And the new figures all look great too. Are the bowmen metal? I don't see any plastic parts I recognise there... Either that or you have been particularly ingenious with your kitbashing!

Thank you for the kind words. The bowmen are from West Wind Productions Arthurian line, Saxon bodies with hooded Pict heads. I chose these almost 3 years ago when I started this project. If I had to do it over again, I might have gone with the Conquest early medieval archers.  I'm trying not to get distracted by over-thinking.

There are some somewhat closer shots of Asha and Victarion off their command sabots on my blog-thingy.

 I'll try to get more.  Victarion is a GW Dark Elf Corsair special character, chosen for the kraken helm, obviously. He's wearing a sea dragon cloak that I didn't rightly know what to to with. I considered filling all the scales smooth with putty and making it just another oilskin cloak like the rest of the reavers.  I ended up opting for green scales with gold highlights, presumably from some exotic creature around the Summer Isles.  I'm not wild about it, but it works well enough for now and I don't want to get bogged down agonizing over any particular miniature. I need to move the whole retinue forward. And behind that, the Starks. And behind that...
With goodwill to all and malice towards none...

I'm loving all the squiddly diddlies. I like the archer figures too...

Well, ever-so-quietly, I'm returning to this project and hobbydom in general after a 9-month digression into real life preoccupations.

Need to photograph and post the Lannisters I had painted to speed this over-ambitious project forward.
