A new Stark Bowmen unit

When I was at Crisis in Antwerp in November I got one of the new boxes of plastic bowmen by Conquest games.

The figures are quite nice but it is very difficult to build them in a way that they look like shooting an arrow correctly. Normally the arrow arm is lifted up to the ear when you draw a bow ( I am an sports archer myself) but this is not really achievable with these minis. Anyway I gave them a try and started to build and paint a 12 men bow unit for my Stark Army ( for Dragon Rampant).

Here is the first bowman:

This is a strait build from the box except the hood which was added with some greenstuff. The grass tufts were made with the flock box I got for xmas. You can see a review on the terrain page.

More during the next days.

 

Grey Wind

Grey Wind is a dire wolf bonded to Robb Stark.                                                                      He is the litter-mate of Lady, Nymeria, Summer, Shaggydog, and Ghost. Grey Wind is discovered along with his litter mates by Robb Stark and Jon Snow after the dire wolves mother has been killed by a stag. Like the other dire wolves, Grey Wind forms a special bond with his master. Like Robb, Grey Wind grows bold and faithful. Robb names him Grey Wind due to his fast speed when running.

Grey Wind follows Robb around Winterfell and sits at his feet when he holds court. When Greatjon Umber menaces Robb during a meeting, Grey Wind bites two of the lord’s fingers off, helping Robb gain the respect of Umber and other Stark banner men.

During the War of the Five Kings, Grey Wind follows Robb into battle and adds significantly to Robb’s fearsome reputation. At the Battle of the Whispering Wood, Grey Wind kills several men.

I painted this new figure because I think my old model doesn’t look menacing enough and  doesn’t represent Grey Wind like he should be. Furthermore I didn’t like the way I painted him.

Have a look for yourself:direwolf3 Kopie

Here are some more pictures of the new Grey Wind Miniature, by the way the grass tufts I used were made with the flock box I got for xmas :

This is the third sergeant of the unit. He was built out of the Fireforge mounted sergeants box. I tried to get him into a pose were he is about to hit a fleeing enemy. He uses his shield as a counterwight as he leans far out to the right.
