[SAGA] Rumeurs...

"Les Jomsvikings sont aussi connus pour avoir effectué des raids en Angleterre de l’est en 1009, et des incursions dans divers territoires scandinaves au début du Xe siècle. Aux alentours de 1013, les Jomsvikings ont mené campagne en Angleterre pour le compte de Svein à la barbe fourchue, et pour le camp adverse, peut-être dans le but de tirer leur propre Danegeld des Anglais, alors que la principale force d’invasion Viking conduisait Ethelred II d'Angleterre en Normandie.

En 1043, Selon le Heimskringla, Magnus Ier de Norvège décida de mettre fin à la menace que représentait les Jomsvikings. Il pilla Jomsborg, détruisit la forteresse et massacra les derniers combattants."

SAGA Northern Fury
"They came from the North spreading terror before them and leaving desolation in their path"
Studio Tomahawk and Gripping Beast Publications are proud to announce a new supplement for SAGA!

Due 1st quarter of 2012, Northern Fury will give you 4 new factions to lead into battle, and contains the Battleboards and rules needed to play these warbands. It also has new Heroes of Viking Age for these factions plus a specially designed multi player scenario which will allow you to form allegiances and vanquish your enemies.

The new factions in the Northern Fury supplement are:-
The Bretons - These warriors fought on horseback using javelins and hit and run tactics to disrupt their enemies before dealing that killer blow
The Jomsvikings - Pagan warriors who's wrath and ferocity was legendry, historians still argue about their existence, but now you can field them in your games
The Scots - Descendants of the Irish migrants established on the western coasts of Caledonia, the Scots whose spears invited death to all who came near
The Anglo-Saxons - Sons of Ælfred the Great, they were known for courage and tenacity in battle, the Vikings feared them and rightly so, at the Battle of Brunanburh the seeds of England were sown

Alongside this publication we will be releasing new ranges of Bretons and Jomsvikings miniatures as well as a host of new "Heroes of the Viking age" to complement the factions to date.

Over the next few months both Gripping Beast and Studio Tomahawk will be publishing articles on their websites which will spotlight each of the new factions in turn and give sneaky peaks of the new figures and rules prior to their release.
