Fantastic! Love the 40k scene and the Lannisters are very nice too.

Richard, is the chap with the beard supposed to be a specific character? I can see your Tyrio, Jaime and Kevan, and the fourth looks too distinctive to be just a soldier.

I've been admiring that ruin from your last entry actually, and after doing a bit of research found that it's sold pre-painted! Quite pricey, but actually looking at how these figures scale against it I'm guessing it's really quite big... It's on my shopping list!

Charlie_, I did wonder about casting him as Tywin, but he doesn't really quite fit my image of him. He was just a nice figure that I thought would work well in the group... I shall have to find a long lost Lannister uncle  :)
The irony is, he was one of a number of Blue Moon medieval figures that the Prof kindly donated to me last year. Now he's getting a puffing from that very same Prof  ;)  Ah, it must be karma...

The buildings are great. I bought them several months ago when the pound was riding strangely high against the euro, so got (what I thought) was a very good deal... Of course, the pound has slipped back a fair bit since... Thus do global economics impact on our ability to pursue our hobby as we might desire...  :)

Well he kind of exists! Gerion Lannister, Tywin's youngest brother, favourite uncle of both Tyrion and Jaime. Went on a quest looking for his family's ancestral sword Brightroar, and never returned.

I think you've got uncle Gerion there!

Both are so beautiful. As others have said, a "Both" choice would so nice in cases like this.

Have to join the chorus and say those are two superb entries. I'm not sure it's appropriate to deploy the word 'sublime', but I'm thinking those are in the neighborhood.

Wow Alex, that is some of the most inspirational painting and photography I have seen on here in a long time!

The Lannisters are also very well done. Especially Tyrion.
