Beautiful collection, Richard 

[Silent Invader]

Stunning 

[DeafNala]

I really enjoy your flair for colors, and your masterful touch with the brush. BEAUTIFULLY WELL DONE one & all!

[Dr. The Viking]

Very pleasant looking black there. It must be a pain to paint that wolf over and over again.


Where are you going with this? Just painting to have fun or do you have an actual game in the binoculars?

[rednorseman]

Whole thread is full of inspired genius! Ace.
thanks for posting-

[FramFramson]

Not any more 

But what will the other Jotunn say? 

[Captain Blood]

Thank you 

It must be a pain to paint that wolf over and over again.

Actually, I find it quite therapeutic... 

(No, you're right of course. It's an utter pain in the ass )

Where are you going with this? Just painting to have fun or do you have an actual game in the binoculars?

Well I reckon I've now done about 30 figures - but for several different houses / factions. So not quite enough for a game yet - even with Jimbibbly's forces (think he's done another 15 or so?)
So I shall keep making and painting a few more here and a few there, and eventually, one day, we'll discover we have enough for a small but perfectly formed GoT skirmish 

As mentioned, I'm quite looking forward to the Frostgrave plastic soldiers, because I'll definitely make up a few more Westerosi types from that.

Probably what I need to do is knuckle down and build / paint another whole batch of about 12 - 15 more Lannisters. But I have several other projects ahead in the painting queue at the moment... You know how it is...

Got 20 Northmen, 10 of the Riverlands and 20 Free City boys complete with many more built 

cheers

Got 20 Northmen, 10 of the Riverlands and 20 Free City boys complete with many more built 

Really?
Blimey. I must have missed some of them 
We've got enough for a game then.
Except we've nearly all got 'goodies' - my half a dozen Lannisters and a few treacherous Boltons and Greyjos won't stand a chance   

[Harry von Fleischmann]

That is so damn inspirational; makes my use of second hand GW Gondor troops rather shameful. That said, if you do need some Stark allies in a hurry, it seems that Lord Blackwood of Weirwood had a white weird wood tree as his sigil....so there is a Westeros use for those Minas Tirith chaps with the silver tree after all. You may know that already of course!

Love the Starks!

[tyrionhalfman]

You do a great job of showing us what can be done by mixing the different plastics sets available especially in a fantasy setting where you're not restricted by historical accuracy and can focus on what looks good.thanks for sharing

The Lannisters send their regards?

[tomrommel1]

very nice  figures indeed

[Captain Blood]

Thanks Tom. They wouldn't look quite so nice if I hadn't stolen your idea of a two-tone shield background for the Starks, so thanks for that once again
