Title: Future House Lanister heavy Mech The Mountain(lanister Troops Added 9/20/16)
Post by: bandit86 on August 17, 2016, 10:33:50 AM: Continuing on with my Game of Thrones in the future project (that was post here before see: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=69369.msg841771#msg841771 )

I give you Clegane industries G-R-R Type M Heavy Mech nickname the Mountain. In service to House Lannister. armed with chest lasers, wrist missiles, and hand mounted plasma weapons.

I tried a new technique seen done but the artist (dwartist) when painting the face shield (I think it came out Ok for a first attempt) The house Stark mech pilot was to show scale seeing that I do not have a Lannister pilot ready.

had finally found a toy (Palymation) that would work for this, not to big or small A few hours to re paint it and done.

Only when I saw the pilot standing in front of the suit, did I realise that this wasn't a 28mm miniature; I thought it was one of the Starship Troopers Bear Suits (now Judge Dread Holocaust Suits) at first! lol

It's a cool use of that toy at any rate.

Great paintjob; the visor works well. I think you succeeded there.

And the Stark pilot in front is fitting, as the colourscheme is decidedly Iron Man, so Tony Stark... :D

I also was thinking about this. If you are looking for anything similar there is an RPG setting for FATE called Camelot trigger (found here (http://www.rpgnow.com/product/119384/Fate-Worlds-Worlds-in-Shadow?cPath=3924_19296), among other places) which has some small contributions by yours truly. In essence its Arthurian space opera with mechs. Ever since that I have been thinking of most fantasy settings and how they would convert to mechs, GoT being maybe the most suited. Nice to see somebody else arrived at the same conclusion by a different road!

I always think the feudal/serfdom stye society warfare would translate really well to games of space combat, huge battleships as 'knights' and smaller cruisers as the men at arms. I've never looked but I guess that's what Noble Armada is about.
