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.

Making your bases

One of the most over-sight things but "not for me". I like to make my bases nicely and want to create a theme for my armies. This time for Saurian Ancients i wanted to do the same. This is the final look of my 50x50mm base. To create this look i have used the below materials and here is how i made this base. 1. Cut mdf pieces. Do you remember the army list i gave in my first thread?  i got them cut in a wood atelier ,according to model measures. Skinks in 20x20mm , tegu guards 25x25cm , Frog mage 50x50mm etc. 2. Texture paste. I aplied a texture paste on the bases. Waited all to be dried. 3. Used 2 different sand types. One of them is more sandy . One is more on rocky type. Glued them on the base. Waited for them to be dried. and stabilized. 4. I drunk tea with my wife on friday night and used the remaining tea residues on this project. It gives fantastic leaves in jungle effect. 5. I bought some stuff from hobby store, which looks like some meadows in a jungle.  After these ...

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 g...
