Title: SAGA - Westeros / Update Night's Watch
Post by: Frank on August 09, 2012, 11:49:57 AM: I am back from summer-holidays and managed to finish 2 SAGA Battleboards and some new miniatures form my Lannister Battlegroup. The next unit will be some war-dogs and men-at-arms for the house of Stark. Hope you like it…

I had the same idea actually, (and I think a couple of thousand more people have thought about it lol).
Your stuff is top notch as ever, Frank :-*

Post by: Steve F on August 09, 2012, 12:05:21 PM: Those figures positively glow with warmth.

Post by: CyberAlien312 on August 09, 2012, 12:58:02 PM: :o They look magnificent! I love the smooth and realistic paint job. The terrain looks fabulous as well!
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: Cholly on August 09, 2012, 01:02:41 PM: :o Excellent as ever Frank. Once again you make me consider throwing away my brushes and paints, your painting makes mine look like the daublings of a deluded child.... :'(
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: Hubbynz on August 09, 2012, 01:25:06 PM: Wow great idea and lovely painting!!!
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: dodge on August 09, 2012, 01:44:41 PM: wow Frank, those are cool 8)

what figures are you using?

Looks like some perry's war of the roses plus some hundred years war? Is that right.

Well done though

Love'em!

Great color schemes, super flags, pennants and shields, and a nice gritty... "this is war" feel.

Looking forward to further progress.

Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: BaronVonJ on August 09, 2012, 02:02:14 PM: I actually like your stuff better than the show. Much more variety, where the HBO series has the Lannister's all matchy-matchy.
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: tomogui on August 09, 2012, 02:10:48 PM: Simply sublime brushwork. The painting is so good, it almost makes one forget that the Westeros SAGA battleboards are very well done too.
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: Bugsda on August 09, 2012, 03:05:44 PM: Breathtaking camera work as usual :-* Frank you're a genius, let's have some more 8)
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: Mr.J on August 09, 2012, 05:09:34 PM: I have had your site bookmarked for some time now for inspiration. I'm sporadically working on asoiaf project myself. Nowhere near as nice as yours though. Looks awesome!
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: Estarriol on August 09, 2012, 07:37:32 PM: Lovely :)
Might be a nice online project, everyone pick a House and paint a warband?
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: Hupp n at em on August 10, 2012, 12:17:04 AM: Wonderful :-* One question - did you use Wargames Factory or Gripping Beast Viking parts on your Stark troops?

Thanks,
Jim

Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: Frank on August 10, 2012, 08:02:28 AM: Thank you very much for your comments!

@Hupp n at em: I used the Gripping Beast Vikings. Some heads are a little bit too big and you need a small piece of plastic to form a neck. The box has also a really nice variety of separate weapons and shields.

Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: commissarmoody on August 10, 2012, 12:52:23 PM: An army and paint job to be proud of. And yes Lannister's "Hear Me Roar!"
I love those guys.

Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros
Post by: Frank on August 20, 2012, 08:32:42 AM: I was able to finish my next two units, the Lannister warrior with crossbow and a unit of Stark warriors with their wardogs. The dogs are miniatures made by Warlord.

Post by: FramFramson on August 20, 2012, 01:56:57 PM: Great work on the figures... especially fine job on the crossbow equipment.

Question: Who makes those trees you have in the background? Are those a homebrew job?
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros / Update
Post by: Estarriol on August 20, 2012, 08:12:02 PM: Just beautiful. I really wish I knew someone who'd like to do a project like this, westeros would make for awesome battles.

Some really great minis!

The war dogs are very cool but I think what really attracts me to your project is all the splendid banners.

Marvelous work.
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros / Update
Post by: oxiana on August 20, 2012, 08:49:14 PM: :o

Utterly gorgeous! Love the banners in particular, but great work throughout, and brilliantly staged and photographed.

Thank you boys! :-)

The trees are from Games Workshop, but with some more realistic leafs, made by MiniNatur.

Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros / Update
Post by: Darkover on February 26, 2013, 04:36:55 PM: Absolutely stunning! Saw the miniatures at the Tactica this year and absolutely loved them. Is there a chance to get battle boards for the other great houses as well?

Baratheon comes to mind, an ability called "Ours is the fury!" would sound quite amazing for a start, don't you think? :)

Post by: galvinm on August 18, 2015, 03:15:49 AM: Enquiring minds want to know.

Need more stunning pics for more motivation. Loading up on plastics to attempt something that I hope turns out half as well.

I hope this isn't a silly question, but may I have the link to the site? Excellent stuff.

Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros / Update
Post by: Sangennaru on July 18, 2016, 02:55:51 PM: Once again, i apologize for the threadomancy, but i really wanted to endorse this project, and wondered if there have been any update? The two armylists are great, but it would be awesome to see some new lists. The Black Watch and the Wildlings would be awesome!!!

If not, what kind of troops do you suggest to use instead? :)

Cheers

He hasn't put anything new on his blog since 2013 mate.

Hence my question, since the blog is down but Frank is not (i just read about him a few days ago) i wondered if he simply moved his endeavours to some quieter place. :)
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros / Update Wildings
Post by: Frank on December 03, 2016, 07:08:35 PM: I am back in Westeros! For the next HAMBURG TACTICA I will give Elladan a helping hand with his Westeros - SAGA game. There will be some new SAGA battleboards and of course some new painted miniatures. Here are some first sample miniatures of the Free Folk or Wildlings of the north.

Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros / Update Wildings
Post by: Frank on December 04, 2016, 06:31:08 PM: Thank you for comments. :D
I also work on a few opponents. This miniature is sculpted by Elladan...

Post by: Frank on December 08, 2016, 09:21:33 PM: These three boys are the first batch of my men of the Night's Watch. They are actually from the 100YW miniatures range of the Perrys. I just added a few capes with fur trim.

I need to get to grips with my Frostgrave Barbarian box, and make a few more fur-clad wild cousins of the Starks and Boltons...
Title: Re: SAGA - Westeros / Update Night's Watch
Post by: Ogrob on December 31, 2016, 10:06:41 AM: Great paintjobs! Been re-reading the books and now I feel the need to make some Wulls and Liddles.
