Here Are some of my recently painted G RR Martin wargame minis and scenery. I hope to add some crossbowmen and archers from Gripping Beast too to round out a small battleforce.
My skill in painting shields and banners needs practice but I'm having a great time switching from pulp minis to fantasy and medieval.
I am terrible at taking pictures. SOme turned out better than others sorry about that.
Theon Greyjoy
Bronn - absolutely love this figure. The shield isn't visable but it's a simple red shield which is battered a well used. This is his early mercenary days, simple unelegant and dangerous.
Jon Snow
Rattleshirt - The bones on his armor were time consuming to paint but so worth it. I thought my picture was better focused when I shot it.
Euron Greyjoy- I was putting the finishing paint touches on his when I took these pics. His base is painted and flocked as well as the fine golden designs on his belt and tunic too. I envisioned him as a sort of rogish sailor like a dark and brooding Sinbad.
This was something I thought would be easy to make which took more time than I expected. I wanted to build something for attackers to use against my castle walls. So why no build a seige tower I thought. I studied some pictures on the net and thought, hell I can do that. So I started out, using coffee stirrers. That was fine but I forgot the wheeels and the ladder and trapdoor and mechanics. In the end, I'm proud of myself. I found some wooden scale wheels in the craft store, made a ladder and even made the tower mechanically functional using some string. It drops down exactly even with my castle walls too. Just the way it was intended.
Here are a few things I've made scenery and terrain wise. I recently forked out some money for a foam cutter. I should have done that years ago. I've had tons of fun making terrain in the past including buildings but now it's even better. If you don't have a foam cutter, invest in one.
Seige Tower
Tower made from empty cardboard oatmeal container, foam and drywall spackle.
This is my Fist of the Fist Men. Made with foam using a cutter and spackle. It's a spiral ramp leading up around a larger rock.
Castle...I never initially intended on making a castle but I had these foam pieces that were just begging to be used for one. All I had to do was cut a portcullus door and do a little shaping , spackle and paint.
This staircase is a separate piece made for use with the castle interior to reach the upper level of the walls. It's really a neat and simple piece which is very functional. It will take a miniature on each step and even has a covered archway beneath. You can see the portcullus in the castle entrance if you pay attention to the background.
A nameless hedgeknight. I initially painted him to be Bryden Blackfish but couldn't get the black trout the way I wanted. In the end I stripped the paint on the shield to that of another house of the trident river which had a standard I could paint easier. I know...This was an extra unnammed mini darksword sent me for spending too much money on an order.
This figure is Brienne of Tarsis. I decided I'd rather have the figure be a stardard knight from another house so I sanded the shield free of it's images and placed the alternate hemlet head on her. We'll see how it turns out.
The Hound. I really look forward to painting this one. It came with 3 differnt head options. I liked all of them. I struggled for nearly an hour trying to decide which to use. I finally decided this one suited my feel most. I haven't decided what color to paint his armor or tunic exactly. I think I will give his a scorched burnt armor with a green tunic. This seemed to be consistent with his days on the run.
