SAGA: Ages of Ages
Mamertine Tyrant
The army commander is a mounted tryant with his accompanying standard bearer. The standard bearer’s shield features the Trinacria (Gk: triskelion), the three-legged symbol of Sicily (LBMS 1/72nd again). Although dubbed a tryant this didn’t carry the same negative conotation of its current use in English. Tyrant (Gk: tyrannos) was just the word for the ruler of a polis.
The general is from Crusader Miniatures, his standard bearer and delightfully armoured horse are both Redoubt Enterprises with a small conversion to add extra feathers taken from a Victrix sprue. A Warlord Games Cesarean bull icon was used to form the banner along with some greenstuff streamers.
