This is almost cruel-forcing us to choose between two masterpieces.  What else can I say but  :o :o :o :o :o :o

I love the Brave Companions, Cap'n, but - where are the Zorses? What about the Black Goat of Qohor?  ;)

Or perhaps these are separate from your GoT figures, and the name is just a coincidence?

 :o wow both are amazing. But I have to go with the Brave Companions, lovely conversions and painting. Love all the extra bits of kit on them.

Second the call for Vargo Hoat, Dothraki, died hair and beards and Zorses!

Sorry Richard, this time Michael is a edge better because of the scenary. It is not fair that these two guys always match-up, but so is the game.

Well, truthfully, they're going to double up a ribauds or scurrers for the Wars of the Roses, which is what I made them for in the first place. So having them on zebras would look a bit odd  ;)
But they do have that disreputable rabble feel that should serve for lesser members of the Bloody Mummers. I know Vargo Hoat rides a zorse, but didn't think they all did. More of a mixed bag of assorted rascals if my memory serves... For pure GoT purposes though, I may well add a Vargo-sur-zorse plus a standard-bearer with the goat flag. Should be fun to model and paint.

Thanks Dirk. Yes indeed. A truly wonderful scene from the Admiral. Bad planning on my part I'm afraid. I hadn't thought through the effects of the new Swiss Pairing System. I have several scenery-heavy entries lined up for later in the league. I hadn't twigged I should have played them first, not last!  lol
This is, in fact, the ONLY team I've prepared without a scenic setting. Certainly not the one I would have chosen to put up against a maestro like Michael!
But... It's still early days... All to play for :)

Bloody tough decision, since both are bloody marvellous, but based purely on the amount of kitbashing work I know has gone into Cpn Blood's figures, I'm voting for them.  :D

I don't think they all rode zorses, but I do think a few of them did... Vargo at the very least.  Looking forward to your future efforts!

Dear Bjoern,
we talk at DoOrDice about your tables ;). After watching the painting it was a tie, but the mood after wtching it with scenary gives this edge for Michael. Sorry Björn, it is not so unimportant. Maybe in LPL11 scenary is not allowed, but in the moment it supports the work
