Pour Stonewall!

Gripping Beast va lancer demain une bande de zombies pour Saga!!! (ceci n'est pas un poisson d'avril)

C'est à dire ?

Tu veux dire une armée zombie en cours de création ? o0

ben des zombies, quoi, pour jouer,

Je viens de voir ca sur le fofo officiel, du coup saga prend un virage fantastique avec ca ?

Non. C'est très historique, les attaques de zombies. Olivier pourrait te passer plein de bouquins sur la question.

Apparemment, c'est un supplément "revenants" que Gripping Beast aurait fait dans le dos de Studio Tomahawk. Wait and see.

Mais, forcément, maintenant que GW a suicidé Battle, c'est la course pour adapter des systèmes rôdés et prendre le marché.

Oui j ai l impression que l accueil du studio est un peu frais.

SAGA: Revenants is a new Faction for the SAGA game system. It is for use with the main rules in the SAGA Dark Age Skirmishes or SAGA The Crescent & The Cross rulebooks. Please note that this faction is not part of the main SAGA canon and as such is not for tournament play.

It is designed to give you something different and fun to play between friends or at friendly club meetings. We hope you enjoy it!

This faction has its basis in the myths, legends, sagas and superstitions of the Early Middle Ages and gives form to a belief in the supernatural, in particular the art of Necromancy, that in our more ‘enlightened’ times we might call fantastical. But not so to the Early Middle Age mind. The term Revenant would have been widely known across the Western Europe of our period and is a catch-all term for visible ghosts or animated corpses returned from the grave to terrorize the living. The word "revenant" is derived from the Latin, reveniens, "returning" (the French verb ‘revenir’, means "to come back"). We have deliberately not written much by way of ‘fluff’ for the faction so, with a little research, you can adapt it for use in games against any of the Dark Age or Crusades factions. For example, the Norse tradition of Seidr sorcery features many examples of necromancy and the Draugar (Again-Walkers). In the Saga of King Hrolf Kraki, the half-elf witch Skuld was so powerful that, during battle, when her devoted warriors were cut down, she would raise them up to continue the fight. Very handy. Irish mythology has the ‘Neamh Mairbh’ returning from the dead and the Welsh Mabinogion tells of the Cauldron of Rebirth in which dead warriors could be placed and then be returned to life, voiceless and soulless, to fight again. Tales brought back by the Crusaders were rife with stories of Saracen Sorcerers with power over the dead and typically, the Templars were often accused of practising dark arts.

All this for £85

J'ai remarqué qu'il y a 12 dés et non 8 comme avec les autres factions.
On va donc avoir un necromancien en tant que lord et le rab de dés ca sent la magie pour faire des invocations durant la partie.
Olivier va craquer je sens

Les figurines ne sont pas top. Les revenants ressemblent un peu trop aux gobelins du Hobbit...
Ce serait bien si on pouvait se procurer les dés, les règles et le plateau. J'ai des figurines de morts-vivants pour Mordheim qui passeraient.

Les dés à la limite on peut faire sans, le plateau on va trouver je pense.

Oui, effectivement.
Je n'arriverai jamais à me faire à la gravure GB.

Ben c'est ce que je me suis dit lorsque j'ai acheté mes figs crusader et surtout footsore, GB c'est vraiment plus frustre comme gravure.

déjà qu'on trouve pas assez de soirées pour SAGA historique et tout le reste, si en plus il faut "caser" du SAGA fantastique...... dur dur !

Vivement la grève générale!

Partant pour saga historique quand vous voulez
