Hello everyone!
Inspired by the deeds of
several other LAFers I decided to start my own GoT-themed SAGA army. Mormont came to my mind, and although i won't ever reach
the incredible level of HvM with his Impetus army i still think i can give some of my own to Bear Island.
As for now, the army will proxy Capetian Franks or Normans, both fielding heavy cavalry and lethal crossbows.
The Band will be lead by the three-times-world-champion of badassery Lady Lyanna Mormont, and will field both fierce Mormont soldiers with some Glovers as well, that after the Battle of the Bastards lost their grip and offered their Motte militia to aid the hunting party.
What they are hunting... well, it's up to them: Wildlings, giants, Boltons, bears, beavers, Boltons... did I mention Boltons?
Anyways, the final army will field:
12 mounted hearthguards with banner - Lyanna heavy guard.
12 foot soldiers with banner - Bear Fighters. They do have 2H weapons, but for the Franks rules they'll have to be counted as regular warriors.
12 foot lancers with banner - Deepwood Motte Militia. A mere apologize for the previous backstabbing by the Glovers.
8 crossbowmen - Bear Hunters.
Additionally, 12 longbowmen (levies) - reinforcement from the Northern Mountain Clans - mostly Burleys.
I've started laying some colours on the longbowmen, to warm up and test colour schemes and bases. Since - so they say - winter is coming, i've chosen an autumnal look.
Some pics of the other WIPS so far: still missing all the fur, but still.
Here a close-up of the three banners (the two infantry units and the heavy cavalry). The flags are made in resin - still have to produce a good tutorial for those - and details are from various kits.
Feedback are appreciated.
Cheers
Jack
PS: I made (badly) my own dice too!
Cheers again!
