After a longer hiatus ( big garden refurbishing and summer holidays) here is the next figure for my Lannister army:
The banner bearer of the unit:
The banner is freehand as is the lettering . The banner is done out of tin foil.
I used this picture as inspiration:
Here are more pictures of the figure and a close up of the Banner:
Hope you like the figure ! If so please like this or leave a reply
The Great Wargaming Survey is here again. Building on last year’s very successful snapshot, we’ve changed some questions, tightened up some others, and generally have tried to make it both worthwhile and comparable to last year.

I wanted to have a Sandor Clegane figure for my ongoing Game of Thrones project in 28mm.
As Inspiration I used this picture taken from one of the GoT films:
I used Parts from the Perry war of the roses plastic sets and an old Warhammer Knights plastic Helmet from which I cut the plum of. I scared the face on the right side to resemble the burn marks Sandor has.
I came up with this:
I did a riding version too:
With a little paint and the addition of a flag the figures look like this:
A close up of the scar:
And the riding version:
The heraldry is pure freehand I hope you like my Sandor Clegane figure . If so feel free to leave a coment or a like!
Close-up photography of small objects like our miniatures requires good lighting. However, lighting a piece properly to show the true color, details and beauty of a miniature can be difficult. A light box is a good solution. It provides light diffusion and a uniform background against which to place the object.
You can see how to make your own light box on this video
As I am playing Bold action by Warlord miniatures , I need a lot of scenery!
If you do not know Bold action it is a squad or platoon level wargame set in WWII.
As troops die very quickly in this system without adequat cover I started my terrain building project with field walls. You can see how I made them here.
The Perrys just had the first test shots of the Plastic Napoleonic British Light Dragoons so they thought to put some together and show you. There are larger pictures on there website (as well as a frame shot) on the plastic lists, where they’re up for pre-order. This is the troopers frame, you’ll get four of these frames in the box as well as four horse frames (the same as the British Hussars) and a command frame.
The box covers the Peninsula war as well as the Waterloo campaign uniforms 1808-15. However with a simple paint job (or modelling job) you can add a queue and take the date back to 1800.
Here is the newest Lannister figure:

The Belgian town with this name tries again to become world famous, because 200 years ago, on 18 June 1815, the French Emperor Napoleon suffered his decisive defeat at Waterloo.
Actually Waterloo is a medium-sized, sleepy village on the outskirts of the capital, Brussels. For the upcoming four-day 200-year celebrations the village and the area awaken again. Not only the souvenir shops indicate to whom it primarily goes: many shops greet with images of French Emperor with the famous cocked hat and on horseback. There is hope for a revival of the area. “I live for over 50 years in Waterloo and know the story of Napoleon ,” says one inhabitant of the village. “Most of the residents will benefit, especially the business, “says the pensioner. Waterloo was the Headquarters of the Duke of Wellington not the center of the great battle of 18 June 1815. The Duke commanded the Allied soldiers against the French army. The battle took place in the fields of nearby hamlets.
An open-air arena at Mont-Saint-Jean has been prepared for the spectators. Countless rows of seats were literally mounted on a greenfield site. Here will be a light-and-sound show, entitled “Inferno” in remembrance of the anniversary of the battle in which 45,000 soldiers fell in a few hours or were wounded and maimed.
Over the next two days 5500 volunteers from over 50 countries will reenact – in period costume and supported by 100 guns and more than 350 horses – the battle. This will be the largest historical re-enactment of the Napoleonic era at all anywhere in the world. It took 18 months of preparation.
Here is the next Lannister Billman:
