The Armies
So it begins with the two armies. I purchased two Victrix backs of 60 soldiers from their Vikings and Anglo-Saxons range, as these seemed to us to be the most typical for the scope and feel of the games we want to play.
Victrix packs are greatThe building of the armies will use most of the figures available in the Victrix packs.
My idea is to allow some flexibility and so I will make 1 x Leader and 2 groups each of Hearthguard, Warriors and general Levies. This should allow me to create 6 points of an army which I think gives the ability to field different types of forces as I expect we will usually play 4 point games.
This left a few “extra” men which included priests and standard bearers. I might “flex” the rules to attach one of these to my Leader, although the recommended base size seems a tight fit. More on that later, I think once building starts.
My son went a slightly different route and is thinking of his Leader, then to make 3 x Hearthguard, 2 x Warriors and 1 x Levies. Now, this might change during the building, so we’ll see.
Lots of glue and mild frustration to come as we work our way through the mildly confusing Victrix building steps!
