Foehammer’s A Song of Ice and Fire
Just a taste
So, like many people these days, I’m a big fan of the HBO Game of Thones series. When I noticed the kickstarter for the A Song of Ice and Fire game ~1 year ago, my interest was peaked, but I’ve back a lot of KS, only to have trouble getting a local gaming group together.
Fast forward a year or so, and the stuff hits retail. A small group at my local shop, including one of my good friends, get into it. I take him up on an offer to get a demo game in, and I really like it. A lot of the gameplay of old school Warhammer Fantasy Battles, but faster and less clunky. Miniatures aren’t over-the-moon quality, but are still very good for pre-assembled figs.
I decide to think on it for a while. I’m not sure I want to get into another game. Also, I’m a hobbiest more than a gamer, and pre-assembled IP-figs don’t easily allow for the level of conversion and personalization work I like to include in my games. However, the boxes are ~$30 for units, so I decide to pick up the Lannister character set to try painting. It has several of my favorite characters: Tyrion, Tywin, the Hound.
Images of these initially painted figs are included below. I must say I really enjoyed painting these figs, the details were fairly good, and the red coloration was a divergence from my usual color pallet.
