These are Mantic figures for Kings of War/Vanguard from the Northern Alliance faction - not sure where they got the brilliant idea for a bunch of fur clad northern beserk beardy types wearing heavy furs and wielding even heavier weapons. The tiny head/big shoulders aesthetic is typical Mantic.
Three of the figures are made from that Restik stuff and I'm not really a fan - there always seem to be a lot of mold lines and I inevitably miss a couple and can't face cleaning it up once there's paint on the model. Restik does support a lot of detail - perhaps too much.
Not having an Osprey to turn to I consulted with a colour expert to try and fix some of the initial problems I had trying to find something to work with the blue - I really like the colour shift paints for fantasy metallics. This one is "Blue Raspberry" from Turbodork.
In the SAGA system a unit of hearthguard is one point and the recommended army size for Age of Magic is 8 points so I'm hoping to get a whole army finished over the course of the quarantine, even allowing for other distractions. I played my first game of quarantine SAGA on Table Top Simulator last week and it was a lot of fun - it's quite easy to accidentally drop your figures and have them go rolling all over the place - at least you don't have to reglue and repaint them.
