Title: Wargaming Westeros & Other Stuff in 28mm: Pelargir Marines 03/08/17
Post by: biomenace on March 24, 2015, 12:20:47 AM
I started painting Stannis' forces over the last few weeks. Here is what I have so far;

“I defeated your uncle Victarion and his Iron Fleet off Fair Isle, the first time your father crowned himself. I held Storm's End against the power of the Reach for a year, and took Dragonstone from the Targaryens. I smashed Mance Rayder at the Wall, though he had twenty times my numbers. Tell me, turncloak, what battles has the Bastard of Bolton ever won that I should fear him?” Stannis Baratheon to Theon Greyjoy

Experienced in siege warfare Stannis Baratheon has held and taken numerous, castles, forts and walled cities throughout his military career. During Robert’s Rebellion Stannis successfully defended Storms End during a year long siege by the vast ground forces of House Tyrell & powerful navy of house Redwyne. Stannis honed these abilities storming the remaining Targaryen holdings on Dragonstone and those of their sworn houses on the surrounding islands. During Baylon Greyjoy’s Rebellion Stannis commanded the invasion of Great Wyck, an large Island controlled from the formidable Castle Hammerhorn, seat of House Goodbrother. Stannis’ battle plans often rely on the armoured heavy infantry of Westerosi Lords, knights & their men at arms. They are shown here in a formation of narrow frontage and six ranks deep.

I always like to see Game of Thrones/ A Song of Ice and Fire dedicated threads!  :D

You did a really good job on the iron of the armour! Only thing I'd like to say, is the lack of yellow, the color of house Baratheon

Thanks, I'm really pleased with them! The Armour was Army Painter metal spray & Nuln Oil. 

On the lack of yellow, I was going for Lords/knights/Men at Arms loyal to House Baratheon (Celtigar, Velaryon, Bar Emmon & Florent) I have some more Perry Minatures armoured troops both on foot and mounted who are going to be Stannis' liveried retainers - so lots of yellow on the way!

Finished these last night;

Deployed cleverly longbowmen can be devastating against most formations. In the hands of a practised archer, a six foot yew longbow can penetrate all armour excepting the heavy plate of Westerosi nobles. Keeping a good stocks of well stored longbows and sufficient ammunition can be the key to success on campaign.

“Whatever doubts his lords might nurse, the common men seemed to have faith in their king.” On Stannis Baratheon, A Dance With Dragons.

The bulk of Westerosi armies are levied ‘smallfolk’ who fight with a range of weapons & armour depending upon the demands of the situation & means of their lord. These men of the Stormlands armed with bills are led by an unnamed knight.

Whether the noble warriors of chivalric tales in the flesh or grimly determined professional retainers, plate armoured troops on barded warhorses are all generally referred to as knights. The paramount shock troops in Westeros, knights are able to shatter the moral of lesser enemy formations with a single devastating charge. During the War of the Five Kings Stannis defeats the Wildling army of Mance Rayder using his knights in a surprise attack.

“through the smoke another wedge of armoured riders came, on barded horses. Floating above them were the largest banners yet, royal standards as big as sheets; a yellow one with long pointed tongues that showed a flaming heart, and another like a sheet of beaten gold, with a black stag prancing and rippling in the wind.” A Storm of Swords, Chapter 73, Jon.

The knights shown here wear the yellow of Stannis’ personal retinue.

Cheers LordOdo! Large update today as I have photographed the stuff that I painted throughout the week. First up however some crossbowmen I did a few weeks ago and forgot to post.

Cranequin or windlass loaded crossbows can have a huge draw weight and are capable of punching through even heavy plate. Although they are unwieldy & high maintenance , heavy crossbows allow the common soldier to kill even the most lavishly armoured noble. In long static battle such as sieges where there is time enough to reload and ample ammunition the heavy crossbow is indispensable. These crossbowmen wear the yellow livery of House Baratheon.

“From their ornate saddles were slung the round metal shields they favored, and many carried bundles of short throwing spears, or the double-curved Dornish bows they used so well from horseback.” Storm of Swords

The Commander of Dornish forces, Castelian of Sunspear, cousin to the Prince of Dorne - Manfrey Martell. His retinue bear Manfrey’s personal colours, a yellow and red sunburst sigil on a blue field.

Manfrey's body & horse is from the Conquest Games Norman knights box, head from Gripping Beast Arab spearmen, shield Fireforge Mongol horsemen & mace from one of the Perry late medieval sets. They are all armed with recurve bows.

"To spears!" a man bellowed from a balcony. "Doran!" called some highborn voice. "To the spears!" Hotah gave up looking for the speakers; the press was too thick, and a third of them were shouting. "To spears! Vengeance for the Viper!" By the time they reached the third gate, the guards were shoving people aside to clear a path for the prince's litter, and the crowd was throwing things. A Feast For Crows 

In Dorne the spear is a warrior’s most important weapon, nobles and smallfolk alike train with the spear from childhood. The people of Dorne are quick to arms & their spear levies are a key part of Dorne's military strength. Shown here is a group of spearmen equipped from Manfry martell’s own armoury, bearing liveried shields.

“The fabled sand steeds of Dorne were smaller than proper warhorses and could not bear such weight of armor, but it was said that they could run for a day and night and another day, and never tire.” Storm of Swords

Men from the deep deserts of Dorne mounted on sand steeds are the finest outriders and scouts available to any commander in westeros. As tireless and resilient as their mounts, they are capable of enduring hunger, thirst, sandstorms, scorching heat, the bitter cold of desert nights and still launch surprise attacks on enemy formations.

For Miantanomo,

"Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone and by the grace of the gods rightful heir to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, was broad of shoulder and sinewy of limb, with a tightness to his face and flesh that spoke of leather cured in the sun until it was as tough as steel. Hard was the word men used when they spoke of Stannis, and hard he was..... [he] kept his own whiskers cropped tight and short. They lay like a blue-black shadow across his square jaw and the bony hollows of his cheeks. His eyes were open wounds beneath his heavy brows, a blue as dark as the sea by night. His mouth would have given despair to even the drollest of fools; it was a mouth made for frowns and scowls and sharply worded commands, all thin pale lips and clenched muscles, a mouth that had forgotten how to smile and had never known how to laugh.

Shown here is Stannis Baratheon, in plain and functional plate armour. (grinding his teeth)

Very nice, I'm soon gonna be starting a similar project for Westeros just using the Perry plastics, so this is nice to see.

Are the bases you are using the ones that come with the Perry boxes, the green 20x20 ones? I'm debating myself whether to use them or Games Workshop bases.

Also, where are your Manderly bodies with scale armour from?

Thanks Elgis, I was going for a fish scales armour look. Something different from the War of the Roses armour on the Southern houses but still wealthy and well equipped. 

I recently painted these Northmen light cavalry / outriders . I always imagined that the northern armies used a higher proportion of lighter cavalry what with the difficult terrain, long distances and really cold weather. Certainly the horses of the Southron knights suffer badly during Stannis Baratheon's march on Winterfell.

Post by: Elgis on August 13, 2015, 01:20:21 PM
Nice horsemen and wights!

I agree to an extent- but more in the sense that southern cavalry would be more late 14th/ 15th men at arms for the most part, with  northern cavalry being a bit lighter and with more light cavalry, but still somewhat heavy- after all, they do win some of the early battles with shock so they can't be that light to my mind.

That said, I think there is a part where Robb asks how many knights there are in the Northern army, only to be told that there is no real difference between his knights and other noble cavalry- more of a 'southern mindset/ ideal of honour' type comment than anything, but still....

I'm taking a slight divergence form the ASOIAF / GOT theme into more generic fantasy. Started on these Mantic skeleton warriors. I really like the models, they have a grungy Diablo II vibe.  They aren't finished, I'm thinking of an 'evil eye' symbol in white for their shields. Anybody got any suggestions? Pictures or links to examples would really help.

Shown here is an Ironborn raiding party lead by Left Hand Lucas Codd. Men of House Wynch (bloody moon on purple), Stonetree (Grey tree on black) and various lesser houses have sworn to follow the Left Hand.

After a massive break from painting due to a combination of work and CKII, I have had a go drawing, then painting a house sigil on paper to use a banner.

Robert Glover is a man whose fortunes have risen and fallen dramatically on the tides of war. At the outbreak of the War of The Five Kings Robert Glover sat at the high table of Rob Stark King of the North, sharing in the glory of the Young King's victories.

Roberts woes began with the capture of Deepwood Mott by the Ironborn, where his wife and children were taken captive. At the battle of Dukesdale the Northern forces under his command were crushed, he was then taken captive leading the survivors in retreat along the Kingsroad.

After Robb Stark secured his release in exchange for Martyn Lannister, Glover found himself adrift without men or gold, his family seat lost. Reduced to begging for assistance at the court of Wyman Manderly Robert looks desperately to regain his lands and avenge his fallen kinsmen.

Robert Glover is shown here with a meager retinue.

Lots of very nice builds and colour schemes in this thread. I'm very taken with House Locke. May have to do a few of those myself  :)
Great stuff. Please keep up the good work. Some great ideas for inspiration in here.

First post in a year.

Jon Cupps elevated the fortunes of his minor house by marring Leyla Hightower, daughter of Leyton Hightower - head of one of the oldest, richest families in Westeros. Ser Jon Cupps is shown here in plate mail brandishing a poleaxe - his house sigil, two golden goblets on a scarlet field is shown at his left - the banner of his wife's house, a white tower on grey is to his right.

In peacetime these drilled pikemen are charged with protecting one of the many ancient stone bridges which cross the Honeywine.

Pelagir is the greatest port city in Gondor, it lies to the south of Minas Tirith at the mouth of the Anduin river. One of the first places settled by Númenóreans in Middle Earth, it is the traditional base of operations for Gondorian fleets. The men of Pelagir most often serve as sailors, manning the warships and merchant vessels of Gondor. Shown here are a unit of Pelagir Marines, stalwart warriors at home fighting from the decks of ships.        

Pelagir Marines were my favourite unit in the Medieval Total War MOD 'Third Age' - early game heavy infantry with javelins, i'm not sure if they are Tolkien cannon or just invented for the game?

Nice work on both updates. Been a while since I read any Tolkien, but I'd guess the unit type is a game thing and not a book thing.

Great stuff, sneaking those Carthaginian ("Phoenician"?) helmets in there was a nice touch!  :)
