Easy Does It

After some time today I managed to finish off Ser Geraint Blondel's retainers, who are remarkably restrained in terms of the clothes they're wearing compared to all the other retainers in both Renly-aligned and Joffrey-aligned warbands:

A slightly fuzzy photo irritatingly, but it shows them all quite nicely. Ser Blondel's actually not got a full suit of plate; his lower legs and back legs are quite exposed. Perhaps House Blondel is on hard times...

I really like the little wooly grey cap the longbowman's wearing

I had to call someone Simple Simon, even if he isn't a pie-man, and the way his face turned out meant the longbowman was the perfect candidate. Jon of Loxby and Careful Tom are the billmen

The padded leather jerkins worn by the billmen, combined with their matching leather satchels and bills, suggests that the House has something resembling a uniform for their men-at-arms

I decided against painting livery badges for the billmen in the end, with just Simple Simon wearing the House's livery on his surcoat. The three golden discs are perhaps coins, or maybe apples. I'm not sure yet. With these chaps done, all that's left now are Dexter Hill's retainers. Dexter Hill is a bastard child (hence the lack of noble title) hoping to use the war to either make his own name or convince his father to grant him title and name. I think his retainers will be dressed in his father's livery, so I need to have a think about what House they're actually from.

Painting Points:
Today: 3
This Week: 3
2025: 392
