The other day we had a small Dragon Rampant battle between the House Glover and House Lannister over a bridge crossing one of the tributaries of the Trident. Here is the deployment:

Sorry no more pictures, as we got carried away while gaming! It was a Lannister victory.

The Glover Knights banner bearer

This is the Glover Knight unit banner bearer. I designed the banner differently from my other banners this time. In the books the banners of the sworn Houses are always or at least very often described as showing the Sigil of the house they are sworn to above the own house sigil. Here it is House Stark above House Glover. This makes for a bit of variety on the field of battle later on.

The figure was build with parts from Perry and Fireforge . As can be seen here:

And more pictures of the knight:

And the complete unit (missing one knight, which is not painted yet):

And the complete House Glover mesnie ( – one knight)

And I somehow forgot to show you the House Brax mesnie as far as it is finished last time . So here are the pictures:

When I finish this unit, another 5 figures to do, I will start to work on my terrain tiles. I got these a few years back from TSS. These are a good start for a terrain system but I would like to have them more realistically finished . I would like to add reeds to the river section , make the water in the river and ponds more realistic and add more gravel here and there . Then I will add some new sections to the river like a little harbor a watermill and I want to do a few tiles for a village or small town. After that of course I will have to do some more buildings.

So you see after my summer holiday there will be a prolonged time of terrain building first and of course when the Westfalia halfmen army arrives at my doorstep I will paint those too. So a lot to do for the coming month!

Another billman for the Brax army

Another bannerman of House Glover is House Woods. As there is no description of the Sigil of House Woods in the books I made one up. 6 trees on a field white over red. The figure itself was build from a Perry light horse body and arms and a fireforge head and shield.

Here is the next knight for my House Glover force. A strait build from the Perry WotR light cavalry box set with the addition of a fireforge shield. The sigil is a transfer by Schildschmie.de with I overpainted.

Knight of the House Forrester

Here is another bannerman of House Glover. A knight from House Forrester. The Heraldic device , or Sigil, was designed by me as there is no description in the books. I tried to make visible that he is a Glover bannerman by using red and white ( the colors of House Glover) on this model too.

The model is a mixture of fireforge and Perry parts. The body consists of legs and lower torso from fireforge and upper torso from Perry. As you can better see in the unpainted picture here:

Here are more pictures of the finished knight:

and together with a House Bole Knight:
