Winter is coming...

Welcome to the party, Silent Bob.

Creating two, unconventional forces that were right in the thick of the fighting is a great idea.  Plus, each of the give you plenty of creative scope to assemble a cool array of miniatures.

Looking forward to what you come up with!

I used Warlord Numidians for my Unsullied and greenstuffed quilted tunics on all of them (What can I say, it seemed like a good idea at the time!)

[Silent bob]

I've ordered the figures for the first of my factions.

Anyone got any ideas for goat horns?

Doh, all sold out at the moment.....still there's plenty of time.

Wot, already?  Or did I misread it first time...?

Anyway, there are other warhammer bits sellers online and other of GW's ranges to look at (particularly horned skaven bits).  Although given that link and my own recent experience, it could be a struggle to find anyone with much in stock.

I painted three Direwolves :

Nymeria :




Grey Wind :




And Ghost :


Ghost next to my Mance Rayder :


The Hound attacking Nymeria on the royal road :


The Mountain and his huge destrier against Nymeria :


I based my work on the novels and some old illustrations that show them bigger than the televison serie :roll:

I always find strange that their mother was definitly bigger than her sons, in the serie... :suspect:

I like your direwolfs, alltough they're quite big in my eyes..
I have my own GoT project at the fantasy board here, don't have the wolfs yet, but I'm looking for the models atm.
Your models are great, but a bit big IMO..

Great project tough, and what a terrain! 

[craig2]

Thank you.

[tomrommel1]

looking good

[craig2]

Thanks !

The Wolves are a little bigger than I saw them in my mind's eye but seem to fit with the description in the novels.  In any case, lovely models. 

[craig2]

Thank you.
As an extrem fan of the novels, I prefer them like this. Real fantasy monsters, not the pretty dogs of the serie...  (I like the serie, but I think it was less expensive to use real wolves than make digital ones...But the result is that they are not so impressive, I think...On the contrary the digital dragons are very fearsome...)

Here are my free people warriors :

Tormund Giantsbane and his wild warriors :






Mance Rayder and his headquarter :




Some warriors from the clan Thenn (with caracteristic bronze weapons) :


Jeor Mormont and his patrolmen falled on a strong force of free men, but there is no doubt that they'll win :






Just for showing that I switched the weapons by stone or bone ones :


Weapons are from Saga's Skraelings.
Figures mostly, are from Gripping beast Jomsvikings and Foundry Vikings (with few Musketeer).
