My Black Dragon Army
« on: January 04, 2011, 03:01:01 »
I have taken a load of photos of the different ranks of my army. I will describe each in some detail and then post pictures. I will not do all at once, but will keep adding to this thread as I cover the different unit types comprising my army. Still as always a huge work in progress, and my army is always growing! Here are the ranks/unit types of the Black Dragon army:

The Elite Black Paladins
These knights are the top elite fighting unit in the Black Dragon army and have the highest rank of all combat units.  Mounted unit is heavily armored and equipped with weapons which include pikes, battle lances, swords, battle-axes, and flails. These elite warriors are from the upper class and typically live on large tracts of land with a manor having serfs under them. These manors usually are part of larger towns or city settlement which are under the control of a Lord or Vassal who report to the Queen. (There is no king in this Dragon realm, the Queen is the highest authority in this land). In times of war, these Lords and Vassals will bring their troops to battle for the Queen. The Paladins also accompany them.

In wartimes, the Paladins are led by Lord Alderran who is the general of the entire army, and lives in a manor in the fortified central royal castle town. He is easily identified in the pictures by his armor.

They look absolutely great BKRealm! And a love a good background story. I am really looking forward to see more of your army and hear more of the realms!

One thing though, is there a reason you use Silver Chainmail hair on Lord Alderran instead of giold?

Very impressive, although I guess Lord Alderran's life insurance premiums must be on the high side with that conspicuous suit of amour.   :)

Yes, firstly because I dont have a gold one  ;D
Second, I actually think the silver one looks a little more realistic. But if and when I get a gold one, I will definitely try it!

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. Today I will be updating this thread with new pictures/writeup.

Ok, so first we had the Elite Paladins who are the top ranking combat unit. Next we have my other cavalry unit, simply called the Black Knights. These knights you may call "light cavalry", though they are actually very well outfitted as far as helmetry and weaponry. They do not have heavy armor however, as they are designed as a combination of speed and fighting strength. They are able to cover far distances rather quickly. They are lead by an elite knight named Sir Godfrey who is also easily recognizable by his slightly different appearance. These units are very effective especially against siege engines, and missile units (crossbowmen, longbowmen, archers). However they are an excellent all around fighting unit combining their speed advantage with their weaponry. They are all armed with pikes making them a lethal cavalry unit against really most other infantry units and hold their own against heavier cavalry. They also are armed with sword belts making them even more "all purpose".
