Thanks guys! Yes, I am definitely planning to do more. Caraxes and Meleys will be printed soon. I’ll probably add Vermithor as well. And hopefully someone will make an STL for Seasmoke too. I totally agree on the depictions. Even more so with HotD where the dragons all seem to stand out.

Back with another exciting update! First of all, I brought Rhaenyra, Syrax and some knights to a tournament yesterday and managed to grab both first place as well as best painted, which is always a pleasure. The update I'm bringing you today however is quite something else. Now that I'm finally able to paint models up to the standards I want, I have decided to start making display boards.

For my Targaryens, the decision on what kind of display was an easy one. I've always loved the design of the gatehouse of Dragonstone with it's statues and architecture. After looking at loads of pictures, I started drawing up the design for a 30x30cm display. I wanted the gate itself in the background, with enough space to place down my army in front.

For the walls, I used polystyrene plates, cutting them down to the right size before doing the stonework. The edges of the display, decoration on the towers and gate were then made out of foam board. Once that was done, I added in two 3D printed statues I was lucky enough to find the STLs for. After that, all that was left was painting everything up.







I'm extremely happy with the end result. I think it both looks the part as well as goes really good together with the painting scheme for my knights. I also took the opportunity to shoot a few more shots of the models finished so far. Stay tuned for more!

Excellent work! This has turned out really well, and a great idea for a backdrop for miniature photos too!

Are those Targaryen dice on the battlements?

Thanks for the praise guys! @HappyChappy439 yes, those are Targaryen dice are by Baron of Dice. They have some for other Westerosi houses as well.

I'm back with another update. Recently, I started an instagram account for my wargaming adventures, which will be my main blog from now on. I'll keep posting pictures on here from time to time though. If you want to keep up with the more regular content, feel free to follow me on @rosiewargaming.

Over the past few weeks, I mostly finished my 'Valyrian Knights'. I painted up Meleys and Caraxes, converted a Rhaenys model and also made some archer variants of my knights for some added variation to the army.






Hope you like them!

Hey guys,

Back with another update. Since I realised I hadn’t posted my finished version of Vhagar on here yet, I thought I’d do it now. The model is a design by Hive Mind Designs, printed at a scale large enough to fit on a Smaug base. This gives her a wingspan of 2 foot (!)






I’ve also started working on a new army, the Knights of the Vale. For updates on those, as well as on my wargaming adventures (which have some exciting international tournaments coming up), you can follow me on instagram on @rosiewargaming. That’s it for now. Happy new year and stay tuned!

Beautiful model - fit to dominate any table.

Makes me want to add some more dragons to my own GoT project  :)
