Anglo-Danish warlord and huscarls

     After a rare bit of after work painting I can now introduce the longest members of the 'I'll paint that next' part of my painting desk, my Anglo-Danish warlord and two units of huscarls. These guys have been on my desk since I bought them at Salute 2012 and they have been continually pushed back by that next shiny new project, but with a game planned for tonight and my club staying at the 4 point mark for Saga for the time being, it seemed the perfect time to try out yet another faction to see if their play style suits me.

Anglo-Danish warlord Harold Half-Dane and his retinue

      My general build at the moment seems to be a couple of units of huscarls and a couple of units of warriors giving me hitting power and numbers. My next plans are to try out the archers, that are still sitting on my desk, a unit of slings, that have been there even longer, and then try for slightly bigger games in general. If I can end up with a couple of units of huscarls, 2-3 warrior units and maybe a combat levy unit and a shooting levy unit for each faction (with Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Danish sharing a lot of units) that will give me a lot of flexibility in the long run while I find my feet in this game.
   
      Now I need more painting time to paint some OO scale figures for the railway and the dark age archers are starting to look at me funny.

      Thanks for reading this.
