Could anyone suggest suitable figures for giant's to be used in GOT games? Not to large, Martin talks of them as being around 13-15 feet tall, so just over double the height of a normal 28mm figure.
Likewise, figures that could be the mountain, who is described as being 8 feet tall?
Thank you for any ideas.

the smaller Reaper Bones Giants are about that size. the larger versions are about 3x a normal figure's height.

they also have cavemanish hill giants (which i believe are the smaller size), vaguely celtic cloud giants (i beleive the smaller size), and norse themed ice giants (the larger size)

Been looking at the official game giants myself, they look pretty damn good.

I’ve got them, and they do indeed look good, but tiny compared to the Wun Weg I’ve got from Elladan

There is also the official collectable statue from Eaglemoss but he is pretty big (15.9 cm!).
:o :o

They do look good, and even come with a free footrest with each Giant....
;D ;)

I used this plastic Frost Giant from the CMON Blood Rage game. Not sure how you get him normally, I got him on his own and pretty cheap, by typing "frost giant" into eBay's search engine.

Maybe not exactly like the ones in the TV show (or books, I wouldn't know), but good enough for me, and an absolute joy to paint.

There's timing, I've got a Blood Rage Mountain Giant I was going to sell this weekend if you're interested.

Ooo didn’t know about that one - he should fit in well with the Elladan Wun Weg

He appears to be out of stock on their website but could probably be tracked down on ebay etc...

The savage giants are really nice figures, I recently painted some up (https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Zaqlaybs8Y/XKeJKTgID4I/AAAAAAAAMkE/_7Nz41FNCvMvGH_mwA07Dp7aLhF_lv1IgCKgBGAs/s1600/20190403_095001.jpg)

Slightly off topic, I hadn't realized the sizes on the two generations of Reaper Bones fire giants were so far apart from one another.
Also FWIW, the Hill Giant and Cloud Giant mentioned are definitely the "small" size, and are quite compatible with the early fire giants.
-
Thanks for the info chaps, really like those two CMON giants they look superb and would do the trick for me :D
Now about this mountain chappie?
-
I'm away over Easter weekend, I'll get back to you next week. For now though, have a Google to see what he's like - I confess he's still in his box.
-
Looks pretty cool. Nice and Thor-like.
