So cool! that is truly amazing work!

If you are still looking for rules, you can try out CMON's rules. Both the rules and cards are available online (links in bottom).

The rules are made for regiments of 4x4, but i dont think it would be a problem to play them 3x4, as yours would be. Cavalry is a bit trickier as CMON's rules are meant to be 2x2, but i think i would play yours 3*2, as the numer of ranks are really important for the game (4 for infantry and 2 for cavalry). This will mean that cavalry will be a lot deadlier and infantry will be some what weaker compared to eacother, but i guess that will work fine, as long as you dont overdo it with cavalry.
If you want to play around with list-building CMON's own warcouncil app is really good!
Anyway, check it out here :-) and you can just print the cards that you are going to use for easy reference (otherwise you can use the warcoucil app as reference).

You have some greats armies, its motive me to paint mine but my unsullied are far less good than yours! I used warlord games gauls and arab light cavalry for dothrakis like you but the less clothes version ;)
I'm impressed by the quantity of minis!

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

Nice work, keeping the momentum going I see!

The Crusader Minis have worked really well for your Boltons, the consistent gambeson + kettle-hat is a good look for them!

I’ve been thinking about GoT giants today ....I really like the Elladan Wun Weg, but he is really big....ok, yes, he is a giant afterall....but the model is 5” tall and towers over the ordinary human models.

I’ve been rewatching the TV series, and the CMON Savage Giants are more “in scale”, but I’m personally not a massive fan of the actual sculpts, so I hit upon the following solution...

I managed to get hold of the Ymir model from Bloodrage...a bit bigger than the CMON giants admittedly, but significantly smaller than the Elladan model - the Ymir figure is essentially wearing his birthday outfit, so I needed to add some clothing, which will hopefully give the impression of a number of previous owners fur.

I then took a couple of the CMON giants and hacked them about a bit to change the pose and then added some more green stuff fur, and ended up with the following - I’m going to use the Savage giants as undead... rationalising them on being smaller than Wun Weg in part due to survival of the fitness.

Very cool conversion.  Just finished the series again in a Covid binge.  I always liked the way Giants were portrayed in that series and these will fit right in.

I like them a lot, mate, and always better to have something unique rather than off the shelf.

Just finished the series again in a Covid binge.

I was thinking recently that now would be the ideal time for a re-cap.
Hmmmm.
