About the Project
I've always been interested in Saga, for example, and so have decided to dive in. The thing is I am terrible at starting projects, updating projects, building armies, painting armies, playing games... well that’s enough of that. Oh, and identifying historical armies. Which is what inspired me, and what this project is about. The plan, as it is, is to play Saga in GW's old world or at least utilising the broad brushstrokes of the different races and maybe create my own world. Fantasy armies will take the place of the historical ones utilising the various battle boards to give flavour. I could have used Age of Magic but I feel that in many ways the Battle Boards act as "Magic". Plus, given the size of your typical SAGA warband, this will hopefully inspire me to collect different races. But to start... a starting point. Age of Vikings, which I have decided will be represented in my world by Beastmen.

Day 2, Part 1... The flesh is willing
I’ve been looking forward to getting some paint on the models all day. Checking YouTube guides at lunch and reading the Saga rules on my “lunch”.
Get in, quick dinner and into the fray!While my meal is cooking, I’ll just pop the x-box on as I don’t want to be interrupted when I settle into the painting. I’ll just finish this quest. I can eat while I game, so I’ll just do that. Oh, this is a daily quest, so I better do that… wait why is the Alarm going downstairs?
I know what I am like, so I have constructed a future James who does helpful things like setting the alarm on the other side of the house in the Kitchen downstairs so I must get up, may as well take the dirty plates to the kitchen, and wash up, and switch it off. Which takes me past the snug, which has my paints and brushes all set up.
PAINTING! Thats what I should be doing. That’s what I have been looking forward to all day. Those villagers will have to look after themselves.
Nice one future James.
Day 1, Part 4... Oh FFS
How??? How did I miss this??? I've let myself down, i've let the hobby down, but most of all i've let Gerry down.Day 1, Part 3... A hobby tip...
When buying models off of eBay check to see if they come with instructions. Even if they only have 7 parts... These ones have to put together in a very specific order and I had to trawl the net to try and find some. A big thank you to the chap that put them up as part of the eBay listing!Day 1, Part 2... Clipping and Clean up
So all clipped out and cleaned. now to put together. Just a double check for mold lines lest the ghost of Gerry past come haunt my dreams.Day 1, Part 2... Clipping and Clean up
I ordered these off eBay months ago when I first had this idea so I have the Beastlord, who will be my warlord, and shaman who I may use as a mercenary Priest – the ability to change the face of a dice seems quite magical so should fit. Day 1, Part 1... Again
So due to some urgent renovations caused by non-urgent renovations and the fact that my house is older than some European countries I’ve not had anywhere to hobby. I didn't know how badly that had affected me until I could actually do some proper hobby for the first time since early May. I could actually feel myself relaxing and my head moving into a really positive place. So, I had a plan for my first SAGA warband. Vikings! Or as I am calling them Beastmen Raiders. Last year I had an idea of a Beastmen Skirmish force, plus I have always loved the GW Beastmen aesthetic aside from a couple of exceptions (looking at you Minotaurs) so I went on eBay and grabbed the Beastlord and the Shaman. An aside...
Part of this is to give me motivation. Set some time aside each day (aiming for an hour) and then do my project entry. Managed two hours and then did the project entry. Was quite chuffed with myself.
Till I realised it didn’t upload for some reason. The first hobby hurdle! Well I have the pictures and will upload from my other computer. Obviously out of office hours. Obviously.
