Lord Hollowell of Great Bridge

Warden of the Western Waterways, Councilmen of Peers in the city of River Ford, Adviser to Lord Brathburn of the Western Marches, Scourge of the Hag Swamp bandits and many other grandiose titles, etc.

Lord Hollowell of Great Bridge
accompanied by his faithful levy
retainers.

Like most of his peers he wears
elaborate finery to indicate his
station.

Nobles of the Western Marches can
usually be found on the field with
one or more personal banners.

Clad in full plate harness and atop
an armored destrier, the Lord
is an able combatant.

To distinguish his personal troops
from the rest of the levy, Lord
Hollowell ensures that they wear
all white, and his camp train always
has more laundresses than any other.

This command stand is made from Essex Miniatures renaissance range, mounted general, medium pikeman and a crossbowman in visored helmet. I added a pavise from the Essex Eastern European Medieval range, and a banner made from foil and hand painted. I have to say that I was blown away with how nice the Gendarmes and similar mounted figures from Essex are. They have really nice bulk and sharp detail on their armor, they'd be a breeze to paint in mass with a simple scheme but I'm not likely to plow through mine since I've been enjoying a slower detailed approach. This mini is for my fantasy setting but would totally be at home in a Renaissance army as a mercenary captain.

Still thirsty,
