Saga of ÆWulf vol 5: First Blood

Today mighty ÆWulf will cross his sword with diabollical enemy for the first time.
Kadzik will teach mo to play Lion/Dragon rampant.
He will bring his slightly fantasy Arabi wariors, and I will ride with my Wikings +.
While I finished 4 points of 2 Warriors units , 2 Hearthguard units and Warlord for Saga, composition in X Rampant is quite different so I had to recruit my wives Wulfen (she painted one of them 10 years ago in short spike of interest in painting miniatures, and Ive put some basic colors on the other two that were gathering dust undercoated.

I will have 1 unit of Elite Foot -  ÆWulf himself with his chosen.
Unit of Cunning Greater Warbeast
2 Units of plain Heavy Infantry
And 1 unit of 6 Bidowers/Scouts
and 1 point I dont know what to do with - most probably I will make one unit Hate enemy.

Saga of ÆWulf ! vol4: Hearthguard 2

 Saga of ÆWulf continues !! ALbeit a little slow. I finished second point of Hearthguards. So I am at 3 points now. Berserker and ÆWulf are on the workbench. One might say I am cheating painting 4 model points to get easy 4 point playable force fast.. But I will split his head with my Viking axe in return..

This time 4 plastic Vikings with chain mail face guards, one have leg and arm guards no doubt Byzantine in origin. Such heavily armoured hearthguard form a core of ÆWulf trusted team.

Saga of ÆWulf ! vol3: Rise of ÆWulf !!

Ive been inspired lately  after writing review of very interesting book about Slavic raid on Konungahela in 1136 for portal Strategie.net.pl  (anything is good  as an excuse for not  writing PHD i suppose..:)
So here is  my first take on the man himself..
Behold dreaded Sǣkonungr  ÆWulf
Not sure if this is final, but I like the guy.. there is something in him.. Certain taste of dread without silly skulls and bloodied axes, and his head is very evocative ..

I am not sure how to mount him jet. Either alone and Saemund his horn blower and standard bearer joins this band of hearthguard.

Or at larger base with Saemund and hearthguard will get another bloodthirsty viking hersir

Hmm .. What to do, what to do.
Well apart from painting him. I think i prefer bigger base with Saemund...but not decided yet

Saga of ÆWulf ! vol2

Every Saga needs extras. Lets call them in almost-latin phrase supernumeraries :)
Viking Saga needs a ton of them
Saga of ÆWulf  needs around 24 !!!

Here are my first fine Viking warriors in shieldwall stance.
