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.
 
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.   Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty). "Creedo!" I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere). This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure,  Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure,  completly  repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over. Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them! 72 in the first three bases of 24s. Top view, had fun posing one stand at least The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24. Back view Not the crisp view I was after, but you get the idea. 40 in five lots of 8s Allowing for flexibility. Scoot 48 in fours Top view Threes, ten bases making another thirty. Moving quickly. Top down Twos, twelve of - standard size of US troopers, useful as small change for locals! From above Back view Damn, missed one! And one broke off his base, so he's Hollywood loss (insert Wilheim scream here). Top view 33 ones (two were joined together and counted in the twos. Cantabrian anyone? Spinning maelstrom of Souix! Almost a whole A4 of riders.
