So these posts seem to be coming on an almost weekly basis at the moment, which is nice. My Saturday Hobby Habit. Anyway, this time I’m wrapping up the last of the characters from the Starter Set for A Song of Ice and Fire Miniatures Game with Ser Gregor Clegane, The Mountain. He’s a fairly simple mini to paint, so here’s the finished product.

The armour here is something I'm rather proud of. I got the dark metallic look by basecoating with Leadbelcher before covering over the metal plates with a layer of Black Tmeplar Contrast. After that I did another drybrush of leadbelcher and a final one of Stormhost Silver. Fairly simple.The armour here is something I'm rather proud of.

The yellow is diliberate not too bright for a couple of reasons. First off, I like a certain drabness to even bright colours for warrior minis. If I were going to ever paint Imperial Fists I would probably pick the same colour. Secondly, the coat of arms is described as representing an autumn field, and that is a slightly more brown tone.The yellow is diliberate not too bright for a couple of reasons.

I did think of attempting some blood splatter...but I decided that he would clean the blood off after a fight, so he'd be clean when he started the next one. Leaving blood on metal is not the best idea for the metal.I did think of attempting some blood splatter...but I decided that he would clean the blood off after a fight, so he'd be clean when he started the next one.

I don't know if foot on rock is better or worse than two feet on rock...but there's not much option with this chap, and I don't want to be the one to tell him to get down from there, do you?I don't know if foot on rock is better or worse than two feet on rock...but there's not much option with this chap, and I don't want to be the one to tell him to get down from there, do you?
