up a new section of the website with Figure Packs for you to consider picking up to make your armies. Don't forget that Perry Miniatures also has an extensive range of plastic sets for this period that might be useful as a starting point as well.
Are you going to be tempted into the Age Of Chivalry with this new SAGA supplement?

Looks good and given that the Crusades books worked I cannot see this as being anything other than a success. Like most wargamers, I’m sure I will fork out £20+ to buy this at one point and then put it on a shelf. What is it about wargamers and filling bookshelves with rulebooks? On a trivial note, why do the pictures shown, presumably from the book, show wargames battles you cannot create with Saga? Both the charge of the French knights (hearthguards presumably) in the top picture and the mass of Burgundian archers have units well over 12 in strength… Read more »
I think it’s purely for the sake of eye-candy yes haha
It looks like multiple minis on one base, so that could be a way around the numbers. So like 3 knights on a base = 1 hearthguard or something.
£60 the buy-in for the rules and both dice sets which arguably I don’t need but am excited to get. Busy looking up Hussite miniatures for no particular reason.
I do love the Hussites…
Looking forward to seeing this new age book, I still think the Vikings is the best age for the game but I’m hopeful this may mix that up!
