Loki's SAGA Irish

Loki and I have a little Community Currency trade on the go I am painting and providing an Irish SAGA force and Loki is kitting me out with wargames terrain so I can once again game at home. I had agreed to create a 6pts SAGA force but once I started I got a little carried away and have ended up painting 9pts. The Irish can swap Hearthguard for champions so one unit of 4 Hearthguard are painted as 4 champion figures so he has the choice. In total he has one Levy slingers, 2 javelin/spear armed Warriors and 1 Irish wolfhound unit (act as warriors). In total there are 5 Hearthguard units one which is 4 champions and 6 of them have Dane axes. I finished off with a figure that when looking at research looks to have been modeled on a picture of the king of Ireland and a little diorama with a leader and his faithful Hound and Druid.
And now to the pictures first unit is the unit of champions, and at the end is a group shot. I will pack them up tomorrow and they will travel up with me to Morecambe where I am meeting up with Loki and Kev at my Dad's so we can do a run through of the BforC game (you never know the odd game of SAGA may happen)





















On top of all the work on the SAGA Irish I am trying to complete a hearthguard unit for my Dads Vikings so he can up his force to 6pts (using some celt slingers we already have). I am working on a couple of Leaders too.

I have also completed the Banana Bunch Guards

  10. Nice work on the Irish warband James.

    As for Fran's figures, all I have to say is

    "One banana, two banana, three banana, four
    Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more"
