The Battle of the Trident - ASoIaF project

[Whyarecarrots]

Thanks all.

@Maddoc - will do! Hope you make it back to the workbench soon.

@LordOdo - haven't really thought about how I'd paint him yet. My freehand is... Interesting at best, so I'm not sure about painting stags on each of the men at arms. I'll have a play when I get to painting him.

[LordOdo]

I see, my freehanding isn't the best either.

You could always 'cheat' like this guy did, painting 'just' antlers. Works quite well IMO

[Whyarecarrots]

Thanks for the suggestion LordOdo - I may give that a go!

I've finally got back to my painting desk and have finished off the Tyrell archer -





Feedback much appreciated - thanks for looking!

[OSHIROmodels]

Look good. I like the compromise for the sigil 

[Lau]

yeah, that looks really nice! Good idea!

[Whyarecarrots]

So it's been a while since I've posted here. I had a bit of a delay in progressing this project, but the last 10 days has seen a flurry of activity!

I have painted some Baratheons:



I painted a lot of Starks:



I even painted some Tyrells:



I may even take some decent photos at some point (probably after plucking up the courage to freehand the shields)! However for the time being hopefully the photos give a decent idea of where I'm going with the project

Thanks for looking

[LordOdo]

Great to see you got back to it! I really like your colour tones! Good job!

[Ogrob]

Very nice! Love the colours on the Tyrells, that green is great.

[HappyChappy439]

Glad to see you back! Great work on the Tyrell greens especially, it's turned out really well!

[Whyarecarrots]

Thanks all. It's good to be back painting these again, and I'm happy with how these are turning out.

I've painted more Baratheons, using grey rather than green as an additional colour, to try and add a slightly more varied look to the force.



After taking that photo I tried doing some rough freehand on the shields. I've kept them deliberately basic to try and stay in keeping with a relatively low-fantasy feel that I think the ASoIaF world has, where every infantryman would not have perfectly painted shield heraldry. Looks a bit ropy up close, but I like the effect from a distance:



I now have a few Tullys on the painting desk as well.

Thanks for looking

[Whyarecarrots]

Speaking of Tullys (freehand to come)....

.

They're probably the house that had the least defined style - I wasn't intending to do any Riverlanders when I first built all these models so I've had to try and give them an aesthetic out of models that were already built. I've settled on a combination of leather/padded armour and relatively simple helmets, with a lot of bright colours. I think they're distinctive enough compared to the Reachmen, but we'll see...

[AKULA]

Thanks for the link...ordered some eventually (I think)...my German is a bit rusty

[Whyarecarrots]

Thanks for the suggestion Hunlion, but I think I'll be having a wide variety of single sigils so transfer sheets may not work for my purposes.

I've now painted up a couple of Targaryen archers. I'm not intending to have many troops in Targaryen colours, but then it would be strange for them to have no soldiers under their command. They're going to be the most flamboyant in terms of armour, but their colouring is quite dark and sinister:





Thanks for looking!

[Wellington Bonaparte]

Now you have given me real food for thought, love the Targaryn colours as you say dark and sinister, perfect! The first Stark soldier looked amazing, not tbe way I envisaged them but really striking. Shall follow this thread with interest.
