The Bannerman: Freeblade Knights (Patreon)

Here’s the WIP for the Mercenary Knights.

With this unit, the goal was the opposite of the polished cavalry from the High Kingdom or Avernia. No perfect parade lines here—just a group of riders from half the world, each with mismatched armor, patched barding, and whatever gear they’ve managed to keep over the years.

That’s why you’ll see a mix of parts everywhere: plates that don’t belong to the same harness, different horse coverings, lances that aren’t identical… but still keeping a common silhouette so they work together on the table. The first pose is already done, and the rest will follow this direction.

We’re undecided about one thing:Should they have crests on the helmets, or should we keep the helmets plain and practical?

Let us know what feels more fitting for a band of hired swords: a bit of flair, or a clean, veteran look.
