This time a build only with parts from the Barbarian box. The pictures are taken with a diffuser on my lights I think this gives better quality pictures.
More to come in the near future.
Another Wildling Archer
Game of Thrones
The first figure of my Wildling Army
So with Easter out of the way and after a longer brake in painting Game of Thrones related figures, the Westfalia halfmen got in the way, here is the first figure of my Wildling bow unit for Dragon Rampant. The figure is a Northstar Barbarian figure.
The figure is kit bashed with a body and head from the Frostgrave Barbarian set, Arms from the Frostgrave warriors set, and arrows from a Perry war of the roses set.
More to come in the next days. This unit comprises 12 figures.
Lord of Bones Wildling chief
The Lord of Bones, also mocked as “Rattleshirt” by the brothers of the Night’s Watch, is a wildling leader of renown. He is called Rattleshirt due to his armor, which is made up of loosely-tied bones that clatter as he moves. He wears a broken giant’s skull as his helm.(Wiki of Ice and Fire). This is my take of him:
It is a Frostgrave barbarian body with a Frostgrave cultists head and some green stuff for the bones. He leads a 6 man unit of heavy Infantry ( two handed weapons ) for my Dragon Rampant Wildling army.
Hope you like what you see! More of my Wildling army over the next weeks.
some livestock
I painted up some livestock . Sheep with the shepherd and his dog.
The minis are from Gripping beast when I remember correctly . I had them so many years before actually painting them . You know what it is like living with a lead mountain 😉
Here are some pictures of the shepherd and his Dog:
And some more pictures of all the minis:
There will be more animals an civilians in the future for doing looting scenarios with my Game of Thrones figures.
The start of a GoT wildling army
The free folk is the name used to refer to themselves by the people who live in the lands beyond the Wall, still on the continent of Westeros but beyond the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms. The name they employ makes reference to their society, which recognizes no inherent or hereditary political authority, except for leaders whom they choose to follow. The people of the Seven Kingdoms refer to the Free Folk derogatorily as wildlings.
Normally the wildlings are divided into many different rival clans ( up to 90 different ones), but occasionally they unite behind a single over-chieftain known as a King-Beyond-the-Wall, as they were under Mance Rayder. A major difference between the Free Folk and the feudal society of the Seven Kingdoms is that they do not recognize a class of hereditary nobility in their society. They take great pride in their “free” status.
When the Barbarian plastic box set from North Star came out a few weeks back I got myself a few boxes as I think they are a good start to do wildlings or free folk. First is a “unit” (is this a term fit for wildlings?) of 12 Bowmen or hunters . They will hunt for game as well as black watch.
The chief of the unit. A Barbarian body and arms with a frostgrafe soldier head with horns from a barbarian head.
first warrior:
A barbarian body with frost grave soldiers arms and Perry arrows.
second warrior:
A complete barbarian build minus the horns on the helmet which I gave to the chief.
third warrior:
A frost grave soldiers body with barbarian arms and head.
fourth warrior:
A barbarian body arms and head with a Perry bow and quiver on the back.
fifth warrior:
Again a strait build from the Barbarian box with the addition of Perry arrows.
sixth warrior:
A frostgrave Soldier body with barbarian arms and head
seventh warrior:
another strait build
eighth warrior:
and another right out of the barbarian box set.
nineth warrior:
A complete barbarian build.
tenth warrior:
A barbarian head and body with frost grave soldiers arms.
eleventh warrior:
A complete barbarian build with Perry arrows.
So these are the twelve figures in the unit for Dragon Rampant. There is one question though.
The wildlings in the films have all long sleeves . The barbarian arms have bare upper arms. Have a look here:
Would you sculpt long sleeves on the models? I mean the come from the cold !?
The fight for the wizard! A GoT AAR
We had a game at the weekend using a part of my GoT figures . The rules we used were Dragon Rampant. The was to “rescue” a wizard. The wizard moved randomly (when he moved at all ). My son played the Lannisters I played the Starks.
The wizard.
The disposition at the beginning.
The Starks had the first move but lost the roll for movement and so the Lannisters had a go. The wizard refused to move at all.
My son tried to move the Lannisters but failed the to move die roll too. Therefore Robb Stark was activated by me to gallop for the wizard.
Both sides send the heavies in then.
The infantry followed up next
An Overview of the battle at this stage.
Then a Move activation of Robb Stark worked and he reached the wizard.
Now a grand melee commenced around Robb and the wizard!
The battle moved from side to side and both sides lost a lot of warriors, so that at last a battle between Jaime Lannister and Robb Stark decided the fate of the wizard.
And the Lannisters could lead the wizard away
I Hope you liked the battle report . Next will be a full battle with all the Got figures I have .
The finished House Brax mixed unit
Here are pictures of the finished House Brax unit . A 12 man mixed unit for Dragon Rampant:
Next GoT unit will be a mixed House Blackwood of Raventree unit.
The Captain of the House Brax unit
Here is the last addition to my House Brax unit . The Captain of the unit. The figure is from Perry the Shield from Fire Forge. The heraldry is as always freehand.
I will put up pictures of the completed unit as soon as I have taken them.
The last House Brax Billman
I finished the last House Brax Billman yesterday. A strait build from a Perry box ( don’t ask me which though, can’t remember)
Next and last miniature in this unit will be the Captain of the unit.
And the next House Brax warrior
Another billman . Next up will be a new crossbowman
Hope you like what you see.
