Exclusive: House of the Dragon Season 2 Unveils Epic Battle Scene with Jaw-Dropping Lannister Army and Cutting-Edge Armor

Summary

House Lannister returns in House of the Dragon season 2 with new armor and a stronger story, but they have a more muted role compared to Game of Thrones.

The Lannister soldiers in season 2 don distinct armor, featuring face-covering helmets and a simpler design for the rest of the suit.

In House of the Dragon, the Lannisters participate in the civil war among the Targaryens and continue to be loyal to the Greens.

The Lannisters from House of the Dragon season 2 make a striking entrance with their impressive new armor. Known for their pride, this House originally appeared in Game of Thrones and embraces the symbol of lions. The Lannisters are not only cunning but also cruel, strategically using their wealth and influence to secure positions of power in Westeros. As the Targaryens engage in warfare, House Lannister stands ready to support King Aegon's Greens with their formidable army.

Exciting footage from the set of House of the Dragon season 2 showcases the return of the Lannisters on the battlefield. UnBoxPHD on YouTube has captured scenes displaying Lannister soldiers fully adorned in armor and proudly displaying the House's distinctive banners. Watch the video below:

Winter Is Coming observed that the armor worn by the soldiers of House Lannister in the Game of Thrones universe had a never-before-seen design. The helmets now provided coverage for the lower part of their faces, and the rest of the suit appeared to be simpler in appearance. Additionally, their horses were also equipped with armor, and the soldiers carried shields featuring the emblem of the Lannister lion.

These Are Not The Game Of Thrones Lannisters

House Lannister's reputation soared thanks to the A Song of Ice and Fire books, but Game of Thrones on HBO transformed it into a household name. Tywin, Jaime, Cersei, and Tyrion take center stage in Game of Thrones, playing crucial roles in every season. The ruthless characters are driven by an insatiable thirst for love, wealth, and power. However, in House of the Dragon, the Lannisters have a more subdued presence, still driven by ambition but with a lesser role compared to Game of Thrones. Lord Paramount Jason Lannister makes only two appearances in season 1.

In House of the Dragon season 2, the Lannisters will have a stronger presence but will not play as significant a role as they did in Game of Thrones. The focus of House of the Dragon is the civil war among the Targaryens, and as the influential House that governs the West, the Lannisters will have a relevant position in the conflict. However, they will not lead the entire war effort like they did before. Instead, they will likely be subservient to the Targaryens.

Unlike their brutal descendants in Game of Thrones, the House of the Dragon Lannisters will not be as ruthless. Before Tywin's rise to power, the House relied more on soft power and deception rather than acts of violence. Although they will lead armies, as shown in the new set footage, they will still be under the control of the Targaryen Greens. House of the Dragon season 2 could provide a fresh perspective on the Lannisters.
