Title: (AP 2016) Westeros Rampant - War Across The Water
Post by: Hupp n at em on June 21, 2016, 05:44:15 AM: Hello! I have decided to kickstart my 28mm Westerosi armies by doing up a Northern and Vale/Sistermen force for recreating The War Across the Water, a thousand-year turf war between the Starks and the Arryns over the Three Sisters: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/War_Across_the_Water (http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/War_Across_the_Water)

So far I have a handful of units in varying stages of assembly. Those pictured will mostly represent the Northerners as I foresee far less kitbashing to do the Vale forces - they of the "pure" chivalrous, knightly medieval look.

Those newer Bretonnian plastics may end up as Freys rather than Men of the Vale, as they have somewhat of a scummy look to them that just seems to fit those worms of The Crossing.

I'll be using these for Lion/Dragon Rampant and eventually (once enough get painted :D ) for To The Strongest!. I also have a bunch of ships to represent the naval actions one might imagine occurring in a conflict over islands, but those are probably beyond the scope of this challenge.

I was thinking I'd post my progress here for now, then when AP 2016 is over, start a new topic in Fantasy Adventures that links here but update that one from there on out. :)

All in good time! This was a flurry of excited plastic cement work. Still have to take care of any gaps, do some green stuff work and maybe even look for mould lines. ;) lol

Post by: Hupp n at em on July 15, 2016, 04:32:57 AM: I know I'm due for an actual update soon (as I really need to start painting that first unit...) but a quick question before that. I'm building a little log outpost for the Northerners and was wondering which looked better/was more suitable:

Crenelations...

Post by: Hupp n at em on July 15, 2016, 03:21:56 PM: I think Crenelations have won out. :D Now to get that first unit painted... I think it will be a unit of Tallhart or Glover archers. Stay tuned. :)

Post by: Hupp n at em on August 01, 2016, 12:43:35 PM: Well, I wave the white flag on making this first deadline... lol I primed them with a #0 brush :o when I realized that I had brushes up to that size, and then large terrain brushes, but nothing in between... so I punted on this deadline to save my sanity (picked up some basecoating/block painting sized brushes yesterday thankfully). Hopefully I'll have unit number one finished by week's end. lol :D

The 1st of the month is just a guideline. Good luck with them this week.

....oh, and crenellations. :)

I'm so glad you wrote that as I have never seen GoT and I thought I had discovered a great big whole in my military history knowledge.

Another vote for crenellations
