The board of trustees

I was in a hurry last time and I could not post those pictures. So here they come, "a little late" grunts the warlord, but they were on time for the game at least.

With so much beard hairs stuffing his mouth,
this warlord really needs someone to blow his orders away.

In fact those Dvergars Huscarls performed well, as they managed to chop down John's Ulfhednar (see them here http://fuentesdeonoro.blogspot.ca/2012/08/more-saga.html), in the first turn of our first game of Saga. They were a little helped by the arrowing of the Dvergars Geburs on the Ulfhednar in the first place (Did you read about the pointy arrows ?), yet no one survived this bloody first action. But this caught us directly in the brutality of the game, and I must say John and I were conquered.

The Dvergars Huscarls.
As they lived, they died.

We managed to play three games in an afternoon, and we already plan to meet again in a month. Until then, I must be able to work on descent bases for the warband and build up more terrain features. 

Isn't it the same picture as above ?
Well... there is a slight adjustment in angle...

I would also like to add a banner and raise high the heraldry of my warlord's ancestors. I am already on something... We shall see if it is good enough to be share...

A warlord indeed

It was about time I finish this one. John is about to arrive at my place within an hour for our first SAGA game. Well, this is the kind of thick beard that he will have to shave off today. I hope his axes are well sharpen, because mine have a greedy thirst for blood today. It is canadian thanksgiving this week-end, yet today, there will be no mercy !

Here he is, Warlord of the Dvergers.
He still needs a proper name to carve into legend.

I must say I really reach my limit with this one. I have bring my eyes to a level of focus I won't overpass.  So, this is probably the best I have to offer. It would take lenses that I can't afford, to be more accurate. Therefor you will notice that my brush shakes a little on the details. Well that's it, I am not a robot-painter. 
It is the last time I use Games Workshop paintbrushes. The fine detail brush I use, lost its hairs at a pace I could not believe. I finished this figure with only half of the hairs on the brush and that was kind of irritating, as the paint would not flow regularly. Thus I think I'll definitly turn to the Army Painter products very soon.


With an axe this size...


He'd shorten anyone...


the brutal one...


as much as the wise

Others to come very soon. Horn blower and Hearthguards... But I am running out of time now... I keep you posted.
