Miniature World of Ice and Fire

I have made a start on my Baratheon Sentinels. The addition of the cloaks threw my timing off some what, as I got bogged down with blending cloaks – even aiming for a table top level this was such a time sink.

I decided to prep the remaining Stag Knights and Wardens and separate the Sentinels into batches of 4, before I lose the will. The Stags and Wardens should paint up quickly being mostly armour with a bit of green. So the aim is to smash out the Wardens, then 4 Sentinels, then Stag Knights, then 4 Sentinels…..best laid plans and all that!!

I’m enjoying my first day of annual leave with lots of painting, so I have managed to finish a Warlock of Qarth. I also have a privateer character I finished weeks ago that I will use for this project. Not sure where the conquistador fellow is from in the world, I’ll think on that. Both miniatures are from the Conan board game that I picked up for the miniatures for £30 (French version).

I messed up the Conquistadors face so many times I decided he was just going to be wearing a metal mask……what is hiding beneath?

Notice the mould line I forgot to remove?

I have a lot to work through, so I’ve smashed out this unit with a fairly simple scheme. Feels great to get a whole unit done. I think for future Baratheon units I’ll go with a green scheme. I do prefer the yellow but for the sake of speed, I feel the green is the way to go. Next I aim to paint a miniature from the Conan board game and use it for a Warlock of Qarth.

As in the description, I’m building The World of Ice and Fire. The plan is to mainly use the CMON miniatures, but I’m going to use other companies for aspects of the world which may not get minis. IE Sothoryos.

I begin in the Stormlands with some Baratheon Wardens.

PS. I am looking for a rule set for solo dungeon crawling in this setting. Something that can be re-skinned to suit. My initial thought was “Song of Gold and Darkness”. If anyone has some suggestions for a relatively simple rules set that will fit, I’m all ears. Thanks!
