SAGA !!!! my first vikings

We started playing SAGA and after few initial battles using lord of the rings miniatures I could not resist buying the gripping beast plastics. I prefer them quite a lot compared to the lead ones and I split two boxes with another fellow.

I have chosen vikings as initial force. I think they are an easy start and anyway the figures can be used for many other armies.

I like these figures very much... they are easy to paint and with lots of bits in the box it is possible to assemble lots of variations in the figures.

Here is my warlord that looks very viking and  powerful

The (exciting) Unboxing of Winter war pack #1

Before Xmas I received the long awaited pack containing my two platoons from the winter war kickstarter.

Here is the report of my Unboxing and in following posts I will report painting progress...

 The package is excellent (and heavy)

The box contains 4 Russian lmg squads with 10 men each !

and 4 Finnish squads (2 mg and 2 normal) with the platoon command 

Finally a new camera!

Last Xmas I gifted my wife a reflex camera (canon 600d) and finally had the chance of taking decent photos. I also suddenly bought a tripod and this enabled me to make a set of trial pictures of some old  warhammer lizardmen I wish to sell on ebay. Here are the results

Tombstone

A little diversion from Bolt action... we started playing Wild West skirmish with an Italian rule set. we use the fantastic miniatures from black scorpion. I painted tonight a first set of my Texas rangers. 

These are all from Tombstone 3 set.
