To “Go a Viking” or How to send those pesky Vikings “packing”.

Whilst shopping in Aldi a few months ago I found these fishing tackle shoulder bags that contained 5 tackle boxes and two smaller ones in the side pockets.

At the time I wasn’t sure how I would use them but decided to buy all 7 that were left for around AU$19.95 each. I had only a few months early ordered a purpose built army pack for my X-Wing collection as they are hard to store and take up too much war games shelf space and thought they might be useful for something similar.

I then hit on the idea that they would be perfect for my Viking Saga and Irish Saga (yet to be painted- I know the blog will come) armies.

Firstly I used the side pockets for my Saga dice, dice, and fatigue tokens.

The bottom and top tackle trays were used for my wound counters.

The zipped side pocket fitted my measuring tools and turn marker.

I then ordered some foam trays from  Knights of Dice to be able to take my two leaders and 46 other Saga Viking figures.

These were purpose built but still quite reasonably priced.

Knights of Dice buildings are superb and I have purchased a full set of their Village and Desert building Tabula Rasa ranges. These are excellent for 28mm figures with the village set ideal for a Viking raid. (Viv that must be worth a discount on my next purchase!!)

You will note the cut placed in several slots to hold the 40mm round bases of the General figures.

So there you have it – everything needed to transport my Saga army safely to a mates place or a competition.

All in the one simple shoulder bag.
