Just ghoulish!

I started the above in lockdown. I think it was nostalgia for fantasy played when younger - understandable emotion since I was in my late 40's at the time - and the strong AOS community I appeared to be witnessing through such things as AOS Coach and 2+ Tough. 

In any case ... I purchased some Flesh Eater Courts models. Imaginatively, I'd also defend the purchase by stated my great fascination for the ghoul in weird fiction. The models were fun to paint and assemble (mostly) and they certainly matched my mental image of a ghoul. 

Two years or so on and I've painted all but three models. I used only the ghouls in Mordheim over the past 18 months and had just about assigned them to forgetful storage when I was compelled to try Warcry. In this I used a few more models from my ghoulish collection but nowhere near the full amount. (Side note: my mind is still not made up on Warcry apart from the fact I think Mordheim is better.) 

And then I finally acquired a copy of Saga 2nd edition under the assumption I would never play the rules (or only 1-2 times) as I'm the only person in my wargames club with any Dark Age figures. 

Then in one night ... Saga kicked off. 

There are now four of us with the rules and two of those grabbed Age of Magic as well. 

Thats when my ghouls burst from the crypt and into a new life. My painted FEC courts army (i really had only a fleeting intention of ever played Age of Sigmar - as I knew in my wargaming soul the rules and esp the list as little more than steaming shite) easily gives me 8 points in Saga with a couple of choices too for variety. 

Instead of Flesh Eater Courts, the 'Carrion Realm' will surge from their darkness enshrouded underworld to grasp the throats and savage the entrails of the living. I'm very keen to play a game but must await my much slower (painting and modelling) wargaming companions to amass their forces. 

Out of interest the images show - 5 units of 8 warriors, 1 monster, 1 warlord, another ghoul hero - purpose unclear for Saga, and 2 groups of creatures (one bipedal and the other flying.) This easily gives me a few options to form larger units of warriors or make the creature units larger by adding another model (at the cost of breaking up a warrior unit.) As can be seen, I have the Sigmarite Mausoleum scenery to enable my placement of a sacred ground:crypt as per the Undead Legions rules.
