Well you can join the US guys and just weep in sorrow!  lol

Can confirm, would weep in sorrow.  :P

Great painting Magos!  Those knights are going to be a serious source of inspiration.  :-*

Thanks Wellington! Seeing the notification for this thread pop up in my inbox inspired me to come back to it after a few months. I'll hopefully have something new to show for it soon :)

Ok, so, 'soon' may have actually meant 'in about four months'. But at long last, here's the next unit for my slowly expanding Westeros collection.

It's finally time for someone to put a stop to Robert and his treachery, and who better to do it than the young Jon Connington, impetuous new Hand of the King? Here's a unit of Connington bowmen, proudly standing against their liege lord Robert in favour of their king. Somehow I don't think it's going to turn out too well for them...

Anyway, I knocked these guys out on a whim after they sat undercoated on my desk for a few months. Pretty rough and ready, really the minimum level of painting I'd ever own up to, but they'll do for tabletop quality troops, and it felt good to finish another unit.

Your Westerosi are coming together really nicely. I love the heraldry.  :-*

Great figures,  I'm looking at this for 15mm battles but am struggling to find a list of houses, alliances and heraldry on line.

Any help would be appreciate as my Google-foo is failing.

Thanks

Minimum level, they look great, better by many levels than anything I've ever painted!

@Bunny, you should check out the Wiki of Ice and Fire, they have lists of all the houses and heraldry where known. Case in point, I'm currently going through this page for Riverland heraldry: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Riverlands

Foreshadowing a little I guess lol.

Well, as I hinted, here are some Riverlanders. Men at Arms from House Tully, accompanied by a couple of allied knights.
I wanted to try and match the look of the Tullys from the show, where they wear a strange sort of leather scale armour. Not the most historically accurate for the pseudo historical period of the setting, but hey, fish, right?
Anyway, I'd like to think I've managed an acceptable blend of historical and the show. The two Knights are Ser Desmond Grell and Lord Jason Mallister.

Those are some brilliant models.
Pray tell, where did you get them from, or what kits did you make them from? I know you've been using the Perry Miniatures' Agincourt plastics, but still, the knights in the front row of that Tully unit look brilliant. :o
Just a wanna be modeler.

Thanks guys :) The Tully men at arms are made from a mix of Fireforge Scandinavians and Perry knights mostly.
