25mm Unsullied?

[Hupp n at em]

I wonder if those plastic numidians (wargames factory) could work.  Just swap out the heads for the helmet of your choice and the arms for suitably pike/spear/shield armed ones (perhaps from those Hoplites or the Warlord Phalangites above?). Might take some trimming up of sleeves and putty cleanup work to make it fit though.

If I make Unsullied in the future, I think I'll give them armor (though more realistic than the fanciful leather gear in the show).  I know GRRM describes them as unarmored, but I just can't rationalize the most expensive slave soldiers in the world not wearing armor...

Oh man have I got the perfect miniatures for you. I just saw that episode for the first time the other day and I immediately turned to my girlfriend and said, "I have some of those dudes in miniature!" which is kind of a running joke between us. But I never say it unless it's true. 


Anyway, these Kev White sculpted Harlequin saracens should suit you:

The pics are small but I can vouch for the sculpts. 28-29mm to the eye.

Yes some of those figures have potential..

The BTD Saracens are nice, its just too bad there are not many sculpt variants.

I'm not sure in what range 12 sculpts is counted as "not many."

I used Warlord Numidians with Perry Ansar heads (for the unshaven look) and green stuff...

Well, 3 actual spear-like weapon poses.  3 at-ease polearm poses, and then 6 sword armed figures (inc command).  That leaves you 3 figures with which to make a spear-armed unit without doing conversion work on the rest.  Might be fine for a unit of 10 if you include command, but if you want a 20-strong unit there will be a lot of repeats.
