Nice take on John Snow. This is a fine mini that fits my image of him.

Next up is the runt of the litter Ghost:


No conversion or anything done he's just the Darksword miniature of Ghost in their GRRM line they make.
Now there ready to go and kill some wildlings together

I've really enjoyed making Jon and Ghost so I think I may have to make some more Sworn Brothers for them to hang out with then i'll have to get a box of FG barbarians for wildlings for them to go out and fight.

The only problem I have with making all these minis for ASOIAF is that I want to make everything at once   >:(
The next Characters I have planned is Bran Stark, Samwell Tarly and Benjen Stark so i'd better get to it  ;)

Nice stuff in here! What are you using for the snow? (The kind that's frozen water, not a supposed bastard growing up in the north...)

Thanks Coenus Scaldingus, the snow used is from a Brand called Heki its really glassy looking stuff.
http://www.heki-kittler.de/sand.htm
its called Nr. 3343 Schneeglitzer on that page. I got it from MR toys Toyworld in Australia i think its model train stuff.
The way i put it on is using it and PVA glue with water like this Dr Faust video but using it instead of baking soda.

I untill very recently used the baking soda stuff but its abit too fragile for gaming, using this stuff it sets rock hard and looks like its wet like snow hope this helps  :)

Ghost looks fabulous! And just the right size, bigger than a bog standard wolf but not overpowering Jon. Great stuff.

That certainly helps! Pretty sure I've seen some Heki products in local(ish) model railway shops, so will be on the lookout for their snow whenever I'm visiting one in the future. Thanks!

Re: Darathar's Adventures In Westeros (New with Nights Watch)

Here are some Night Watch brothers:

I imagine the Nights Watch are a bit all over the place when it comes to arms and armour,
 I don't imagine there as scrubby as they are in the show but I can't see them being a uniform force either.

These two are from the Shadow Tower I've made them without chain mail as I imagine Castle Black probably gets the majority of the good stuff and sends what they can down to them.


Next two are from Castle Black I made them a little more organized looking.

And last is another Shadow Tower ranger with this guy i tried to get a little of the thug aspect of the wall since they do take in all manner of characters from westeros.
Most of my Nights Watch will have simple axes, spears and bows because steel Isn't cheap and the Nights Watch almost works like a charity and most lords bar the Northern ones really don't seem to care to much about helping them out.

Lovely looking work. We did a mini campaign at my FLGS last year. It's always cool to see all the kit-bash ideas people come up with.

Next up is Benjen Stark, He's made from gripping beast vikings, frostgrave soldiers and another one of those Highlander Infinity Arinadna heads with a green stuff cloak. I'm really liking painting up the nights watch I've got two more rangers nearly finished and both Samwell Tarly and Jeor Mormont being converted up at the moment so more to come soon  :)
