I build 6 new knights for a Glover light cavalry unit for Lion Rampant. There will be Glover knights and knights from other houses who serve House Glover. So the sigils will not be all the same.

This is the officer of the unit. I built him from Perry and Fireforge parts. The body is cut in half at the waist the lower body is from Fireforge the upper body from the Perry light Cav. set The Arms are fire forge the head is from Perry. The Feathers are from my bits box ( I think from a GW helmet). The horse is a fire forge one with a Perry horse head. This knight will be from House Forester. ( Sigil will be a Tree green and brown on a red field). As there is no mentioning of the sigil of House Forester in the books I made it up myself.

The next one is a banner bearer. Built from a Perry light horse body and fire forge arms and helmet. The horse is a fire forge one again with a Perry head. This knight will be a House Glover household knight.

The next one will be a House Branch knight. As there is no description of the House Branch sigil in the books I made one up again . White field with red branch ( chanting heraldry). A strait build from the Perry light horse box except the shield it is from the Gripping Beast dark age warrior set. I cut of the boss to have more space for the sigil. I used these parts as I wanted to depict a knight who spend his youth in Dorne .

The next knight is another Glover household knight. A strait build from the light horse box by Perry with a Fireforge shield.

Next one is again a Perry light horse body with a firgeforge head and shield. This knight is from House Wood again chanting arms by myself as not mentioned in the books. 6 trees green and brown on a field white over red .

The last knight is from House Bole. Again no Sigil mentioned in the books. So I made one up again. A bole natural colors on a field white and red. A strait build from the Perry light horse set with a fire forge shield.

I tried to have some variations in the sigils but keep them together as a unit therefore the Glover colors as field in the arms of the different houses. The only mentioning of the houses above is in “Lady Sybelle Glover provides scouts from House Bole, Branch,forester and Wood to Stannis Baratheon for his march on Winterfell through the wolfs wood. (A Dance with Dragons, Chapter 42, The King’s Prize.)

I will post pictures of the painted knights when finished.

The Banner Bearer of the Glover mixed unit

This is the banner bearer of the unit. It is a Perry HYW body and a Perry mercenary pike arm. The shield is from Fireforge miniatures. The heraldry on the shield is a overpainted decal by Schildschmie.de. The banner is freehand. As the House Glover is a house affiliated with the House Stark I painted the Stark sigil in the hoist of the banner and the Glover one behind. A little bit like the standards used in the WotR. In the books the banners are often discribed as flying above or below each other but I thought this concept is better.

The next Glover bowman

After the long weekend with the bank holiday I can present the next Glover bowman.

It is a HYW Perry English archer body and when I remember correctly a head from the conquest games archer box.

next up will be the banner bearer of the unit!

The first glover archer

This is a Glover archer. A strait build from the Perry HYW English plastic box set.

hope you like him!

The first Glover warrior

10. May 2016 thomasriepe 28mm figure, A song of ice and fire, Dragon Rampant, Fireforge, Game of Thrones, George R R Martin, GoT figures, Perry miniatures, Season 6

This is the first Glover spear armed warrior. He is build from the French Perry HYW set. The shield is from Fire Forge. With these figures I went a different way concerning the heraldry. I used transfers from Schildschmie.de . But I painted over the transfer to blend it in with my other GoT figures. I am not sure if this approach is really better then to do them freehand like on my other figures.

Hope you like the figure ! Feel free to leave a comment !

House Glover!

9. May 2016 thomasriepe 28mm figure, A song of ice and fire, Dragon Rampant, fantasy wargaming, fireforge miniatures, Game of Thrones, George R R Martin, GoT figures, House Glover, Season 6

I started doing a vassal house of the Starks of Winterfell to be able to field different armies in Dragon Rampant.It will be a mixed unit of Archers and billman.

House Glover is a noble house from the Wolfswood .The Wolfswood is a forest in the North of Westeros. It is located just north of Winterfell and extends for some three hundred miles north and west to the Bay of Ice. The Glovers are loyal vassals of House Stark of Winterfell, and have their seat at the wooden stronghold Deepwood Motte. Their lands extend throughout the Wolfswood, north-west of Winterfell. The head of the house is the Master of Deepwood Motte( a wooden motte-and-bailey castle) stronghold of House Glover. The castle is located north-west of Winterfell in the Wolfswood, near the coast of the Bay of Ice.

Here is Ser Gawen Glover heir of house Glover of deepwood motte:

He is one of Robb Starks hearth guard knights and leads the Glover household troops into battle. I painted him earlier, the heraldic design was painted freehand.

So the Lannister army is finished for the time being .

Here you can see pictures of the completed army: I desaturated the pictures a bit as I think they look better this way . What do you think which color saturation is better ? Just compare with older pictures on the blog, please!
