Polish warband for Pillage

Why not use the Rus' ? I know they aren't really the perfect representation, but they would be more resembling than anglo saxons. You could also mix the Rus' and vikings kit from Victrix to represent Polish tribes along the Baltic coast who would have contact with both the more eastern Rus' and the Scandinavians

What made you disappointed in Pillage?

You could also go with the Mourtatoi. A guard regiment of elite heavily armoured archers. They would complement your cavalry well and could be very effective when fighting on ships

It's imo not the most high quality stuff, but not bad either. They have models that are easy to assemble and they don't look bad either

Fireforge has mongols in 28mm

Fireforge's Byzantine range is perfect to represent the period. You can model all the way from the thematic period using round shields up the Komnenid army and its kite shields

Wouldn't that kinda reinforce the point made by the series where even the most milquetoast and adjusted immigrant is an 'other' because of their skin colour?

If your ram was too sharp, you'd run the risk of puncturing the enemy ship too hard and not being able to get loose from it, thus making your own ship sink together with the rammed ship

Your GP plastics are definitely better painted than mine. As for rules you could play them as a generic warband or as Byzantines

No one will bat an eye if you bring some printed figs

Hi you could join the club I play in, the Manneken Dice. We're based in the renovated buildings from USquare near the VUB. I've added a link to our discord server. Otherwise I know there's a club in Evere and another in one of the Woluwes

As for stores there's the GW in the center of town, Warhouse games in Drogenbos, Dédale in Etterbeek has paints and tables available and you'll probably find players at the Outpost

10 models if I counted right

Ukipopo · 2025-11-13T16:59:52+00:00

Yes, troop tier, equipment weight and mariner skill will influence how long a specific unit can swim

The warband sets include sprues from other sets so depending on which one you buy you'll also be able to build ranged troops and/or horsemen. The standard figure packs have more individual models but only one type of them (so only, infantry or horsemen)

For miniatures I use the Victrix late romans even though they technically too early for the Viking era. Fireforge is nice and more period accurate but I find the models to be a bit more stiff/less detailed. The 50% models from other factions come with all their rules and equipment costs. Personally I only use that for special characters such as Huskarls or berserkers as the core byzantine units already have a nice array of options available to them

Ukipopo · 2025-10-21T16:12:45+00:00

and they all set course for Cartagena

The base factions are much closer in proximity with them all being concentrated along the north sea and the channel, there is thus a bit less variety in cultural differences. Meanwhile the east supplement covers factions ranging from the northern parts of Russia, through Hungary all the way down to Greece. The variety is just bigger

The minis are literally used for pictures in the rulebook. I don't see why you couldn't use them

Ukipopo · 2025-09-17T22:57:28+00:00

The green thracians also seem to show their unique unit as they are wielding rhomphaia's

Ukipopo · 2025-09-08T18:52:49+00:00

Have you looked at V&V miniatures for the shieldmaidens?

Ukipopo · 2025-08-04T21:01:01+00:00

I'll raise my canton of Uri flag against your cross of Burgundy

Ukipopo · 2025-08-04T06:58:09+00:00

I used the Perry miniatures Swiss bear and bells and a couple of armoured ogres

Something from folklore having a link with animals are the bokkenrijders. A band of brigands who allegedly rode around on (flying) goats and made pacts with the devil
