Finally resurrecting an old project that I wanted to do from quite a while ago.
Song of Arthur and Merlin is an adaptation of the fantasy skirmish game Song of Blades and Heroes for Arthurian legend and historical post-Roman Britain. The fantasy side of the rules can either be made its primary focus or played down for a gritty game of Dark Age battle.
My project
I'm doing it in 28mm as I have plenty of fantasy miniatures in this scale already for the monstrous side with a mixture of metal and plastic figures from Gripping Beast and other manufacturers as I progress with it..
The new Gripping Beast Welsh plastics did actually help make me really keen to progress this as I had picked up some of their generic Dark Age Warriors quite a while ago, but the new figures are much more animated and interesting, though to be fair the original set is mainly aimed at building units of Saxon or similiar shieldwall where dramatic posing is not actually helpful.
The majority of the historical personalities will be metal figures from GB's Welsh, Sub-Roman British and Early Saxon ranges, with fantasy ranges from a variety of sources used to provide wizards, witches and monsters. It will include Reaper bones, North Star, Wargames Atlantic, Alternative Armies and Ral Partha.
I'll expand on that in a later post.
