Looking really good!!

The Twins might be something of a challenge. It took me the best part of 6 months to get 2/3 of the way there with my Osgiliath bridge project

I love this bridge! We have a Great Dwarven Road project that you have just lit a fire under. Awesome work!

Both nice and interesting .

Tried an experiment over the Bank Holiday to see how many pikemen I could make from the Perry Miniatures Mercenearies box. Setting aside all the crossbowmen parts of the sprue I was able to convert all the handgunner parts into about a dozen pikemen/billmen advancing and another dozen standard bearers for use with my Westerosi bannermen. I had a large number of Warlord Bondi arms left over from another project so was able to successfully graft the open hands onto the Perrys, and have made wire pikes and standards with drilled and glued spear heads.

Show us Precious!

Some WIP shots of the Pike conversions from the Perry Mercenaries box
Various advancing poses from reusing the Handgunners arms. I had relegated 2 boxes of handgunner arms to my bits box until I got braver with the scalpel and pin vice. I think they have created some good variants...


Close up of 2 standard bearers (on Left a Warlord torso and 2-handed axe wielding arms with a green stuff fur collar added, and on R a Perry with drilled handgunner arms - you can see the distinctive ring on the R hand.

Standard bearers with arms from the Handgunners and in some cases seperate Warlord open hands grafted on

2 sets of musicians the ones on the R using Warlord Bondi torsos, the one on the Top LH corner with a Warlord Numidian head

A set of 4 WIP Mounted bannermen using GW Rohirrim with WOTR heads, weapons etc.

  Impressive! They look fantastic, especially the knights!

Is this just one force (of riverlords perhaps?) or miniatures for several?

[sukhe_bator]

I'm hoping to build up between 18 and 24 figures per banner, and plan up to 12 banners in all so I can game the first 3-4 books from Skirmish to small scale army level. I also have over 30 Ironborn, the same in Wildlings, 16 Thenn, a dozen or so Night's Watch and approx 30 White Walkers, plus a Giant and a Mammoth. I hope to have 4 - 6 Mounted and personality figures per faction too
This gives you a flavour of the forces I've assembled so far which has involved a lot of conversion and green stuff...




I also have a couple of dozen Unsullied and some Astapori archers in the pipeline, but that's another story! ...

[Wilkins]

Another story that we all want to hear. Or more accurately, see!

[oxiana]

All looking very splendid!

I wish GRR Martin wrote as fast as you assemble armies! 

[sukhe_bator]

Assembling and adapting the figures is perhaps the most satisfying part of the project, but at some point I'm going to have to knuckle down and paint them all!

[OSHIROmodels]

Cracking work, a real inspiration 

Now, I haven't looked that closely at the latter pictures because I fear spoilers (only done Season two and only just finished the first book) but I'm assuming there are things in there that might be better left not seen until I've caught up?

cheers

Looks like you have plenty of stuff to paint!
I like the pikemen and standard conversions, the wargames factory hands are useful things to have. I'll be using a couple of ideas for my latest builds.

[sukhe_bator]

Max,
Plenty to paint but until now I haven't assembled all the components of any one given faction, or I have one set of figures to use in skirmish games but not their usual opponents!
You might want to be especially careful of the Warlord open left hands - they are few and far between - the majority are clenched fists (i.e. holding shields) which will need drilling...

Spoiler free Jimbibbly - nothing here I think to ruin your enjoyment of GOT. The troops are my take on the books and not based on anything specifically shown in the series. I have read all the current books and am eagerly awaiting to read the rest and see Season 3 in all its glory...
There are indeed factions from Clash of Kings and Storm of Swords I want to ultimately model as well but atm they are on my wish list or on the drawing board... at least until I see how Martin intends to finish his epic cycle...
