Excellent work on the tower and the mounted Clegane, he looks massive

Thanks Mathias and all. This kit bashing thing is quite a lot off fun, as many have before me have attested. I have not made it easy for myself chosing large, Warhammer sized miniatures as Propperhammer miniatures are 1) expensive, 2) it takes some time to find the right bits and 3) Bretonnia miniatures, which are most suitable for aSoIaF, are of varying quality (the later 5-6th ed Perry sculpted minis are the dogs bollocks). But after a good rummage in various bitz boxes and don't discriminate against chaos, Empire, well, pretty much anything, you can put together some rather nice creations.

I've completed some more conversion work, now some men-at-arms of House Clegain, aka. The Mountain's Men

I am trying to convey some brutishness in their demeanor, like arming them with mace and flail. The mace is completely scrathbuilt, I think I overdid it, the head is to big. Oh well...

That is certainly a brutal-looking mace, but not half as bad as those spikes they are impaled upon

Impressive Peder.
The head of the mace looks like that mighty flail thing the Witch King of Angmar wields when he’s trying to brain Eowyn in The Return of The King...

Nice converting! Are the bodies both Fireforge Forgotten World cavalry?

Yes. Not a look I was going for. Looking at it like this I think I can see away how to remedy it.

The legs are indeed from Fireforge, the rest are from various.

I upgraded Sir Damond Marbrand with a barded charger.

Looking at the picture I realise I whould have taken a close against a plain background of Sir Damon and the nag as the barding has some quite intricate brushwork on it. Oh, well... Later perhaps...
