Game of Thrones, my mini project

Howdy Ho guys,

Second topic for me to show you the beginning of a small troup of Lannisters.
I used Gondor LSDA and WOTR Perry (yes, not so original, I know)
Please sorry for the pictures

I can see the appeal, and I never do much like the realisation of the Gondorians in the films, apart from the Ithiien rangers etc. As for archers in 1/2  and 3/4 armour, and enclosing helms. Honestly.
BUT
I DO like your Westerosi take on them. I'd go one step further and change the shields - they are too ideosyncratic. Kite, heater, or even oval shields would match. The more wearable armour, the less you needed a warboard to take hits. They are easy enough to come by and would give them a more pseudo-medieval and less fantasy feel.
Having said all that I do like your archers, especially the sensible open face helmets and the unarmoured heads.

Thank you for your honesty
For the shields, I'll use others in the next minis but i dont have many of them so i keep them for lords and captain

 So maybe I'll sculpt them to look oval or change it with late roman shield but i agree.

Fine, they'll do handsomely for the Sers!

Hi Askellad,

you could very easily do a mould of the shields and cast all the shields you need.

Those Perry head-swaps onto Perry WoMT do quite nicely!!  Looking foward to seeing your paint on them.

I've considered using Uruk Hai warrior heads as a basis for HBO style Lannisters, but I hadnt seen the potential in Gondor warriors for armoured bodies.

Minindk, found this in the internet

Exactly!
I hadnt seen that picture before, but its pretty much what I have in mind for a small Lion Rampant Lannister force. Either a few lines of black paint across the chest, or some tiny greenstuff lines if my modelling skills are up to it, and they're spot on for the HBO look.

[Askellad]

Really nice builds!!! Looking forward to see them all painted!! You're Jaime looks btw kinda like mine haha

[The Voivod]

Nice, wouldn't mind some of those mini's
Those'll look sweet with some paint.

Looks like you are off to a good start! I feel the heads of some of the starks are to high on the bodies, as if they had double necks. The heads with Frostgrave barbarian heads. I think you could shave the necks down on the heads quite a lot to better match up with the Perry bodies.

nice additions. Was this thread added to the GoT  hub?
