White company: Sir Nigel Loring


I've just finished reading the White Company, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Can't believe I never read it as a kid, and happy to consume it now!


 In honor of the story, and because I have some beautiful minis from Claymore Castings, I'm going to (slowly) do up a unit or three of the White Company. Not so much the historical unit, but the fictional characters in the book. Here's my first stand, with Sir Nigel Loring, one of the Leaders of the group that travels to France while Sir John Hawkwood, the main commander of the White Company is off with his part of the mercenary force in Italy.


The standard bearer is riding a Perry miniatures plastic horse. 

Lorings Arms are 5 roses on a field of white. I've been schooled since I made this that the swallow tail pennon was more French than English, so I may have to redo the banner.
Now, to order some more English Longbow!
