I've been working on the Phalanx (closing in on halfway) and some Cavalry this week. All figures are from <a href="https://www.victrixlimited.com/" target="_blank">Victrix</a> and are great to work with. I find Victrix to be so far ahead of the rest when it comes to plastics. From sculpt detail, size, to ease of assembly, these guys pump out great quality figures and I'd genuinely recommend them to anyone who asks.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJN-q4_BMYPDAAWZeSqEhkX_v2vxI9nK_ye90Ml6p6B5VlcNh6gJfYMpw9nuNxOFCajy2VlT6jF9LD8CTLUqr7gx3qEG_rv32eKmyntLO-RkUTsOw7KLYNcBsK0l1o8iHiEJyZdRqkBRisIyHkAdf2GjuS3zNrqQgRgRY63SJnPemg7QL2yUV5xtVwzg/s3261/20220128_104637.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1975" data-original-width="3261" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJN-q4_BMYPDAAWZeSqEhkX_v2vxI9nK_ye90Ml6p6B5VlcNh6gJfYMpw9nuNxOFCajy2VlT6jF9LD8CTLUqr7gx3qEG_rv32eKmyntLO-RkUTsOw7KLYNcBsK0l1o8iHiEJyZdRqkBRisIyHkAdf2GjuS3zNrqQgRgRY63SJnPemg7QL2yUV5xtVwzg/s320/20220128_104637.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZUXm81gAg4VJHVMbTYfqT23KZYEQU_utgBuwnVpAAlOBOa2iBQOocG2CLBRQNLDk3zQLh4pA-rAoJqwgQZuF6UcoMY3ueSRUq5Ton1v00mm5AiBGzY8QmVSm7UzzYriI5EZjt0d3aztvtzOuBrWeAZLhXrRuA3VVQFQC9bg7psIs-zCRiQoEVqoXaIg/s2210/20211031_085354.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2133" data-original-width="2210" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZUXm81gAg4VJHVMbTYfqT23KZYEQU_utgBuwnVpAAlOBOa2iBQOocG2CLBRQNLDk3zQLh4pA-rAoJqwgQZuF6UcoMY3ueSRUq5Ton1v00mm5AiBGzY8QmVSm7UzzYriI5EZjt0d3aztvtzOuBrWeAZLhXrRuA3VVQFQC9bg7psIs-zCRiQoEVqoXaIg/s320/20211031_085354.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>Still unsure of how I'll base these up and have decided to leave shields out moving forward for the rest of the project and just sort them out at the end.

We are slowly working away at a Battle of Heraclea project at the moment, and with Pyrrhus being pretty damn close to my favorite historical figure, I've gladly taken on that side of things while Gavin cracks on with the Romans.</p><p>The Elephant came with a few different tusk and trunk options and arrived in pretty good condition. A small amount of work with Milliput was needed to fix some honeycombing in the resin, but that wasn't really a problem.

I finished the painting and rebasing of my 15mm 3rd crusade army for use in <a href="http://www.wgcwar.com/" target="_blank">Triumph!</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As mentioned in my <a href="https://standanddeliver-wargaming.blogspot.com/2018/12/triumph.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>, I've based up a scale from the recommended 15mm basing and gone for the 28mm basing instead. I like the look of it a little better and since this will be used at home and not at any tournaments, it'll be sweet!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had my niece up for the day today and she brought her Irish warband with her for a game against my Welsh. After flicking through the new <a href="https://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/SRB23_SAGA_Book_of_Battles_Supplement--product--5729.html" target="_blank">Book of Battles</a>, we settled on the Tale of Challenges scenario.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty cool scenario in my opinion. After set-up but before deployment each player gets to issue challenges to their opponent from the table provided in the book. There are 12 challenges all up and each has a <b><i>x/x</i></b> point system (ranging from 3's to 8's) where if you fulfil the challenge you get to add <i><b>x</b></i> to your total, but if you fail to fulfil the challenge you deduct <b><i>x</i></b> from your total. So you need to think very carefully about which challenges you issue because if you fail them, it can swing the game out of reach, even if you were ahead on massacre points.</div>

A fun game finishing up on turn 5 with a decisive victory to my Welsh. Arwen wasn't able to fulfil any of her challenges and I was able to fulfil both of mine adding to an already hefty massacre point score.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was really impressed with how she went about the game tactically and was even more impressed with how neat her painting has become. A formidable Warlord in the making that will only get even more fierce with more games under the belt. My brother's Vikings better watch out!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After frantically painting a few extra Hearthguard models and a Christian Priest, I made the hour long drive down the motorway to take part in the first Australian SAGA Grand Melee using v2 rules, held in Brisbane, Queensland. A solid day of gaming organised by one of the nicest blokes you'll come across here in the Aussie community, Thomas Hitchen. It was a smoothly run event supported by both <a href="https://www.warandpeacegames.com.au/" target="_blank">War and Peace Games</a> and <a href="https://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/" target="_blank">Gripping Beast</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day consisted of 4 rounds using 6pt warbands, with a further 2pts in reserve that you could sub in before each round. I've got to say that the new edition is pretty damn awesome!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took a mainly mounted Welsh warband led by Owain of Strathclyde as follows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1x Owen of Strathclyde</div>

<br />
<br />
A quick recap of the rounds I played;<br />
Round 1 Battle around the Camp Fire: vs Norse Gaels played by Owen. It was a very close game which I lost in the last turn after he managed to take down Owain of Strathclyde. -loss<br />
<br />
Roud 2 The Frozen River: vs Michael and his Vikings led by Ragnar. I managed to get all my warband onto the other side of the river taking minimal loses. -win<br />
<br />
Round 3 Retreat!: vs Dave and his Vikings, again led by Ragnar. The Welsh manoeuvrability proved too much here and came away with the victory and a spot prize for quickest win of the round. -win<br />
<br />
Round 4 Clash of Warlords: vs Greg using Pagan Rus. On the top table and currently second overall. A bit of a bloody affair this one but notched the victory after a well played battle. - win</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after going 3-1 across the day and accumulating 19 Tournament points and 91 Victory points, I was dubbed "the Northern Raider" and was crowned 2018's Australian Grand Melee Champion!<br />

<i>Australian Grand Champion!</i><br />
<i></i><br />
After a fantastic day of gaming I was also extremely proud to accumulate the most points and win the Sportsmanship Award as well. This award is the Henry Parsons Memorial, which was voted 1-5 after each round by the players to promote fun, gamesmanship and gentlemanly behaviour . It really was a great way to cap off an excellent event with a great bunch of blokes.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Tom for sending the photos as I didn't take any on the day.<br />
<br />
I look forward to defending the crown next year!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've hit my amended target to get these guys ready for the tabletop before Christmas. As a little bonus I added in the amazing <a href="http://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/SHCA05_El_Cid--product--5311.html">El Cid figure from Gripping Beast</a>. Its an amazing sculpt by Angel Terol, and is easily one of the best historical miniatures I've had the pleasure of throwing paint at.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Warband consists of;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Warlord </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8 Caballeros</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12 Levies w/ bow.</div>

Here we are! Back with another update on my <a href="http://standanddeliver-wargaming.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/saga-spanish-project-update-1.html">Spanish Saga Warband</a> project. Well, things didnt exactly go to plan. I was hoping to smash out atleast a unit every week or so but as usual, life does life and wargaming went to the back of the line. Anyway, I'm on holidays now and have managed to finish off 8 Mounted Caballeros (hearthguard). I had started these sometime in November so they didnt take too much more to get over the line.</div>

I really dig this figure. It's full of character and I've been looking forward to getting it tabletop ready since I purchased it a few weeks ago from <a href="http://www.warandpeacegames.com.au/">War and Peace Games</a>. A sweet addition to my Dark Age collection! Cheers.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So after winning a 4pt Spanish starter set at the <a href="http://standanddeliver-wargaming.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/queensland-northern-knights-vetrs-saga.html" target="_blank">QNK's premier event's Saga tournament</a> I thought i might as well pull my finger out and throw some paint at 'em! I'll try and get the whole 4 points complete over the next few weeks. This is no easy task at my place with full time work, spending time with Wifey, and full time Dad duty to 4 kids (quite happily) taking up the bulk of my time. Nontheless I'm determined to get this little project done in a timely manner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got a couple of tournaments coming up in the next few months so this will give me another Warband to add to my repertoire. Though i'll probably have to grab a couple more figures to round it out to 6 or 7 points worth.. More choice is always a good thing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've taken the easy road and started out with the 12 Levy Archers. Pretty clean sculpts and nice and easy to pop the bow in place. The rest of the Warband from the box comes mounted so i'll have to get my horse painting cap on from way back when i painted up some mounted figures to add to my <a href="http://standanddeliver-wargaming.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/welsh-warband.html">Welsh.</a> Should be fun.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A quick update of my Ariadna Sectorial force. My Caledonian Highlanders have been on and off the painting table for a fair while now, and I'm slowly giving myself more options so as not to field the same army list each game. I forgot to post the latest additions when i finished them a little while back so figured i'd pop em up now.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've now added William Wallace, 4 Wulvers and a 112 Emergency Service support troop.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I went along to Queensland Northern Knights Premier Event for 2016. A fantastic,challenging and fun filled weekend of wargaming. Many systems are at the event such as Kings of War, Warmahordes, Bolt Action, Infinity and of course, Saga! Again, such great event run by the boys at QNK and supported by numerous suppliers across Oz.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As suggested in the title I entered into the 6 Point Saga tournament and took along my Pagan Rus.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The one-day event consisted of three 2 hour rounds. Each win and each draw having points up for grabs. In case of a tie breaker the lads had a casualty point tracker which ran for the duration of the day.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I managed to battle my way through all 3 rounds undefeated and won the day! I went away with a lovely trophy, and a brand new 4pt Spanish Warband provided by <a href="http://www.warandpeacegames.com.au/" target="_blank">War and Peace Games</a> (thanks guys!)</div>

<i>The victorius Rus with their trophy and prize!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A brief run-down of my games;</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In round1 I faced a formidable opponent in Tom, playing a rather intimidating Irish warband in the Sacred Ground scenario. In a tough battle that was slipping away, it was around turn 4 when I used <i>Cold Winds</i> on his brick of shooty Hearthguard, promptly followed with <i>Endless Wastes </i>that turned the tide.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In round 2 I faced (for the first time ever would you believe) a very fast moving Norman army helmed by Peter from QNK In "Clash of the Warlords". I played very defensively using <i>The Great Winter </i>a number of times to get myself into a position to counter-attack his Warlord and Hearthguard who were harrasing my right flank. After clearing his Hearthguard with a unit of Warriors I slammed into his Warlord with a side by side taking the win.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the 3rd round I faced off with Phoenix and his wall of Anglo-Saxons, again, in the Sacred Ground scenario (roll of for scenarios in rnd 3) After weathering the advance of the Saxons I sent my Hearthguard in side by side with my warlord and chewed through 2 of his big units of warriors. It was then I got out of reach in victory points and took the win,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a few more shots of some of the games today. Thanks again to QNK, War and Peace, and in particular Wayne for being a fantastic T.O.</div>

Happy new year! Just thought I'd share a few bits and pieces from the last few weeks of 2015.<br />
<br />
I'm very excited to now be painting some Infinity models as I want to get more games in and possibly a tournament this year. I find the models fantastically detailed and a pleasure to paint. I purchased this box of Highlanders a few months ago now, but they had been left behind while I pushed ahead to get most of my <a href="http://standanddeliver-wargaming.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/army-showcase-pagan-rus.html" target="_blank">Pagan Rus</a> stuff for Saga painted. Plus I wasn't too confident in taking on the kilts at the time but after the stripy goodness of the Rus and some practice runs random warhammer mini's I figured I'd give it a crack.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm pretty happy with the kilts, I'll definitely get better as I get more of the figures done. I'm onto the starter box next (have already started the SAS model) so will be practicing my camouflage as well!<br />
<br />

I placed an order with<a href="http://www.warandpeacegames.com.au/" target="_blank"> War and Peace</a> for a unit of Joms and a Character figure for Saga. The latter of which was a gift to my Brother. I'll have to sort a photo out of the finished product with him as I've already given it to him for Christmas. The Joms will fit nicely into my Pagan Rus warband as a warrior unit. They are pretty much complete and have seen a few battles already, I just have to highlight the pants and will put a photo up with my next post. </div>

We managed to squeeze in another closely run 4 point game of Saga yesterday. Good action and some hate from the Dice Gods!</div>

The Anglo-Danish Warlord barks orders from behind the ranks and his Warriors swiftly charge into battle. They run head on into the Saxon Thegns Shieldwall. The Saxon unit count after the initial fight with the Hearthguard had left them depleted and under strength however the men rallied with their <i>Stout Hearts </i>and the unit fought as though they were at full strength of 10+.</div>

Defeat! Two pairs of Snake-Eyes vs double 6! The Anglo-Danish Hearthguard were miraculously slaughtered by the much inferior Saxon Warriors with what is easily the wildest dice rolling I've seen in some time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
That last melee took the (not so vicious anymore) wind out of the Anglo-Danish sails and there was no hope now to catch up on Victory Points...</div>

The Danes held their ranks awaiting a charge from the Pagan Rus, using the Saga Dice heavily on Melee abilities in preparation. However the Pagan Rus Warlord suddenly burst forward from the ranks and let his <i>Eastern Anger</i> rain down from the skies! A bold move that would take a total of 6 Anglo Danish Hearthguard to their graves.</div>

Capitalizing on the Rus Warlord being out in the open alone Phoenix charged in with his Warlord and a Hearthguard followed his leader into the fray. The Rus Warlord held his ground and pushed back the Danish menace! By this time the game had slipped away from Phoenix, with not enough turns left to make it over the Ford and both paths to do so heavily camped now with Pagan Rus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He threw down a challenge to have our Warlords, already brused and battered to clash in a 1v1. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I of course accepted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, once more into the Fray the Pagan Rus Warlord mustered his strength and lurched forward.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another great game, Phoenix is trying a few different factions to get a feel for which suits his playstyle. Despite the landslide result in this game i think he did really well with the Anglo Danes and was using the Battleboard very well.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This afternoon I got in a 4 point game of Saga with my eldest son Phoenix. He played the Pagan Rus and I broke out the Welsh! We rolled Clash of the Warlords for the scenario, set up the table and off we went.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Warbands were as follows;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Welsh</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mounted Warlord</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Unit of 4 Mounted Hearthguard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Unit of 10 Warriors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Unit of 6 Warriors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Unit of Levy Bowmen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Pagan Rus</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Warlord</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Units of 4 Hearthguard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Units of 8 Warriors</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Phoenix won initiative so went first, after allocating his Saga dice to the battleboard he rolled his troops up the table their full movement leaving 3 dice in the Combat Pool just in case.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I rolled up next and pushed most of the Welsh forward taking the Mounted Hearthguard up with my Warlord using <i>We Obey. I</i> then activated <i>Answering the Call </i>moving the Warlord the Levy, the smaller unit of Warriors and the Hearthguard again. This got my Mounted troops within range to hurl javelins at an opposing Hearthguard unit... Due to horrible dice rolling, and the Pagan Rus combat pool being used for defence, I inflicted no damage, activated them and moved away, gaining fatigue.</div>

He then used the <i>Endless Wastes</i> in his next turn to kill one of my fatigued Hearthguard..</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The following few turns had us both advance towards each other. The Welsh hurling javelins and firing arrows where possible but the Pagans kept a few dice in reserve for defence and managed to steadily close on the Welsh forces.</div>

Once the Pagan Rus were upon the Welsh things started to get a little shaky for me. Even though the Welsh warband had the accuracy of <i>The Deadly Strike </i>and indeed had <i>Strength in Numbers, </i>The Pagan Rus Hearthguard were <i>Standing Like Bears </i>and fighting with ferocious tenacity <i>For the Khagan!</i></div>

The tables were starting to lean in the favor of the Pagan Rus. I decided to send my Warlord to hunt for his counterpart as I was falling behind on Victory Points. Smashing through a half strength Militia unit only to have the Pagan Warlord retreat behind some woods.. The battle on the left flank raged on and my Hearthguard charged withering Pagan Rus Varjazi, wiping the last man out but leaving themselves vulnarbel to some (very) well placed Militia to counter-charge on their turn and send my Hearthguard packing. The fresh Pagan Rus Hearthguard then made easy pickings out of my smaller warrior unit before turning their attention to the remaining Priodaur..</div>

With one last chance to get ahead in Victory Points the Warlord calls upon his Priodaur to rally <i>Side by Side</i> and charges into the fray!

<div style="text-align: center;">
To continue on with my current enthusiasm for Saga (and after finishing <a href="http://standanddeliver-wargaming.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/army-showcase-pagan-rus.html" target="_blank">my last warband</a>), here is 6 Points worth of Anglo Saxons that i finished today ready to roll out and form up on the battlefield! I took about 4 points (with a little bit extra) worth of these guys from my Impetus collection but to round it out to 6 points without thinning the impetus army too much, I painted up another point of warriors (8 minis) and then another 2 figures in mail. So basically i've ended up with 1 Point of levy and 5 points of Warriors. However I've done it in a fashion were there is a good amount of mail wearing warriors that could easily be separated for a hearthuard unit or two. </div>

Most of the miniatures are <a href="http://www.crusaderminiatures.com/" target="_blank">Crusader Miniatures</a>, they probably suit around 800AD onwards (to around 1066) so middle to late and could easily pull double duty as Anglo-Danes aswell...

<div style="text-align: center;">
I went for a visit down to my Brothers today and he put on a quick starter game of <a href="http://www.hawkwargames.com/pages/dropzone-commander" target="_blank">Dropzone Commander</a> by <a href="http://www.hawkwargames.com/" target="_blank">Hawk Wargames.</a> He's building a nice collection of each faction at the moment and the cityscape terrain along with board itself looked pretty cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We used the started box set with my Brother playing <a href="http://www.hawkwargames.com/collections/the-scourge" target="_blank">The Scourge</a> and myself guiding the <a href="http://www.hawkwargames.com/collections/united-colonies-of-mankind-ucm" target="_blank">United Colonies of Mankind</a>. The game mechanics were easy to pick-up and by the second turn I was pretty confident in using the quick reference sheet and Army specific printout I was given. I had no real idea on tactics or strategy so just went ahead and got stuck in! The shooting is nicely done, deadly if done right and most Dropships, Vehicles and Infantry give you a couple of gun options to choose from throughout the game. I'm a big fan of being able to shoot down the buildings too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a few shots of the game. My Bother managed to grab the objective off the left hand building and make it off the board ensuring victory.</div>

I got my Infantry out of the building but 2" a turn was not going to get me off the table edge... It did however put me in prime position for the Scourge footsloggers to take pot-shots at me from the top of a building! It all ended pretty quick after that. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a small game of Kings of War with my daughter this morning to try out Version 2 of the rules. An 800 point battle with her Dwarfs up against against my Ratkin <a href="http://standanddeliver-wargaming.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/tutorial-diy-movement-trays-for-kings.html" target="_blank">(complete with new DIY movement trays)</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't have time to write a battle report as we had my 1 and a half year old son scouting the table waiting for us to get distracted. It was then he pounce on any figures or dice close to the table edge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a great little game that went back and forth over about 6 turns before the pressure built so much that her poor Dwarfs routed from battle in quick succession. Even though it was a rather small game I did find that the rules seem a little smoother. They are written very clearly and play at a good pace. I feel that Deployment will be very important now with a good strategy behind it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heres a few snaps of this mornings game and I eagerly await my next chance to get some Kings of War action!</div>

According to the <i>Primary Chronicle, </i>The Rus Kingdom emerged around the middle of the ninth century after Scandinavian, Finn, Balt and Slavic tribes agreed to invite Three Varangian Princes to come rule after years of unrest and tribal fighting. They had in fact drove the Varangians back <i>"beyond the seas"</i> some years earlier when they rallied together and refused to pay tribute to the raiding Varyagi (Vikings).<br />
<br />
Two of the three Princes died shortly after their arrival leaving Rurik who settled at Novgorod to unite the local tribes and towns. He done so with great tact and ambition and managed to forge a dynasty that would rule Russia right into the Middle Ages...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></div>
<br />
I chose the Pagan Rus as my next saga faction <a href="http://standanddeliver-wargaming.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/welsh-warband.html" target="_blank">(my first faction was Welsh)</a> due to wanting 3 things..<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. A Badass looking Warlord</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Awesome figures to surround him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. A Warband that played completely different to the Welsh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Pagan Rus ticked all those boxes so i jumped online to the <a href="http://www.warandpeacegames.com.au/" target="_blank">War and Peace Webstore</a> (Australia's finest online Miniatures store) and snapped up the 4 point starter box, as well as an extra blister each of Varjazi (Hearthguard) and Militia (Warriors) to make up a 6 point warband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took me a fair amount of time to put paint to mini with this project due to a number of things. My work schedule, time with the wife and kids etc. etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally managed to start these guys about two months ago. Painting very small amounts here and there when managed to scrape together some spare time but most importantly the desire. I wanted to do the models justice but just couldn't give them the time they deserved... Well, that all eventually turned around (as it normally does) and this Project picked up momentum and then some! The models took to brush beautifully and i really enjoyed getting them done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here we are, my 6 point Pagan Rus Warband led by a Badass Warlord!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I got to put my new Pagan Rus warband on the table to battle it out with my Brother and his tenacious Vikings, as well as my eldest Niece who put my Welsh warband to work. She has a Norse-Gaels warband herself but it was not available at the time. She did however play the Welsh rather nicely. We set-up outside on the Veranda as it a cracker of a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Warbands were as follows;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Welsh</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mounted Warlord</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We set up and played out a victory point scenario that had the Welsh and the Pagan Rus set-up on separate corners of the southern table edge and the Vikings coming down from the centre of the northern edge. The stage was set and the free for all began!<br />

This However left a Welsh Warriors unit all alone and once again a sudden "Fear of the Dark" set in..followed up by Endless Wastes..and their numbers started to dwindle.. (they would in fact end up being completely consumed by "Endless Wastes".)</div>

On the Eastern side of the battlefield the Pagan Rus formed up to accept the charge of the encroaching Northmen. Using "Standing Like Bears" and "For the Khagan!" together I was able to buff the Militia to take on the Berserkers who had been buffed with "Frigg", "Thor" and "Ullr" which i was rightly afraid of! </div>

After the crash of shields the Berserkers were done! They did however slay my Militia down to a single man.. He was quickly taken care of when my Brother activated "Loki" in the next orders phase to remove him from the game and securing another victory point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From here the game pretty much wrapped up on the final turn with the victory points tally being as follows;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Welsh - 6 Points</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Vikings - 6 Points</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Pagan Rus - 12 points!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So on their first foray on the tabletop the Pagan Rus come away with a convincing Victory! I definitely enjoyed this warband and it plays completely differently to my Welsh, which is exactly what i was looking for; two very different yet rewarding play-styles. As it is with the Saga, on occasion certain scenarios do present better situations for certain factions, and I think this scenario was better suited to the defensive/controlling Battleboard of the Pagan Rus. But, as I'm a humble Warlord I'll be more than happy to admit it was my tactical genius and wit that got me over the line so decisively! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the norm when I play against my brother you should treat yourself and check out his battle report over on the <a href="http://lucid-gaming.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/2nd-november-1st-nov-saga-vs-brother-vs.html" target="_blank">Lucid Gaming</a> blog as he is far better at After Action Reports than I am.</div>

I've been a little busy (as per usual) of late and the hobby had to take a back seat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But.. I've got more time now it seems but most importantly, I have my mojo back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've got a few projects about to start up, carry on and finish up so will be updating the blog a bit more for the rest of the year.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First off; <a href="http://www.infinitythegame.com/" target="_blank">Infinity</a>. Yes I know I'm pretty late to this party. Having seen the game played on and off over the years and being interested enough, I never took the plunge. This all changed when my Brother brought his Operation Icestorm set over the other week and we played through the scenarios from start to finish. Wow! The game has to be one of the more "organic" feeling games I've ever played. We've not even scratched the surface on the full rules but I'm already finding myself wanting more! So, after careful consideration I've settled on building a sectorial force from the Ariadna faction; Caledonian Highlanders. Awesome figures and seem to suit my style of gaming. I've ordered up from the <a href="http://thecombatcompany.com/" target="_blank">Combat Company</a> here in Australia. These guys rock. Fast and reliable every time.</div>

I'm also wrapping up another project while I'm at it. This is the last unit of my British Army for Bolt Action. These guys have been basecoated, dipped, and are now awaiting a few highlights before the basing is done to finish them off. I chose to Dip this particular army due to the drab scheme, i think it suits them and makes quick work of them. The latter of which was important to me because i started this project when I was burnt out from painting and really couldn't put a great amount of work in. They still come up nicely enough on the tabletop.</div>

<br />
<br />
And Finally, a project which helped bring the joy back to painting after a rather lengthy time off.. My Pagan Rus Warband for Saga is just about done. Beautiful miniatures from gripping beast, these guys really made painting fun again. I'll post an army post about these guys in the near future once I've done some finishing touches. For now I'll just leave you with a picture of my favorite model from the range. The Warlord himself, I honestly think the colour scheme gripping beast used on the Rus looked stunning and tried to stay as true as i could to examples on their website. This miniature was the deciding factor when i was choosing my 2nd faction for Saga and I'm glad i chose them. They really are a very pretty warband to behold and were a treat to paint!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few shots from the Bolt Action game I had with my Brother the other day. 850pts and rolled up Top Secret for the mission. The game was a good one that included poor rolls to bring our troops on from reserves, less than average rolls for Tank fire, and a botched Artillery bombardment on my part! I think the Artillery mishap is what cost me the win in the end with the game ending in a draw. My Brother wrote a great batrep over on his blog <a href="http://lucid-gaming.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/28-june-bolt-action-vs-brother.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Managed to get a game of Saga in today. A 6pt battle against my Brother's menacing Vikings. It was a was a heap of fun and I knew I was in for a good day when I got to deploy first due to having a stunning Beard! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to use the battleboard to the best of my ability and use the Welsh in a way which I feel was more tactically sound. Last time I faced these Vikings <a href="http://standanddeliver-wargaming.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/4pt-saga-game-vikings-vs-welsh.html" target="_blank">(here)</a> I didnt really stand a chance given my poor tactics. I have a tendency to use a very aggressive playstyle and it's just not how the Welsh should be played. Today as I mentioned, I played them in a much smarter way and used Hit and Run tactics more befitting the Welsh battleboard. While still learning at this point I think my Welsh will become a formidable opponent for whoever dares to challenge them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The overall result was a victory for me, winning 13 points to 8!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The warbands were roughly as follows;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hearthguard vs Berserkers. After realising how much of a threat these berserkers posed, I needed them gone asap. Lucky for me, I was able to survive an initial attack and pepper them down with javelin!</div>
