Lovely use of the Richard Lionheart SALUTE figure! I made mine into a passable Aragorn a while back but yours is an excellent Eddard Stark. I love the fur cloaks. Your Clegane figures have inspired me to resvisit the Bretonnians I have in my bits box.
I also like the 'holdfast' in the background too

I like your Wolf shields, simple & effective.

They are re-painted Space Wolves decals...

I too like the shield devices - but I like the autumnal treatment of the bases more - a nice idea. I'm using patches of brown flock to simulate autumn leaves, but I like your heather/mosses/lichen...

Thanks, I didn't think they were hand painted, just like the idea and the finish. It also gives me an idea for a Warlord using my Richard figure from Salute IIRC.

That's what I love about Westeros as a 'period'. It gives you the freedom to be really creative. It's surprising what you can come up with using a bit of lateral thinking!

Pretty cool, who makes the miniatures?

My pleasure is to use historic figures to represent fantasy characters...I don't like so much real fantasy minis. I prefer realistic figures, in a fantasy theme.

Ned is the Salute figure (2002, I think...) by Copplestone.
The Stark are all modified Front Rank.
The Clegane are a modified GW Bretonnian knight, for Gregor; and Sandor is a Front rank modified knight (green stuff for the burned face...).

Thank you everybody !

I'm with you Craig2 - History is the new fantasy. I shall have to look at the Front Rank medievals with a more critical eye. There's some nice figures in the range I can see added to my own Westerosi bannermen.

I noticed that. I've thought the same for Gregor - the GW's stuff certainly outscale enough.

Everything looks great.

Nice job on all that white, and the little touchups give the Space Wolf decals a fresh look.

That little watchtower looks great! Good work on the figures too

Loving it! It's motivational to see your painted models.

Now if I could only find some hobby time to get some paint on mine...
