MESBG - Citadel Guard (presentation and painting instructions)

The Citadel Guard was formed from the most elite warriors Gondor had to offer. Bound only to the king of Gondor, the Citadel Guard will obey his orders until released from their oath by their master or by death. In the absence of the true king, their orders are given by the Steward of Gondor.
