An orthographic sheet of my previous footman I uploaded. Reworked the armor and yeah. Was fun. The rest of the House Leo guys will be uploaded in this manner.

House Leo boasts one of the most well trained and well equipped infantry in the whole Empire. Their footmen are armored in platemail, and serve as the steel backbone of the House . Armed with sword and tower shield, Leo Footmen fight in tight wall formations, allowing them to push lesser enemies back through sheer mass. As with all of House Leo, footmen are exceedingly proud and show great prowess and disciplined ferocity in battle.

Leo Footmen are professional soldiers, paid by the House. Their armor is courtesy of House Leo, and bear little decoration one would see on officers and nobles. However, footmen do bear the Aegis Ruber, the small shield on their left shoulder. This often shows the footman's company and any major campaigns he has participated in. Footmen also have a small ornament on the top of their breastplate that displays their name. On each shield is emblazoned "Ad victoriam et decus", 'To victory and honor'.
