Chris you forgot to mention the Skrealings
For you guys who don't know about the skrealings war band they were a one off limited edition release by gripping beast at salute 2012 and are now discontinued. ( i was one of the lucky ones to pick up them up at salute)
skrealings are native american indians that came into conflict with viking settlers in Newfoundland and greenland.
Skrealings have to be one of the most powerful faction so much so they have been band from all official Saga tournaments.
They don't have there own saga dice so they can use any type. in which they only need one of each symbol on the dice to pay for saga abilities, not a certain combination. They have many abilities that let you use the abilities of your opponents battle board.
They have an abilitie that stops your opponent using one of there abilities for the whole game. (thats Valhalla gone when playing vikings).
They they don't have to minus there saga dice for each one left on the board if they use activation pool, so you can end up rolling 8 saga dice
in one turn.
and there best one lets you generate a unit of warriors from your board edge ever turn with the right dice (zombie indians).
Word of advice guys study your battle boards that is where I went wrong when playing chris he nows his battle boards inside and out battle boards are the key to winning at saga.
Ps I wrote two faction articles for BOW on the vikings and welsh, I was going to do more for them but had to knock it on the head as I just didn't have the time. check them out with the link below
