Cold Blooded Croakers

I realised that I had never posted pics of Right Stuff's Slann team, The Cold Blooded Croakers, which he did well with at last year's Canberra Cup.  Here they are in all their glory :


Leaping Lizards! Converted from the Frog Warrior figures range by Nic at Eureka Miniatures (http://eurekamin.com.au/).  They were mildly converted, mainly with the addition of turtle shell armour to keep them safe on the field.
Converted Support Figures - Helmet Wulf Star Player, Cheerleaders and Apothecary
And a more recent addition to the team: The Kroxigor.  This great fig is from the Wargods of Aegyptus range

Varjazi & Basileus

More SAGA goodness! I'm envious of those of you who can pick up a copy at the SALUTE release:

Varjazi & Basileus is a full colour mini supplement for the SAGA rules and is the last one to cover the factions of the Viking Age.

Contained within are all the rules and background for three new factions, one of which, the Byzantines, has already been the subject of a article in a sold-out issue of Wargames Illustrated. The other two are the Pagan Rus and their successors, the Era of The Princes Rus.

Also included are a new Swords For Hire unit, the dreaded Steppe Nomads, who can be in the pay of all three of these factions, and a new Hero Of The Viking Age for the Byzantines, Harald Hardradda, Captain Of The Varangian Guard.

We wanted to end this cycle with a bang so Varjazi & Basileus is presented in a full-colour card folder that can accommodate your Battleboard collection, the Rulebook and an additional supplement. Varjazi & Basileus also contains the relevant 3 Battleboards.£12
