Ygritte and Jon Snow


Last days I worked really a lot, but all production is a mess on my painting table, many finished figures mixed with unfinished,  and everything very dificcult to see.. storage will be a nightmare as well..
However I can not help posting anything here.. I am back with Game of Thrones Again (but in the menawhile also a big "tolkien" show is coming, for next days :)) ...

We move to the far North beyond the Wall, and we find Jon Snow after leaving the Night  Watch(just temorarily) and meeting wildling redheaded beauty warrior Ygritte who will become much more than friend, enemy and lover alltogether.....

I converted a littel my original Jon Snow (Caesar advenutrer is nice but somerather small.. I have to increase his legs!.) and then I wondered which fig would suit the girl..
The elven archers from boardgame "War of The ring" look reasonably femenine and hair is familiar to Ygiritte in some scenes of the TV show...
Problems:
 they are very tall
 the have peaky ears
Their clothes are too elvish to look as savage-wild-kindofskimo hunter people..

Well, these kind of "problems" are my favourite hobby :)

Hope you like the converison results.. I added the original model figures as comparison, and a little scene of both chachracter surrounded by the army of the Dead (White Walkers have to wait.. just for some days or weeks---)

pS-The white wolf "Ghost" is also still missing, i painted one prototype but he was just a big dog.. i shpuld take a bigger wolf or warg from the selection I made for my glblin army , an the,, oh my god too many ideas and less time to do them all!"!!!!!..)







Ygrotte- left converted, roght original elf// Jon left converted, right original caesar figure

Some orcs more, and elven reinforcements


After two productive nights I completed some orcs more (mixture from gameboards "War of The Ring" and "Descent" with simple but effective figures pretty close to 1/72)
A bigger orc or troll is added to the party, as well as a wolf rider which is a nice figure...

They look just a little looting party or orc bandits...




This raiding party is reached by an small but strong and armoured elven Force! Caesar fig  really just for size comparison..



Here you can see my additions to the little elf team I am also making,,

Some heavy knights with two heavy horse-archers (mixture form severla gamepieces, includign again "Wra of The ring" and Arcane Legions",  and a 15mm conversion for the bareheaded prince Athanariel who was painted last year.. ) , and some foot knights recruited among Caesar adventurers and Strelets old set of vikings Vs franks...
  
For me honestly it is the shield designs what saves the group...

I realize I must improve much in painting horses.. some tip here around??

Back to brushes...

Hello all, summer was quite long in Spain.. Still 25ºC today...

I needed much mind strength to come back to workshop, but here my last creations:
Fisrt More greenskins for my slowly-growing horde..

Goblins (many different 15mm orcs broguth to service as 1/72 goblins!) , general orcs (mix form plastic allliance and GW moria orcs, and more..) and some savage almost-nude  orc grunts, obviously from Caesar original set.. Warpaints are a must fot these!!!

More greenksins to come in next days...







And  second: I  finished a nice figure which was lying for months by me..

This case I moved again to Game of Thrones Universe... let me introduce Lord Tywin Lannister, senior lord of House Lannister of Casterly Rock, father of Jaime and Cersei and Hand of the King for Two Times

Some inspiration pics.. He is supposed to be tall, imposing presence, bald..
 In battle he wears some red or coloured armour.. I love the look of TV series in theis picture, and the role played by actor Charles Dance is awesome...



Here my first result in figures before finishing..






And final version after adding dome much valuable golden details!! A Houshold knight is next to him, as well as Ser Jaime on foot.,

do you guess From which bodies did I construct the figure of Tywin from???
