Last Lannister - a least for a while

 We're packing up to move so it may be a while before I get anything back off the table, so here is my last contribution of the ASOIAF project, the Kingsguard featuring that ripe little shit Joffry Baratheon beside big brother Jaime.

And now for the Starks

 I have continued working on these lovely ASOIAF models - completing my Stark army:

Collection so far:

ASOIAF Lannister Army

Last week I finished off my Lannisters:

Then did a two boxes of Neutrals - heroes (incl Varys and Petyr Baelish) and the oh so intimidating Bolton Flayed Men:

ASOIAF Halbardiers and the Mountain's Men

Just finished off the Lannister half of the starter box along with the Lannister Heroes 1 box. These are great models, really enjoyed painting them with a mix of Citadel contrast and Vallejo highlights. I think Cersei is my favourite - and she's a formidable NCU in the game.

And next comes something completely different ... ASOIAF

 Towards the end of January I finished off my Mantic stuff including Clansmen:

Scarecrows:

Spectres:

A Reaper Bones model who will work as the Ice Queen:

And a unit of Arctic fox chaff:

Then for my birthday, I plunged into A Song of Ice and Fire by Cmon games. I have been admiring the miniatures and after watching a bunch of battle reports and reading reviews, the game sounds very good. So, I picked up the Starter and here is my first unit of Lannister guardsmen:

 

More fun with contrast paints ... and welcome 2021

I have been fairly busy hobbying but unmotivated to post - not sure why that is. I find it useful to keep track of projects here and to occasionally share and hear from co-hobbyists. Somehow COVID makes everything a chore!

Anyhow - here is the assortment of stuff I have done over the past few weeks including the holidays. Almost everything done with contrast paints as I test them out:

More Mantic Clansmen:

Mantic Scarecrows:

Mantic Spectres:

Reaper townies

Assorted Reaper adventure figures:

Reaper big orcs and a bat covered tombstone:

Mantic Snow Trolls:

GW Dwarves

A Reaper worm

Mantic Butchers:

Mantic assorted Nightstalker figs:

I now have about a dozen or so contrast shades and have experimented with mixing them to get some of the intermediate shades for the Nightstalkers. I think they work pretty well on figs that have a lot of rough textures, not so great on smooth surfaces.
