I've never read the books - but being a fantasy nut, I've watched the two seasons of the show thus far, and been interested enough to probably pick up the books.  It does make excellent gaming potential.  Love seeing threads like this!  :D

Thank you. The books are better than the show (which is not so bad...). I always been a fan of that novel, and this project born in my head few years ago...

I've known of the novels since a kid, but I don't like to start something unless I'm going to finish - and honestly that's a LOT of reading, so I keep putting it off.  I'll eventually get around to it.

My feeling exactly.
The TV show is quite enjoyable if you take it at face value.
The books are infinitely richer and better though.

very nicely done - I am envious that you have completed units. Mine are all part done as yet with more in the pipeline to build. Do you plan to do a unit of 'sparrows' as well as the sellswords?
Warriors dreams, summer grasses, all that remains

Thank you. I don't understand what "sparrows" means... :D I read the novel in French; could you explain me, please ?

I will start my Lannister billmen today.

Well, I found what "Sparrows" are...I love that idea, maybe an other unit soon (basing on GW flagellants and fanatics...) ;)

A templar knight, with the red star on the shield, of course... ;)

I don't know about you but I'm finding the whole finding/converting proxy figures extremely rewarding...  :)

Hi,

I’ve decided to join the Game of Thrones circus and get myself some figures.

I quite like the Front Rank HYW and WotR figures as a starting point for conversion – I have had them in past for historical projects and find them good consistant castings.

I planning 4 ‘factions’ - two for each ‘side’ (of around 24 figures each) but as for what I don’t know yet.

I quite fancy Beric Dondarrion’s ‘Brotherhood Without Banners’ (it saves painting banners, I thought) and Vargo Hoat’s ‘Bloody Mummers’ (I reckon the Goat would look good on his Zorse). although The Hound (or Bronn) and his sellswords have an appeal

The other to factions will be more conventional, though I have toyed with the idea of converting Artizan Black Guard into the Unsullied........
