Title: Song of Ice and Fire 15mm - Seeking Figures
Post by: Mr Brown on March 21, 2012, 06:06:44 PM

My Google-Fu is failing me right now so thought I would call on the collective for inspiration and aid.

I've been basing up and painting some old Essex 15mm figs to use as knights and warriors from Westeros but now on the look out for suitable wildling giants. I'm guessing 20mm or 'true' 25mm cavemen/yeti/bigfoot minis would be best. Anything approaching 15mm mammoths and whooly rhinos would also be useful for those wildings beyond the wall.

I'm intending to use either Saga or LOTR for rules but adding in rules for flavour. Once I have the leaders and flags painted I'll try to get some pics up for you.

For 15mm wildling Giants - try:
Myrlak Cloudcook - http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/4010-myrlak-cloudcook-p-2195.html
if too big try:
Throigar Bronze Giants - http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/4019-throigar-bronze-giants-8-p-2245.html

For big wooly beasts - try Gar’nar’og -http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/4513-garÂ’narÂ’og-thain-beast-rider-p-2559.html
I'm also waiting for otherThain large beasts to be released.

There must be something in the Splintered light range

you can also go looking for some true 25mm barbarians. Some ranges have quite poor sculptures, but very appropriate for giants!

Thanks for the ideas. Seen a few of these and some will fit the bill nicely.
Just need to get some ordered up now and painted ;)

You could always check out Copplestone's new 15mm range:

Some suitably useful figures in there too.

Yeah was considering his Stone Trolls as giants. Given that they will be closer to 18mm scale and bigger than his barbarians they might well be ideal. Was already considering the wolf pack for dire wolves but don't think I need 14. Ideally only two or three. Heck, it's not like I haven't bought miniatures I didn't really need or on a whim before...

The Copplestone Snow Trolls are exactly what I would depict the Ice and Fire giants like.

Great project! Hoping for pics!
