Where wolf’s ears are, wolf’s teeth are near! – Volsunga Saga

Hi everyone,

I finished putting together the two characters for my force.  A lieutenant or hero and a priest or wizard depending on the setting. I will probably start painting these up first.

The rune stone on the priest was a scenic piece from the old Warlord Fantasy Mass Battle game system.  I have had this for over 20 years. I finally found a good use for it.

The hero is a Saga character called Gunnar from Gripping Beast. I took off the base and constructed a cork base.

I am now working on the warlord on beast which I will post on Thursday or Friday.

Until then, stay safe and have fun.

Regards,

Hi everyone,

Over the weekend I managed to put the werewolves together which I will use as creatures.  I bought these babies from the first or second Kickstarter from TTCombat.  They had an offer of 6 for the price of 3 – i.e. two of each.  They were being offer at a discount vis-a-vis the retail price at the time.

I have to say that I really like these models and I give them an ‘A‘ for concept and design, but a ‘B-‘ for casting. Two of the models came with big air bubbles on their snouts, the one on all fours had very ill fitting parts and most had broken parts (which I blame the packaging and postal service for in equal measure.

I needed four for the unit, so I took one of each of the three different models and another of the models with the air bubble snout (which I cut up and reposition slightly to add diversity).

Hopefully I will post more tomorrow night.  Probably the characters.  Until then stay safe and have fun.

Hi everyone,

So I started putting the fantasy element of my force together.  I’m doing this so I can start playing Age of Magic with my Vikings.

I have started with a frost giant from Reaper Miniatures.  It was a very simple build with little need for filling.  I did some base work with cork to give it that craggy nordic mountain look.

So that is all for this week. Sometime next week I will post the werewolves.  Until then stay safe and sane and …have fun.

Best regards,

Hi everyone,

Several yeas ago, I painted up 6 points of Vikings for Saga 1st edition. With the advent of Saga 2nd edition and Age of Magic, I want to expand my force to take advantage of the extra options in the army lists.

Below are the forces I want to paint up, but I have one self-imposed rule.  I will only use miniatures I already have in my collection.  I don’t wont to buy anything new. So here we go:

• One monster – probably a titan like a frost giant.
• One unit of creatures – these will be large werewolves.
• One priest/wizard character.
• One standard bearer.
• One lieutenant/champion on foot.
• One warlord on a beast.
• One more unit of hearth guard.
• One unit of thralls with bows.

With the parameters of the project established, I will start by assembling some of the fantasy elements in order to start playing as well.

So I hope to post some of the first pics of my new mini within the week.

Until then, stay safe and have fun with your projects,

NR
