Playing through the civil war story in Skyrim at a high level is a bit curious. You're more powerful than anyone else in the province, nearly untouchable to the hordes of NPCs, yet you're taking orders from different factions and single-handedly squashing or leading the revolution. Why not use that Dragonborn fame and adventuring gold to raise an army and assert yourself as god-king?
Perhaps you don't want to kill Paarthurnax after reforming the Blades and instead envision forming legions of the farmers and guards of the realm you've been meeting and running quests for. This optional unit is the Dragonborn's fighting force, the Dragonguards. Most of the designs in Skyrim have real world foundations that give a sense of grounded functionality so we chose to use hoplites for our game. Victrix has some great 28mm armored hoplite miniatures (though with the corinthian helmets they seem more like 35mm!) that look distinct from the other viking and legionnaire figures we're using!
Using the Valiant! system the Dragonguards have a +6 ATK and + 7 DEF with a 5+ save and the ability to re-roll 1d6 in combat when they ready the defense! When together as a cohesive unit they are also able to each re-roll 1d6 against ranged attacks!
How can you have an army for the Dragonborn without actually having the Dragonborn, you ask? You'll just have to make your own! Rules for custom hero creation coming soon!
