Tom and I got in 2 games of Saga one night, this being the second. With little time left, we decided to play the basic "Clash of Warlords". We thought it would be neat to have a burning village in the center. Why? Cause some men just want to watch the miniature world burn. Tom's warband consisted of one unit of 8 Hearthguard, 3 units of 8 warriors, and 1 unit of levy archers. My list was one unit of 8 Knights, 2 units of 4 knights, one unit of Sergeants with Crossbows, and a unit of peasant archers.

Into the Woods..... Build and Review
I recently received a number of items from 4ground. Amongst them were three of their large woods for use in my Saga games. I decided to get the trees glued and painted first. You can make use of three woods in 4 to 6 point Saga games.

Viking Wardrums ...
The war drums are sounding. Warriors are gathering at the banks and launching towards glory.
Being the Noob Commander and having an attention span of a 4 year old, it was only a matter of time before I launched my hobby efforts into the World of Saga. I was able to get a game in at Fall In and won! It was a simple yet crunchy and fun game. The models look great and can be purchased from many product lines to make your forces fit.
Steve and Dirty Jon assisted with my force launch by donating Vikings to the cause. I am looking forward to clashing in the Feast of Crows !
The first unit I am gonna concentrate on for this WIP is the Warlord. The warlord is actually a Foundry Barbarian I picked up at Historicon 2012 for $1.00. I decided I wanted my Warlord to stick out and "paint a picture" as well. I purchased Norman Casualties SG01 and began to form a plan.

Frankish Faction - What Can You Take?
There have been a few posts on the WWPD Saga Forum recently about the make up of the Frankish faction from the excellent Saga "the Raven's Shadow" supplement from Gripping Beast.
This faction is unique so far in that it can be made up in different ways. I am not going to plough into the history of the Frankish dynasties as that will be the subject of another post on this forum. Here, I will just clarify the restrictions of the three flavours of the Frankish factions within the Saga wargame.
