Got time to paint some SAGA minis. I had a game shortly after and to be honest it wasn’t as good as I remebered. It was one of the first games I played as a wargamer, introduced to it by another club memeber. I played at least 6 games and remembered enjoying it, however it just didn’t do it for me coming back to it a few years later. It’s a bit unfortunate but I will look for a new game system to use these minis, Lion Rampant is a possible contender.

In keeping with colour coding my SAGA bases, Bannermen, Champions etc. are yellow rimmed.In keeping with colour coding my SAGA bases, Bannermen, Champions etc. are yellow rimmed.

This is my first attempt at painting 15mm tanks. Using a few simple clours and lots of weathering powders I think they came out well.

Probably the key to tying it all together is the decals. It turns the Olice Drab tank with few details in a more characterful and interesting to the eye miniature.

I went to the effor of paint black around the outside of the wheels and the proceded to cover it all with weathering powder. I think I was too heavy hand anyway and will add less next time.

I don’t always take M10 when playing FoW but I do now! I’m not leaving a precious painted mini at home.

Next up is a set of 6 M8 Priests.

I am putting together forces for playing Hail Casear. I am focusing on Carthage and her allies and mercenaries.

This allows me to field a variety of forces and my plan is that each force can stand alone and be it’s on Hail Caesar force.

I bought a load of Victrix minis a few years ago but I’ve focused for now on the Numidians. I hava a force consisting of Numidian Light Infantry, lots of Numidian Cavalry and Africna Elephants crewed by Numidians.

My forces are built but I’m just missing my commands to lead these units.
