A Song of Fire and Ice - Concept Part 2 (Lannisters)

Next on the list is the Lannisters - or at least the forces directly under Lannister banners (bannermen may well be armed/armoured differently).
House Lannister banner

The uniform has been noted as being Samurai like so I've tried to focus on that and to be honest seems right. Possibly missing visor pieces but at this scale does that matter for the standard troops? Especially if say they were based quite closely together?
Lannister Armour
Katana's are obviously too long but would take little effort to shorten to a suitable length.
Sword Armed Infantry
I also think that the shoulder guards would need reducing but the cheek plates give a similar look to the visor when opened so this would be ok. Again these are available armed with sword, spear or longbow as well as mounted versions. so would probably cover all main troops involved.

An alternative (or possibly a mix of the two would be to use some of the European Late Medieval Range.

Dismounted Knights
These guys could just have a cut put down the middle of the visor and could therefore look like visor closed options.

The only character that you may need a different figure for (yet again comes when its War of Five Kings) would be Tyrion (I'll look at Kingsguard in another post for Jaime).

Pendraken do have a dwarf range but have no pictures, the hill dwarves range is illustrated and the closest I see would be possibly the sword armed Dwarf. Obviously the sword would need modding to be an axe and the beard carving off.
