A warrior Queen and her comitatus

There are six figures in all. First of all, the Queen herself and her trusted councillor, a wizard.

Next, the four members of her comitatus. First, two trusted bodyguards;

and finally, her Champion and her Herald;

These are all 28mm metal Oathmark Humans from North Star. I really like these metal leaders and champions. They have a solid and businesslike feel to them and are nice to paint. There are several more sets of these metal figures,  mostly on foot but also some mounted ones, all of them holding lots of possibilities for use in many settings, including D&D and Frostgrave. 

These ones are very heavily-armoured, with mail and long leather jerkins with sewn-on metal plates which I've chosen to paint in bronze rather than iron, because I think it gives them a rather "barbarian kingdom" feel to them. They definitely look like serious business rather than flowers of chivalry, which I think suits a lot of small scale fantasy games.
