Haha don't worry it's nice to have such a comprehensive response and I too tend to waffle on :) 
I thought the second pic would be a little over the top too but I'm on an iPad and finding http: picture addresses is a nightmare. So I was sort of limited :p

I like your second pic too though, is it okay if I swap my two out for that one and I'll try get one of gregor's armor?

If you've ever seen game of thrones he'd wear the same sort of armour that Gregor Clegane wears when he's fighting Oberyn and I have every intention of having him die at some point too so don't worry about him seeming a little too strong because reading over my post he seems OP, he's overly vulnerable to archers without plate I'd say so it's sort of a must that he's covered in metal being such a big threat on the battlefield.

He's going to be an unfortunate soul who despite his desire for peace consistently finds himself at war. He realises the irony in fighting for peace which gets him pretty depressed.
