The House Lannister

[Captain Blood]

Great conversions. Well done Mr J and bro 

[Wilkins]

Thanks for all the kind remarks about my conversions. Haven't posted any of my stuff on here before but I'm much more likely to from now on!

Excellent stuff!  I've been wondering how to convert the House Lannister and you've done a terrific job (I'm probably going to steal it).    I was thinking that the LotR Rangers of the North plastic boxed set from GW would do a good job as proxies for the Nightwatch. 

I converted some more Perry WOTR into LOTR Rangers a while back. Figured I'd show you them as well. Sorry for all the pics in this topic!

Finally he appears!

I am reading the books at the moment just finished no.2 and started no. 3,

I was only thinking about miniatures for the charactyers and various houses.

You have done a great job   

so perry war of the roses and gw lord of the rings figures match decently then?

[Wilkins]

Plastics should match up pretty well I guess. I think the Perry's sculpted a whole load of the GW stuff so I imagine they'll be compatible.

I am liking the look of this, loved the series (haven't seen the last episode though), nice work!

Great conversions  

I've just finished reading the latest GOT installment, 'A Dance With Dragons'. I've read the whole series, start to finish, in about 3 months. Most enjoyable, although they do slow down a bit in the later volumes... Apparently, it's likely to be several years before the author finally coughs up the next installment (the penultimate book, I believe) if he lasts that long  

Didn't see the HBO adaptation, but from the stills and trailers I did see, it didn't really accord with my mental image of the kind of High Medieval culture described in the books - a bit too influenced by the Lord of The Rings grungy look, I fear...

Anyway. Keep up the good work, and keep sharing the pics!

Very nice conversions, I agree.  Thanks for sharing - I love seeing how people kit (figure?) bash things.

WOW!!

I am a sucker for conversion work when done well, and you sir have done well...very well indeed. I am currently converting a number of Warlord Celtic warriors using bits and pieces from LOTR figures and Wargames factory figures. I know many people don't like plastic figures, and I was initially one of them, but now, I am addicted to them and the ability to convert them using parts from other figure lines.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm with Hitman. I've had tremendous fun converting plastics and getting the old green stuff working - adding cowls and cloaks and fur. Currently finishing off the sculpts on 16 Thenn converted from Warlord Celts and Gripping Beast/Warlord Vikings.

Revisiting this thread and seeing how the Perry WOTR minis can be so readily converted to Night's Watch I'm thinking I may need yet another box of Perry infantry to boost my Night's Watch numbers!

At the risk of thread-o-mancy, I'd like to see more of this project.

[Mr.J]

You'll be lucky... This project died a death shortly after. Not sure if my brother carried on but for me it was more of a 'can I do this' rather than 'lets do an army of this'.

It's nice to see this pop up again from the depths of time, I'd forgotten all about it!

[Dilettante Gamer]

... but for me it was more of a 'can I do this' rather than 'lets do an army of this'.

Well described.  Sometimes it's like that.  Rest in Peace little conversion project - you had so much promise! 

[sukhe_bator]

A shame that - hope you at least have enough for use with Lion Rampant
