After much teasing of the pendraken miniatures on the site I could no longer resist and have bought my first two army’s. I have gone for the Goblin army and have picked up the Anglo-Saxon war band to turn in to my human faction. Also I have got the Warband, Dragon Rampant, Dux Bellorum, oathmark battles of the lost age and the Warmaster Rule books to go through and work out base sizes and how I will be playing the games.

The Start

Starting on the orc Archers.

Next up the saxons need some cavalry so got some late roman Cataphracts with kontos and some Arthurian personalities for the command. A roman catapult for some long range and some Armed monks to use as the magic troops when up against the orcs.Next up the saxons need some cavalry so got some late roman Cataphracts with kontos and some Arthurian personalities for the command.
