I wouldn't want to be the kerrniggitt in the last photo!
Most of us in our little group have 'Lion Rampant' retinues & enjoy the game.
I haven't gamed Dragon Rampant yet but I have read the rules closely.
Apart from the magical element, there's not a lot of difference between the two rule sets.
If you can play LR, you can play DR.
So, your medieval army can be fielded as a "straight" human force with no changes from LR. NB "buying" magical properties is expensive & a player without any will have extra unit(s). This seems to even things up.
Or, a LR retinue could "buy" a Mystical Weapon or Armour. Or make one of their units a "Slayer" - specifically a Troll or Beast killer. etc. There's a point cost obviously. Finally, the Magic is fairly low key & certainly won't even work all the time - you need to throw a dice for activation.
So, Knight(s) - it would be an elite cavalry unit of 6 models- fights 4 trolls (a reduced model unit). The Trolls stats differ a bit from the Knights but the the latter have a slight edge.I think. I would give the Trolls 'Fear' @ 2 points. This causes the knights -1 in a Courage Test.
All in all, probably an even match.
