Very nice!

Tell me about these fireforge infantry cloaks. Do they require must conversion work to put on the Perry kits, or do they just plonk right on there? It looks like a great fit on this example.

Mostly they plonk straight on fine. Occasionally, depending on the fit, you might need to do a little bit of craving / shaping for a better fit, but if all else fails (as you can see in examples higher up in this thread) a simply fashioned Green Stuff fur cape will cover a multitude of sins where the cloak joins the body

Wonderful conversions. What system do you plan to use for your Seven Kingdoms (and beyond) skirmishes? I'd considered LotR because it's not too fantastical but gives some solid leeway to characters and allows them to be larger than life.

Probably, if all else fails, a variant of my adapted all-purpose skirmish rules derived from Kill Zone. But a Warhammer historical type set would work perfectly well I think. Once I've mustered enough figures to mount a worthwhile game (around 25 - 35 figures a side I think), I'll settle on rules. Actually, Lion Rampant would probably lend itself reasonably well too.

Hi Captain Blood

Really interesting to see what gives us our vision of a subject, I watched the series before reading the books, so my imagining of the characters when reading the books was always like the series characters, hence I'm doing my (stalled) project like the series, but interesting to see how you envision the characters, love your work by the way.

Thanks Dan. I like what you've done too.
There are no right and wrongs with a fantasy novel, I guess

absolutely not ! Use it as inspiration and go wild from there !!! It is fantasy after all

Wow some inspiring stuff here, and I've only just read the first page of your thread! Such smooth GS work, really makes your conversions pop. Watching with interest

Splendid work, Richard!

I'm looking forward to seeing Jamie in his full coloured glory.

I hope you are proud of yourself. I just ordered a bunch of Perry miniatures because of you and your thread.

Thanks.
Better not look at my other Perry build thread then...

Nope. Not yet, anyways...

It's only a matter of time Niels...

Yeah, well, I'll probably be building some small medieval armies for C&C and LR/DR, but I'm not sure if I'll actually plunge into the 100YW-era. Too many other projects, to be honest...

One more little update... Another Stark guardsman, using the fifth and final body from one of the Frostgrave frames, with arms from the Perry light cavalry box, shield from the Fireforge Templar Infantry set, and the head is one of the two from the Salute 2015 free figure (also by Perry).
