Levy & Terrain

As much as I try to personalize each SAGA force – instead of just using the same generic warriors for all warbands – I draw the line at levies. Poorly trained peasants should pretty much look the same regardless of whether they be Saxon, Danes or any other of the cultures of the British Isles. Thus, I made a generic levy version of all the typical options: two units with javelins, two units of slingers, two units of bows. Probably overkill but hey, painting hundreds of figures for a Dark Age skirmish game is overkill in the first place. The figures are a mix of plastic kits from different manufacturers as well as some metal figures for variety.

SAGA mostly uses standard field terrain,. but I painted up some MDF pre-cut houses to give a Dark Age flair as well as a small boat for raiding scenarios. SAGA also heavily relies on counters which, to be more visually attractive, are made from bases with little counter-wheels in them and figures on top. The little raven markers serve to indicate unit fatigue.
