More Unsullied and Héroes for Daenerys
Hi, I had no Big advances in any project last days...energy is low.. But I progressed a little with the Targaryen forces for Game of Thrones /Song of Ice and Fire
As I received last purchases including the Dark Alliance "eastern tribes" a.k.a Middle Earth easterlings, I gave them a Chance as reinforcements for the Unsullied eunuch Pikemen of Queen Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, the Unburnt, etc etc
I took Two of them as sample and included them with the second Unit I am creating of these soldiers (mostly converted atlántic/Nexus greeks . Not disapointed with resuls I have. The Dark colour , round hoplite shields and Spears make all the visual job actually.
More to be added Soon (the goal is to have four infantry Units of 12 men each)
I also have to finish a Mounted versión of Knight Ser Jorah Mormont (loyal and traitor to her loved Daenerys at same time) and old Knight Ser Barristan Selmy, former member of the Royal Guard , who later Joined the Cause of Daenerys)
Do you recognise original figures for these both charachters?

BLOOD AND FIRE-Mother of Dragons-actualization 2019
Hello , watching of last TV episodes motivated me so much for finishing the sub-project of the powerful children of Daenerys at home, in form of 1/72 dragons!!
This is the result of both Dragons: Rhaegal (green) and Drogon black-red) , in the company of Deanerys, Jon Snow and some Targaryen forces (including concellor and friend Missandei)
Hope to find some brave fight with them against several enemies of the Queen!!
SPOILER ALERT
My Third dragon (Viserion) must be done in two version: golden as still alive with her Mother-Queen and , "pale" as undead and part of the Army of the Dead.. That wilL be next chapter

GAME OF THRONES- UNSULLIED SPEARMEN
As the 8th and final Season of the TV show is going on, and after the Battle of Winterfell,
I found I had to made some efforts in the army of Daenerys Targaryen ..
I chose an easy concept of the freed former slave eunuch spearmen from Astapor .. W
hat do the unsullied in the show look as, regarding their equipment/tactic..? --> greek hoplites!!
I took some old Nexus/Atklantic greeks and made a small, low-risk conversion on the helmet, adding spears (as actual greek should have!) and just painting work..
Result is not brilliant but they make the part.. In big formations it will look fine!!

"Fun with Flags"
Well, I enjoy watching Bing Bang Theory again and again, but I really meant I had fun making my own paper flags and banners for my slowly developing armies..
I downloaded several jpg and pdf files here and there, and then making some tests of preparing some standing and horse figures for them
I really enjoyed making this. and it is cheap... You dont need really to find "1/72 scale" files, but almost any image is good for the job,, I even took photographies of real 1:1 cloth banners. Then adjusting size with MS Word, and teasiliy printing and gluing (gluing to the poles is however a little tricky..)
As you see, I focused (once again) on Tolkiens Middle Earth fantasy, and Game of Thrones GRR Martin Universe, but also some generic orc, dwarf and elf fantasy banners are ready :)
And as my imagimation was excited just one day ago by a conversation with gentlemen Philotep and Sprinks on Wronghammer forum , for a horse standard bearer I prepared a pair of Rohan riders
http://wronghammer.blogspot.com.es/2018/01/how-do-you-eat-elephant.html#comment-form
The figures are metal Tumlbing Dice- Military order Brethren Brothers (that is, Militry order Knights, as Templars for instamnce)
I had bought them for Nazgul because of those nice cloaks with hood, (specially those with closed or semi-closed helmets) but I had a surplus of them with more simple helmets which I found suitable for.. Rohirrim! Of course only after a painting work with good green and brown here and there
Result is good, although at the end they still ressemble much an european medieval knight, more than I hoped.. Good, there are still many figures whcuich I should test next (goths, vikings, saxons: Mail,beards and round shields must be there)
Going back to the standards: This example I liked, thats why I made so many pics.
On of the last one you see also a new Uruk standard bearer (you know maybe where is he coming from?) with also a paper-printed Isengard flag
And at last for today: I went also a small step forward with Game of Thrones. here you see my painted Gregor Clegane "Mountain that Rides" next to Queen Cersei Lannister, and my "casting" of Sansa Stark next to his father and older brother Robb-not finished-
(Actually I did not cast any metal figure, I mean just the selection.. I purchased her by "Thunderbolt Mountain" figures, 25mm medieval range, and she resulted happily to be very beautiful and 1/72 compatible.. (I purchased some other foot and mounted damsels too, have a look here http://bennosfiguresforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21184)
