Kingdom of Garvey - Line infantry
Hard places breed hard men and cold Garvey is no other. Battered by icy winds propelled forward by the Eye of Mimir, a maelstrom and freak weather phenomenon off the Garvian coast, the rough country is plagued by icy winters and only moderate summers - unlike its neighbours, who enjoy more a more temperate climate.
Stubborn individualists and rebels, the sparsely populated country only maintains a small standing army, which is supported by numerous bands of militia during wartime.
Both the unique climate and mindset of the Garvians are reflected in the army's uniforms. Unlike most of the Madrician armies, the Garvian Royal Army opts for thick great coats and practical equipment, going for substance over style.
The cut of the uniform is similar to that of their Essian cousins, yet the overall look of the soldiers is quite different. Whereas the Essians are known for their discipline and rigidity, the Garvians embrace their capricious spirit which is reflected in the diverse looks of individual soldiers. While tricorns are the officially issued headgear, many tend to opt for fur skin hats or the very practical karpus hats: a wool cap with foldable ear muffs. Another distinction from most other armies is the abundance of facial hair. Many soldiers grow their beards thick, as has been the way in Garvey for centuries.
While the Garvian army is known for its tenacious defensive doctrines, they are no strangers to a bloody melee. All of the soldiers carry hand weapons next to their musket and are not afraid to charge the enemy head on looking for a confrontation, whipped on by sermons of the rune priests promising a glorious afterlife. It is known that some weapons are passed down by generations and are treasured items.

Notes:
There's not a lot of information on Garvey, so I just made up some extra stuff to fluff up the NPC faction.
I haven't had a lot of time on my hands since summer, so I've been rather inactive. With a new 'lockdown light' coming in Belgium, maybe I'll find some more time to spend with the bricks and figures.
