The Sun Shines On Us!

One of the things I'm enjoying about this little Ruckus project in the Song of Ice and Fire setting is coming up with all the House Words - "Aim True", "Green Grows The Wood" and now "The Sun Shines On Us". House Merryweather (properly Chulain-Merryweather) has an interesting and quite colourful coat of arms which was an interesting challenge to put on the longbowman, but I think the end result is quite solid. 

Emmaline Merryweather (second from right) with her retainers - the longbowman's coat is a less fancy version of hers, with only one each of the sigils

This angle shows you the green colour of Merryweather...

...and this angle shows you the red and black of House Chulain

I couldn't fit Emmaline's whole name on her base, so Merryweather it is!

With the completion of Merryweather and her retainers, the whole Renly-aligned retinue of Ser Chulain is complete:

Left to right - House Chulain-Merryweather, House Chulain, House Greenwood. Five longbowmen, four billmen, three minor nobles, a standard bearer and a herald

 Next up, of course, are the dastardly Lannister/Baratheon forces loyal to King Joffrey I Baratheon:

These were originally being painted by an old friend of mine many years ago, so I'll be painting over a bunch of this I think. I don't have a herald for the loyalists, but I do have a standard bearer so I might do a banner that combines Joffrey's arms with the arm of the captain's House Banefort.
