Finished up some mercenaries. Irish Kern and Gallowglasses, Stradioti riders for the Condottieri.

I recently acquired the tools to make high quality decals – both printing them and generating suitable images. Where possible, I like to support artists so most of my shield decals and flags are from commercial suppliers, but I am now able to cover designs that aren’t available. Below are examples from this month. All for Saga Age of Chivalry.


Papal States Pavisiers and Swordsmen

German Pavisiers

French Pavisiers (with commercial decals)
The Irish have arrived…
I went with a wilder, more bare-skinned look to distinguish them from their other anglo-centric cousins. Also, lots of green and yellow tones to go with the style of the shields. Finally, I trimmed down all the shields to be more like bucklers – reflecting the faster “hit and run” style of the Irish.






More Valkyries. A command Hearthguard unit as well as one with Dane Axes. The heroes cover the general Warlord as well as any Heroes that my daughter might want to take. In their first game, the Valkyries/Jomsvikings soundly trashed my sons Vikings!

My daughter asked me for a SAGA warband but wanted women. So after some searching I went with Shadowforge Valkyries models. I am using Jomsvikings rules which seems to reflect their elite/angry style. Some minor conversions gave me four units of Hearthguard plus some additional models that are in progress.

Ragnar Lothbrok and, inspired by the great Vikings TV series, his brother Rollo (old Gripping Beast model).


Egil and some Viking Hirdmen.

Here comes the core of the Vikings. Two units of Bondi. I went with axes mostly to visually separate them from the spear-armed Anglo-Saxons.
