As I said, the flags are printed out and then quickly overpainted...

Okay, here is the small update for today.
Some more greyjoys and a few stark wolves...



Sorry no flags today...

Cheers,

Woah, quite the ersatz combination!  Looks quite effective.

Mein gott! You have made and painted as many figures for Game of Thrones in four weeks as I have painted in four years!
You are a painting machine, man!

[tyrionhalfman]

More great additions. They look fantastic laid out in all their glory. Thanks for sharing

[Coenus Scaldingus]

Fantastic collection you've built up there. In the time it took you to do that, I don't think I've even painted a single miniature...

[DonVoss]

Thanx for the replies....

Here is the start of a new faction: the Boltans.

Ja, well...thats quick and dirty vs. high end show case. Every miniature of your collection is a piece of art. Mine art gaming pieces....
And art takes time....one thing I know...


Cheers,
Don

Ah, the Boltons. Everybody's favourite bad guys. Love those shields. They look great.

I'll probably get lynched (or flayed) for saying it around here (lots of book purists about), but I think the TV version of the Bolton sigil looks much cooler than the book one.

[Captain Blood]

Nice work. Do love the pink clad baddies.

I agree the HBO sigil is very striking - kind of Third Reich overtones I always feel. It's the addition of the black that makes it work of course.

Martin's original description of a red flayed man on a pink field was never going to look like anything other than a pinky-red mess. Not good heraldry, whichever way you look at it... 
It's the author's weird notions of heraldry that remind you it's a fantasy, despite a lot of it being a plausible pseudo-history set in medieval times.
Apart from the dragons, white walkers etc, obvs...

[LordOdo]

The funny thing is, the HBO Bolton sigil reminds me of the Union Jack.

Really? I think it looks very much like the Union Jack.

I'd echo, the good Captain's comments. While his minis are undoubtedly works of art, I'd not diss your efforts one iota. The speed and standard you have achieved with your minis is something I aspire to.
I'd also echo everyone's comments about the HBO Bolton sigil. I'm revisiting my Northern Houses and I'd agree with Capt. B, that the book-version Bolton sigil seems less well realised and tame by comparison. My attempts have also met with little success. The whole upside-down flaying idea works well though, and seems to stem from Titian's 'Flaying of Marsyas'. I shall be using that in future, though probably not the X frame motif...
