Saga: Age of Viking League

I'm spinning up a Saga: Age of Vikings escalation league. We've got 8 players, with beautifully painted armies. We all showed up last weekend to kick it off. We started at 4 points, and plan on escalating up to 6 over the course of the league.

We are playing over 5 weekends in the upcoming months, with 2 games per session. We've working our way through the Book of Battles, for this first session we played "Prized Possessions" and "Claiming Territory". We are also using the "Sagas" rules for leveling up your warlord, with some bonus experience awarded for having a sweet viking costume, bringing terrain, having a display board, etc. 

I brought my Scots with King Macbeth, the last pagan king of Scotland. I won my first game against the Normans, and lost my second against the Jomsvikings. The first session was super fun!

Saga: Age of Vikings Baggage

I speed painted these guys for a Saga: Age of Vikings league I'm kicking off this weekend. I'm pretty happy with how they came out, given I spent a minimal amount of time on them. 

 

Saga: Normans vs Scots

 Played a battle with my friend Derek in preparation for a saga escalation league I'm going to be running later this month. We played the "Prized Possessions" scenario from the Book of Battles.

Ended up with a 17-11 Scotts victory! The Derek ran his Norman hearth-guard with javelins, they didn't hold up too well against all of the short range shooting from the Scottish. Fun game, excited for the league!
