28mm SAGA Warband - Age of Vikings - Norman

Thursday night was the first time in almost a year that I had my Norman Warband in action. Since they were readily available  I was able to photograph the units for the Blog. The Calvary were Black Tree Design Miniatures that I repurposed for SAGA. They were originally based for DBX games. The figures of Bishop Odo and William the Conqueror are from Footsore Miniatures and Games. The remaining infantry are from various manufacturers. Some were purchased 10 or 12 years ago and I simply don't remember where they were from.  

Bishop Odo and William the Conqueror

Hearth Guard

Mounted Norman Warriors

Two units of Norman Warriors on Foot

Levy Bowmen

Crossbowmen 8 Warrior or 12 Levy

Levy Spearmen

Levy Slingers - I need 4 more

All the infantry figures were painted between Sept 2023 and early 2024 in order to get this Warband onto the tabletop. Meeting up with the  Montreal Historical Wargaming Club put a focus back into my painting which had been dormant for almost two years.

SAGA : The War of the Roses

The latest SAGA project I have been working on is my House of York Warband, for the Age of Chivalry.  Assembled a collection of photos taken of different units in various states of readiness. I have two units of levy bowmen that haven't completed their journey across the pond. Canada Post has them and has yet to make delivery. They will be painted in the red-black livery of the Earl of Northumberland, which depending upon the time line, may support either side in the struggle for the throne.

An infernal contraption that may or may not work.

Another unit of Warriors, supposedly supporters of Richard, or are they?
