Those look great, I might have to order a box of knights tonight!

What size are those bases? 40mm?

Glad to contribute to someone else's impulse buying!

Yes, 40mm Renedra.

Like what you are doing with those Lannisters, even though I really dislike them from the books.

Yeah, they're dickish. But Tyrion's fun.

I don't think they're meant to be too likeable.  lol  The boo-hiss villains that everyone loves to hate.  But Tyrion isn't so bad, for a Lannister, and stick with Jaime for a bit...

Speaking of the little one, anyone found a suitable miniature for him? I was thinking of using one of GW's hobbits, but I'm not totally convinced.

You could possibly look to something like this guy from reaper -

Liking the look of this!! I've been playing with some conversions mixing the Fireforge stuff and perry's they do fit in very well.

I don't think they're meant to be too likeable.  lol  The boo-hiss villains that everyone loves to hate.  But Tyrion isn't so bad, for a Lannister, and stick with Jaime for a bit...

When it comes down to it, they're all a bunch of nobs (not just the Lannisters) but I think that is why, personally, I like the books, as they're all more Human or believable; all of them having sides that are pretty repulsive, with their own dark episodes some darker than others, whilst having their own good sides.

I've used a couple of 'big haired' heads from the Bretonnian sprues grafted onto an armoured WOTR body for Jaime Lannister and a jupon wearing Perry WOTR figure for Tyrion. Tyrion has been 'modified' as per previous threads with considerable success, but they are currently WIP...

I see Perry WOTR and Gripping Beast Hirdmen parts in there - I have some very similar assemblages...

Yes, as called out above - Fireforge bodies, GB Hirdman heads, Perry WotR arms.

Re: Gaming in Westeros - Stark Pike have arrived!
« Reply #44 on: February 18, 2013, 01:37:52 AM »
Finally received my Claymore Castings Scots pike.  I'm very pleased with them (a few headswaps nothwithstanding) and I'll order the mounted and foot knights in the near future.  I really like them.



I didn't have time to set up the light box. Just shot them on my paint table.

Some further thoughts over at the blog-thingy: http://dilettantegamer.blogspot.com/

Moving it along...
