Hobby Update: SAGA Age of Magic

Hey guys, here's a quick update on some more minis for my Great Kingdoms!

Tonight I got the paint done for my war machine and crew. I also finished my creatures, though they were finished earlier this week. Check them out!


My completed unit of bipedal creatures (giant Teutonic Knights!).


My painted, but un-based, war machine and crew.

I'll be missing for a week while I'm out of town, but you can look forward to more hobby updates in the near future.

Hobby Update: Sea Inlets and Chasms

Hello and welcome back to the blog! This entry will focus on two pieces of terrain I recently worked on, a chasm and a sea inlet. These were both challenging pieces, though for very different reasons.  Step 1: Bases To begin any terrain project (well, except for maybe hills), you'll need a good base to work on. I use around 3/16" MDF sheets which can be found at most large home improvement or hardware stores.  First step is to plan out the base sizes and shapes. I normally do this with a black magic marker to help guide my cuts and to make the most use of my materials. Once the bases are planned out, it's cutting time. I tend to do my first rough cuts using a table saw. Table saws are pretty big, scary, and dangerous, especially when working with smaller pieces of material. Also, table saws are not intended for making curved cuts, so, while I use it for this myself, I can't safely recommend it. My second cuts are done with a handheld jigsaw. This is not my favorite too

SAGA Age of Magic: The Great Kingdoms vs The Horde

Welcome back for another game of SAGA Age of Magic. Today, I played an 8 pt game against my friend Matt. Matt's new to the game and hobby overall, but he's quickly learning how to roll the bones. Rather than complicate things via the Book of Battles, we chose to play a standard game of  Clash of Warlords . The Narrative: The Outlands are on fire. All along the horizon, columns of smoke herald the coming of unspeakable monstrosities. These are enemies without remorse, fear, or mercy. A cold, clammy dread seizes the heart of The Protectorate as wide eyed, blood soaked survivors spread tales of raids, massacres, and unearthly terror. Sworn to protect the meek, His Order of the Ebon Cross is roused and readied in the panoply of war. Prayers are spoken, oaths taken, and weapons anointed. Time is fleeting and the fate of the Outlands must be decided.  The Outlands are on fire. Below are our lists. THE GREAT KINGDOMS 8  pts Warlord -mounted: flying Sorcerer 1 pt

Gather 'round and listen to a tale of noble knights and fickle fortunes! In this battle report, we'll be again chronicling a battle between Brettonia and The Empire, this time at 1200 pts. The Armies Brettonian Army Paladin - General 95pts -Barded Warhorse -Lance -Shield -Virtue of Discipline (1st) Paladin - Battle Standard Bearer 74 pts -Barded Warhorse Paladin 136 pts -Royal Pegasus -Lance -Shield -Virtue of Noble Disdain (1st) 8x Knights of the Realm 216 pts 8x Knights of the Realm 216 pts 8x Knights of the Realm 216 pts 5x Mounted Yeomen 87 pts 10x Peasant Bowmen Skirmishers 70 pts -Shields Field Trebuchet 90 pts Of course, I can't speak for Mike's strategy, but if I had to guess, I would say the strategy was in true Brettonian fashion; hit hard with the lance formations of knights and their embedded heroes. The trebuchet would keep me from getting too comfortable or at least punish my forces for not engaging in melee. The mounted yeomen could counter march blocking
