I am a huge fan of George RR Martins Song of Ice and Fire series of novels. If you don't have a clue of what Im speaking about look it up and have yourself a great read, you wont regret it. Anyhow I have always wanted to make an army based off of the series. I have been thinking about which army to use, either bretonnia or the empire. Bretonnia finally won me over because the army feels more like something from the books. This is NOT an optimized army but I would like comments on what people think about both the execution of the theme and the overall construction and competitiveness. There aren't as many foot soldiers as I would like but I wanted to spread out the characters so as not to make character laden uber units. To do this I had to take a few more knights than I normally would for this kind of army, but I think it fits. I used magic items and virtues to try and flesh out the different aspects of each personality in the army and I think I did a pretty decent job. Anyway enough rambling. As usual any C&C would be much appreciated.
