The host of Lord Guinness is for a game based around a pseudo history where beers decided the heraldry of European lords during the Medieval period. In this version Guinness turned up 300 years early and was founded by Sir Guinness the Stout Hearted. Here is his mighty host ready for battle... Of course, there are only ten, and they are even expected to defend a castle!

Here we see why the Saracens don't work perfectly with the Russians... SCALE CREEP! Or is it? Maybe the medieval Russian horses were small like the norse horses. The Arabians would have been much bigger... Still, there is a serious scale issue!

Two mounted nobles for Lord Guinness. These are 1/72 Italeri Saracens, and they seem to work pretty well with the Russians!

Lord Guinness himself! I rushed through this one in order to get these figs done in time for gaming... I am not entirely happy, but at least it is gameable :)

Three more men for the defense of the lands of Sir Guinness!

I felt I was getting a bit sloppy with the shield designs, so I put some extra effort in on this one... But still, it doesn't look quite right... Note that this one lost the spear tip just before the photo was taken...

Lord Guinness' banner bearer standing tall and proud to bear the devices of Lord Guinness himself.

Lord Guinness the Stout Hearted's first knight comes forth ready for battle. I decided to paint the scale male as though it was scaled leather because I liked the look better!

What to say about this fig... Well, I got sucked into another game based around a pseudo history where beers decided the heraldry of European lord during the Medieval period. In this version Guinness turned up 300 years early and was founded by Sir Guinness the Stout Hearted. Anyway, this archer is the colour scheme test fig. I like it so I think it will define the remainder of my force!
