A new adventure

 

I silently started this blog just to show how someone can start to play 9th age ,without knowing anything about the game on his 45th birthday.

Ofcourse i played many things in the past. RPG games, infinity the game (as a miniature game example) and MTG too.

After some friends have insisted and inspired me for a time to play the game, i had to choose an army myself and i had really hard time to choose one among these three. Undyeing dynasties, Saurian Ancients and Sylvan Elves. This is an other days' topic. So i decided to start the game with Saurian Ancients.

I love the theme of Aztecs and dreamed about painting them in nice vibrant colors.

About the minis, i wanted to start with One Page rules minis. Selecting the minis also is an other days' topic.

With a help from my friend, we started printing my army according to trial list, which i want to learn playing the game.

Here is the list.

Saurian Ancients

860 - Tegu Veteran, Alpha Carnosaur (Rex), Light Lance (Glory of the Dawn Age), Starfall Lodestone, Obsidian Rock

565 - Anurarch Archmage, Divination, Talisman of the Void, Eternal Mastery, Maddening Mastery

150 - Skink Veteran, Shield, Blowpipe, Infiltrator's Dart, Master Strategist

450 - 32 Skink Warriors, 4x Caiman Mentors (Halberd), Standard Bearer (Aether Icon)

450 - 32 Skink Warriors, 4x Caiman Mentors (Halberd), Standard Bearer (Legion Standard)

226 - 20 Skink Hunters

712 - 29 Tegu Guards, Champion, Standard Bearer (Koru Stone)

304 - 15 Skink Guerrillas, Blowpipe, Chameleon, Champion

294 - 15 Skink Guerrillas, Blowpipe, Chameleon

289 - 15 Skink Guerrillas, Blowpipe, Vanguard, Champion

200 - 3 Pteradon Riders, Magnetic Short Bow

4500

So here it goes.

What we printed firstly is my notorious Frog mage and his Tengu Guards. (The ones In bold) 

Meanwhile,i was preparing my 25mm square bases and painted them in jungle theme. This is also an other days' topic.

Thats it for the moment.
See in you in next thread.

Choosing your paint Scheme

 So i was about to make my hardest decision. "Paint scheme" .  In this thread, i want to brain storm on color ideas and help you and myself on choosing the right colors. Lets start with this cute picture below. Any lizard will look nice with vibrant colors for sure. I am planning to paint all my chameleons in different colors. Is it too much ? What do you think ? Playing the lizards give a big chance on choosing colors. You can paint your minis in any color. There is no restriction for you at all. However just keep in your mind some delicate points. I am planning to paint tegus in orange/black for instance. That conuld create a nice look on the table, if you remember about my jungle bases in vibrant green colors. But i need to think about my carnasaur too. After imagining my orange tegu on carnasaur, i got little bit worried actually. jungle is green , carnasaur has to be in contrast with that and carnasaur has to be in contrast with the rider. People maybe painting tegus mor

Tegu guards + the frog mage in same unit

  I started painting with one page rules' Tegu Guards and our Anurarch the frog mage. I thought deeply about what to print first and paint after and decided finally with one of the main units in Saurian Ancients. Here is why from my perspective. Initally, Tegu Guards, with as stats below is the main protector of our character frog mage which is one of our main strong points. Tegu guards are known as temple guards by old players. Lets evaluate together. Resilient enough and with Str 5 (together with Patu), Tegu guards are fantastic killers with 2 attacks. They always strike at the end of the initiative (they are too slow) and they always take the first hit but after the first blow, they answer very strong. they have also lodestone and +1 armor penetration. Lodestone  – Close Combat, Shooting Attack Attribute for Saurian Ancients Attacks with Lodestone are subject to the following rules when rolling to hit: • Close Combat Attacks allocated towards a model with Armour 3 or more gain +
