The completed 8 point army. |
When I got back into SAGA late last year (or rather go into it in the first place) I, obviously, needed some miniatures. Initially, I just used what I had available, which was quite a bit actually. The core of my Viking army was some Danes I had painted for a WAB Rus project several years ago. These are really great figures that had otherwise never been used. Late last year I also painted some new figures for SAGA - Thralls and Berzerkers. My latest effort, which brings me to completion for this project, is the rebasing of my Danes, the creation of a cool Warlord and painting up a couple of units of Bondi. This gives me 8 points so I should be able to create just about any Viking army I would like for SAGA.
The Warlord with his horn-blower and trusty standard barer. |
These are Gripping Beast metal figures that I based on a 50mm round wood base. The banner is reworked from one I downloaded from An Hour of Wolves & Shattered Shields site. |
One point of Gripping Beast Hirdmen. These have been rebased onto rounds. |
The second point of Gripping Beast Hirdmen. Several of these were equipped with spears and I change that to hand weapons. It just looks more heroic. |
The third point of Hirdmen. Also Gripping Beast metals as are the others. |
The fourth and final point of Gripping Beast Hirdmen. Sixteen of these should be plenty for just about any army build. |
A single point of Gripping Beast metal Berzerkers. One point is all you are allowed and these will likely be in most all armies I play. They are just too much fun! |
The second point of Bondi. These are the Viking Bondi figures from Wargames Factory. I really like these a lot. They are a very dynamic and characterful bunch of figures. |

Great figures and paint job.
nice
These look great Rob! I keep saying I'm going to re-do Vikings for Saga but never get around to it. I have my old WAB army, but I'd like to paint new models. This is a little bit of inspiration to start the project.
Excellent looking warband. Great to see hand-painted shields!
Thanks for the comments!
@Jerry - You need to jump in! There are some really cool things in plastic that make this a quick and cheap project.
Great looking force Robert! Hope to get this game back on the table soon!
Great looking viking force.
