Saga Scots and the End of the Year

The medieval Scots are joining my collection. I still need to paint some men-at-arms but a horde of pikemen are ready for duty.

This also concluded 2025 for me as I am off for a trip. The year so 2,092 figures getting painted with my Napoleonics (1,306) and Saga Age of Chivalry (677) making up the bulk of new additions. I have another ~600 Prussians to paint for Waterloo – then ~5k French later. For Saga, it is now on to the Age of Crusades where ~400 figures away on assembly strips. Add a few extra projects and that will make for a delightful 2026.

Saga Normans

Over the last little while I painted some old boxes of Conquest Norman figures for a warband purchased over a decade ago. Working down the mountain…

More Saga Age of Chivalry

A few more assorted units. I now have pages up for the Papal States, War of the Roses, French, and Germans. More to come.

SAGA Germans

I have jumped knee-deep into the new Age of Chivalry supplement for Saga. The first force to be fully painted are my new Germans of the Holy Roman Empire.

SAGA Romans

Last weekend I had the privilege of participating in a local SAGA tournament and won a box of Gripping Beast plastic figures. Add a bit of paint, and here we have a small Roman warband for the Age of Invasions.

SAGA Irish

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.

SAGA Valkyries Part 2

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!

SAGA Valkyries

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.
