Figbarf for Task 1 & 2 [Dandelume, Avalonia]

[T-86(swebrickLUG)]

I have done a large update for Task 1 (armed forces) and Task 2 (sigfig and entourage) for my ongoing city-project Dandelume and thought I would do a post since Im very satisfied with how all the figs turned out! C&C as always welcome. 

Task 1: Armed forces of Dandelume

All the different races from the population are represented in the regular army of Dandelume: Men, elves, centaurs, fauns and so on. Always ready to defend the city, its people and in extension answer potential call for aid from the queen regent Ylspeth.

The colors of the dandelumian armed forces is the avalonian dark/sand-green for uniforms and tunics etc. Hoods, cloakes and gloves on the other hand bare the color of dark red. A symbol for ’the red dawn’ which play a crucial role in the birth, history, folklore and future of Dandelume. In the ’Horn Squadron’ they pay tribute to the first dandelumian settlers that followed deer, by wearing large horns on their dragon helmets. A tradition/custom dating back to the days of heroine Dand El Alume, whom was said to have worn a helmet with great antlers in battle.

The mounted knights in the cavalry legion ”Flight of the dragons” wear helmets with thin steel wings. Their units standard bearer is a infantryman that lifts a lance with a dark green dragon. An honouring of the historical ’Flight of the dragons’ led by Artorious Rex said to have sounded like the wings of a dragon when they were charging forward.

The dandelumian armed forces are composed of six smaller legions:

Light footmen: Sword- and spearmen

Vanguard: Scouts, workmen and sappers

Artillery: Ballistas and scorpios (only used in sieges)

No photo available.

Archers: Bowmen and arbelists

Heavy footmen: The court champions (seen in photo with the duke below) and the 'Horn squadron'

Cavalry: “Flight of the dragons”, mounted knights.
