:o You're a painting machine! In awe of the rate you finish these!
These are by no means finished! I wish 'by the Seven' that they all were! In many cases I have been slowly building up the numbers over a long time ;D - My process is to build/assign the figures to the relevant factions/houses and then devise and paint the sigils and only THEN go on to complete the rest of the painting. I find that once I've assigned the heraldry to the figures they take on a character all of their own. Once they belong to a house I then go back and work on a house at a time. This is after a lengthy reorganisation. To put it into context I started this project not that long after the Perry WoTR had come out but their Agincourt range hadn't and the Fireforge feudals were not yet available. Having built a load of HYW and Fireforge feudals to bulk out the numbers I had to repaint a load to match my vision of the world building assigning. I assigned the WoTR & HYW mainly to the Westerlands and The Reach and the feudals have fleshed out the Riverlands, the Vale and the North. I still have a very long road to go but they are at least photogenic enough to get an impression of the finished outcome.
Warriors dreams, summer grasses, all that remains

Makes perfect sense if you are trying to build a coherent force.

Looking forward to seeing them all finished

The Crownlands contingent of the Duskendale Alliance, Houses (top to bottom) Stokeworth, Rykker and Rosby, with respective mounted knights/men at arms plus mounted sergeants with my take on Hayford, Buckwell and semi-canon Mallery. The contingent is 12 infantry short for combining comfortably into various Lion/Dragon Rampant units so I will probably end up making a composite unit from lesser houses.

Nicely done! I like how the Stokeworth lamb has turned out especially!

How do you decide on the composition for your infantry? Is it consistently 6 melee and 6 ranged?

I may have to nab your process and set up some blocks of Narrow-Sea Houses!

Each House unit is made up of 6 melee (including 1 captain and 1 standard bearer) and 6 ranged weapons (typically 4 bow and 2 crossbow) - see attached image of House Stokeworth. One house per region is outfitted with 6 bow to act as a scout/specialist unit. Each house can operate independently but will usually combine with up to 3 neighbouring houses to defend a district. For campaign purposes I have subdivided each region under the control of 12 houses. In the case of the Crownlands (due to its proximity to King's Landing) only 3 major houses are fielded. This gives 12 bow, a mixed unit of 6 crossbow and 6 pavisiers, 12 foot men at arms, and 6 cavalry. This equates to approx. 16 points in Lion Rampant terms. The expectation is the Crownlands will act as an allied contingent or be supported in turn by allies. However I have a few HYW figures left over so will probably add a mixed unit from the lesser houses mentioned.

I somehow missed the last set of photos .... great work, I’m in full admiration for the range of Houses you’ve achieved.

Would love a closeup of the House Buckwell heraldry in particular  8)
