Those guys turned out awesome . Very vibrant colors on the cloaks.

Also saw the 2 player starter on Walmart.com for $67.99 with 3 day shipping. I had gotten my set from CMON on sale for $68 before the price rise and free shipping. I'm always scouting deals.

Thank you Theo.

The Warrior's Sons sculpts have this kind of funny mullet effect where from the front they are a tide of steel but from the back they look like a rainbow. I like them both ways. The cloaks will get toned down once I hit them with a wash.

I also ordered some Roman helmet crests bits (paid a stupid price) I plan to add to their helmets as I just don't like them as is. Hopefully the guy ships soon.

Wish I could get my printers set back up, but with the mother-in-law moving in temporarily after her surgery, it's not happening, in fact i'll be losing my space for a while. When I get back to lannisters I may have to print some heads for some models as I don't like some of the older sculpts.

Meanwhile in Greyjoyland...

Ironmakers are coming along nicely. Probably some of my favorite sculpts in the game.






Helmets and the tentacles on the hammer heads have been painted faux-gold since. Almost done with all the units for Saturday, just characters left.

Those Ironmakers looking very good Theo! Very scary sight

I'm curious: What heads do you plan on replacing? I'm pretty fond of the old Guardsmen if you change that one head so he isn't looking over his shoulder and I like all the Halberdiers. I'm not a fan of a couple of the Mountains Men heads or the Warriors Sons

I think the sculpts since that time period have improved a lot. Red cloaks, Lannisport City Watch, etc.

Just gonna throw in that I really appreciate the activity in the thread. Christmas can't come fast enough for me.

But anyway if we're talking aesthics we don't like, I will confess that I'm not a fan of the Renaissance-ish look of some Lannister troops. And I really dislike the feathers attached to the helmets of some.

Heads and helmets are the main design I would change. I did a head swap on my stormcast eternals a while back, when I get my modeling area back and can fix my printer I will try and rescale the heads to fit the lannisters.

Yes, heads and helmets are the main things I dislike about the ASOIAF models. Lots of heads have really bad hair sculpts, at least to my liking.

update brought over from my newest P&M Blog.

This morning I knocked out 4 characters.

Rodrik the reader

Wendamyr and his raven

Nute the Barber in a fresh smock before doing some barbering. The blown up picture makes me realize I need to paint the buttons on the tunic.

Victarion, being the better Great Jon than any the Starks could find.

I need to do Erik Ironmaker, but not necessary for this weekend, just as a possible swap out for next time. I'll be going with both archer units this weekend instead of one archer and one trapper. We will see how that works out.

Are new models still being previewed/released for this game line?

The released House Martell a few months back, in October I believe.

Yes! Really solid release schedule with 3-4 new boxes every quarter. Massive amount of options for all factions except Martells which just recently got their starter plus an elite infantry unit

 warboss wrote:

Biggest issue is some of the older sets sold out right away and no restock (Mother of Dragons ), but long out of stock items are starting to come back in now. Some areas of the world get boxes months or even a year late (Very rare, but tournament organizers are good about communicating shat can and cannot be used). Specifically Red Cloaks were not released in England for a long time, still think they have not received them, so the national tournament said no one could bring them to use. Still my group is fine with allowing proxies on the correct unit tray as all cards are available to be printed out.

Thanks for the confirmation and good to hear. While I don't plan on playing the game, there are several kits that are on my random RPG bucket list of kits for minis.

There are some really great models that would work for just about any fantasy setting. The Free Folk in particular have fantastic models for any sort of cold climate fantasy RPG.

Finished up a scenic base for one of the best NCUs and an auto include in every list for me : Pycelle

Hoping the colors contrast nicely with the deep scarlet I plan to paint his robes.

What are you hoping to get for Christmas Gurkal? Have you been able to play the game yet with anyone? I've managed to hook a whole group of people in it and now have a great playgroup going.

Money and money. As I think I've mentioned I'm still recovering from a serious accident in februari 2021 and have not yet been able to return to work, hence my inability to get this project off the ground properly yet. Thus I sit at home with a single starter set for Baratheon but hoping that with Christmas, if things goes right, I'll be able to get hold of one or two more and start to get people over to my place for games.

And no, I haven't been able to get a single game going yet due to this accursed accident and the drawn out recovery phase.

Dang man, I'm sorry to hear that! I hope your recovery speeds along.

Thank you. Your concern is welcome and appreciated.

But anyway, Asoiaf TMG isn't my only interest so we'll see if I take the plunge after this Christmas or if I hold out for my recovery to, hopefully, come to an end relatively soon and start to invest in this game after I'm back at work.

Good luck with the recovery, work injuries are a pain from my own experience.

Also of note, The Martell Cavalry units and the Dune Vipers hit retail at Miniature Market today. We have the monthly meet up tomorrow and I have a game scheduled with my newly painted Greyjoy vs. a friends Boltons. I normally don't take the Crown very often on the NCU board, but I have a feeling I may be bringing Petyr Baelish tomorrow to hold that spot and take another. Though the last time I played my Greyjoy I was making all my moral checks on 11 and 12s.

ASOIAF monthly meet up today. Good turn out, 11 or 12 people. Wanted to get 2 games in but the first person was an hour late, so I played someone else and was worn out by the time the first game was done. It was good seeing new faces today.

6 units for my army

Victarion in reapers
Nute in ironmakers

Two units of longbowmen with NCUs Rodrick Harlaw and Wendamyr

Two units of reavers

Realized I need to still paint the reavers axe handles , I forgot I didn’t have a brown I wanted.

Victarion hitting the flank of the night watch rangers?(Cavalry). They did 11 hits and 10 wounds, but they survived. Rear Flanked by Ghost, who then got Barbered by Nute.

Game was basically over turn 4 with a win from me 11-8. He still had John Snow in a unit agains 3 units of mine with me holding 2 objectives.

Nice looking army and good work in getting a win. I've understood that Targaryens and Night's Watch are the, statistically speaking, two top armies from tournaments. Although I don't know where the Greyjoys stands in relations to Targaryen and Night's Watch.

I would say Nights Watch is definitely a top tier army, while Targaryen and Greyjoy probably aren't.

Free Folk and Martells are currently very good and probably top two armies in mega competitive scene.

That being said, the game really does have great balance and most games are decided mostly by player skill and experience. How well your faction does also depends to some extent by the local meta and how connected it is to the online TTS meta.

For example, I find Targaryens super hard to play against, while in the online global meta they are bottom third type faction.

Congrats Theo on the win against NW. They are a tough army no matter where/who you are playing. So much healing!

Here is my Pycelle I just finished:



Giving out weakened tokens is so powerful. He is one of my favorite NCUs.

He looks excellent. Plus I would always put him on the board facing away from my opponent as he looks like he is sneakily trying to poison the cup.

Ha! That is a great idea. I'm going to do that from here on out.

Thank you

And always offer your opponent a luke warm beverage before the game .

I have a bunch of those bases. I may have to use them on some of my Lannister NCUs when I get back to them.

The Mountain who rides:

Nicely done! He looks like a beast. Speaking of beasts...



I finally decided to check out the CMON website and there are a ton of new units there that weren't previously available the last time I checked (admittedly a while ago!).

Thanks warboss!

Yeah, the game has a really nice and pretty regular release schedule. Assmodee will still miss some dates, but there is a ton of units for every army.

The bear riders are great miniatures, especially for the price.

I did read in this thread that the newer figs are better in terms of detail/sculpt quality than the older ones. Are they at the point in the lifecycle of the game where they've mentioned redoing some of the initial kickstarter releases?

Very nice job on Ser Gregor.

They redid most of the initial Stark v Lannister set, so new Stark Sworn Swords and Umber Berserkers and Lannister Guardsmen and Halberdiers. No mention of anything else getting redone. The original Bolton stuff is very nice and doesn't need any redoing. I also think the original Lannister stuff was nice as it was, if maybe just a little boring. I find them very enjoyable to paint.

Thank you. I'm very pleased with how my conversion turned out. He makes it into most of my lists, so I wanted him to be snazzy.
