Lion's Rampant

       It all began with a simple email from a club mate. I've played a couple of games of this fairly new set of rules and I really think you will like it, do you fancy using your Saga army to give it a go? How can that be answered with anything but ok?
       I think that's the exact moment it went wrong. Before I knew it I had played my first game and gone straight home and ordered a box of Fireforge foot serjeants, a single pack of Crusader Miniatures foot knights and a copy of Lion's Rampant, and I was ready to go.

     I picked a yellow livery with a white stag as my symbol, as a nod to House Baratheon from Game of Thrones. I thought I had better give myself a second chance at a game of throne army, as the more I look at my House Lannister force the more I don't like it at all.

     While packing to move I found half a box of GW bretonnian archers and during the wait for my new models to arrive I decided to dig that box out and use them to test out my colour scheme, but they have since been ungraded to full army members, fulfilling the role of Bidower as I am really quite pleased with them.

       The first unit of foot serjeants. The stags on their shields are transfers from another GW bretonnian kit, this time the knights box, although I have had to buy a few more sheets from ebay.

    That's a cracking colour scheme. Lovely paintwork.

    Do the GW minis match up scale wise with the others ok?

      Thanks Herbert. Yeah they really aren't far off, and no gothic skulls all over them either!

    A buddy of mine have also talked about using LR for GoT! I've got several boxes of Fireforge stuff sitting in the mountain, and it's sorely tempting to actually get a Norman force for SAGA since it could do double duty!

      Thanks Spiderweb. That's exactly what I was going to do in a post when I get my last few units done. Show each unit in Lion's Rampant format and then broken down into Saga units. Won't actually be that much difference.

      With the quality of the fireforge figures I think you just need to jump in and go for it.
