House Martell for A Game of Ice and Fire to add to my collection.

House Martell - the house I always said I would use in ASOIAF. Lighter, more skirmishy, more hit and run than the Knight's Watch. Cheaper combat units (mostly), but a lot more NCUs that work very differently. Should be fun.
 
Last two figures from House Martell Heroes 2 set.
Gerold Dayne and Arianne Martell


They've been on my painting table since the summer, just never been in the right mood, until now...


Just the archers to do now.

 
Martell Heroes, box 1


Many cloaks


Interesting poses


4/6th of Martell Heroes, box 2


Ready to go


More cloaks


Dervishes


Deadly, sometimes


Top view


Quite a bit of animation in these


Just the archers and two more heroes to go. 
Two units of Martell spearmen


Unit 1


Top down


Brace!


Advance!


About face


Unit 2 - spot the difference!


From above


More bracing


Think my phone camera is on the way out - unless anyone can suggest a way to clean teh lens!


Prince {Doran Martell}, Prince of Dorne, and a Dervish that I picked up by mistake


Zoom


Detail on back
 
 
Starfall Knights - heavy hitter, but not as heavily armoured as other knights, but still something to make your opponent worry!


Charge!


Players' view


Fast moving, heavy hitting, guard cavalry


Starfall Outriders, lighter cavalry that have flanking and healing functions


Skirmish types


Even faster, even lighter


Rear view
 
Extra characters and a unit for my Night's Watch
 
Cold Hands, big role in the books, left out the TV series






Not often you have to google "elk colours"


Eddard Stark, Craster, Gilly and Samwell Tarly


Gilly adds some much needed colours to the force!




Night's watch attachments from a friend (thanks John)- Ranger veteran, veteran captain and builder captain/character, all useful unit boosters






Night's Watch Rangers


And dog hair!


Patrol underway


Quick, look that way!
 
Part of my TOIL haul from Boards and Swords Hobbies , a Night's Watch starter set and a Ranger Vangard booster for A Song of Ice and Fire
Already played one game and won!

Ranger trackers - light cavalry


Inevitable top view


Mobile and shooty, not the best combat troops, but that's not what they're used for.


Ranger Vangaurds, heaier cavalry, and get to flank march, which allows you to sneak up on enemy units where they are very effective when attacking from teh side or rear


To quote Lego Batman, "I only work in black, or really, really dark grey!"


Certainly moody


Sworn brothers of the watch, a tasty and very decent combat unit


It's artifical fur


You get two units of these, one was enough to deal some major hurts on Thursday!




And even harder than the Sworn Brothers are the vetrans of the Watch


These come with a couple of cool abilities, opponents get a -1 to his and they cause a hit for every miss your opponent rolls


Ghost the Direwolf


If Ghost is the runt...


Watch heores, Jon Snow bottom left (no, not the news reader)


Measter Aemon about to fall over?

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.  I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! Nasty rash there Puss, but no boots   Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit!

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

Mark and Stephen took my British at 1750 points, with effectively the same lists as before, but with two turns of preprogrammed artillery and a turn of smoke to assault my 1100 points of Germans who were in dugouts and gunpits. I chose to defend the four hills near my baseline. I has three HMGs, three mortars, two command teams and six infantry platoons, with two PAK36s teams. PAK36s and mortars on the back hill, two infantry and an HMG on the front. Infantry and Mortars in the left hill as a flank guard British stalled, turn 1 they failed to reach the table, so it took them at least four turns to advance. Artillery had landed on the right-hand hill, and rear hill, but had failed to kill anything, even with two 8 gun batteries of 25lbers . My ambush was sprung out the thicket. British infantry advancing developed an unfortunate habit of getting hit by mortars and HMGs. The British in turn 6 cleared the central hill with armour, but needed to get at least three infantry stand...
