Dark ages 6mm fun

I’m really keen on trying SAGA in 6mm as inspired by Per at the rollaone blog and have my first units of Vikings based and painted.  But I also want to try and move ahead on my “We buy any Monk” solo game (where the monks are automated fleeing from the monastery and the Vikings have to attempt capture.  I’m thinking of ways of making it quite a light hearted and funny game and I’ll post it here when I work it out.  It’s been brewing at the back of my mind for a year or so.

Anyway.. I’ve got the monastery painted and my first unit of Vikings






Monastery is from Total Battle Miniatures and was a joy to paint, I really enjoyed it.


Vikings are from Baccus, I’m more or an armour painter but want to get into other periods.  These weren’t too bad and look great en mass

Looks great! I would love to see Saga in 6mm.

Do you have numerous guys per base? Like 1 warrior is now a squad?
When I was in vancouver we did a little bit of 15mm saga and it seemed to work pretty well.

A squad per guy with no changes in the ranges etc. I’m hoping it’ll look better with a couple of hundred guys rather than just 30 or 40
