MESBG - Guardians of the Fountain Court (presentation and painting instructions)

The Guardians of the Fountain Court are chosen from among the most disciplined veterans in all of Gondor, sworn to lay down their lives in the service of the Lords of Minas Tirith. There are too few of them to form your own regiments on the battlefield. The Fountain Guard instead act as bodyguards and commanders, supporting the weaknesses of Gondor's defenses with unfailing example.

^{The Guardians of the Fountain Court were painted in Tabletop Plus standard.}
