I like this idea. I assume that's a 50mm front and 100mm deep?

Yup. 50mm frontage and 100mm depth, cause you don't want the mammoth facing the enemy sideways.

Come to think of it...I think the Ogre list has mammoth warbeast as well. Same base size. So there you go...collect an Ogre army

Looking forward to this. I havn't started painting yet but hopefully I will get time to take part. I have a big project for a display board for masters this year aswell as the couple of units I need to paint.

I have 32 conquest Norman knights that I need to put together and paint for this :/

Start of my Cavalry. Decided to go for a Lannister Bannerman - House Clegane

Lesson learnt from this morning: painting horses is such a pain.

Great work man. Are you going to get some dog transfers?

And yeah, horses are a pain. They're better when they're like the above and covered in barding.

Awesome work Neil, I like your idea of using a Clegane host for the Lannisters a lot. That will be really cool, except the bit where Genestealer Clegane cleaves one of my Knights of the Vale into two poorly-matching pieces. Now that I am back in Perth for a few days I hope to re-start my own efforts in assembling more units for House Arryn of Gulltown.

As an aside I travelled through Ulaanbaatar recently (home of the Great Khans and their mounted, bow-shooting Mongolian supermen from the 12th and 13th Centuries). There is a fantastic monument to the Khans in the centre of town that has some absolutely superb statues of old Chinggis, and some of his really scary-looking buddies that I found tremendously inspiring. Got me thinking that I'd really like to model some of these guys in the near future. I reckon that a box of Fireforge Mongol Cavalry and a box of Steppe Warriors might be in the shopping basket sometime soon! Here are some cool pics of the Mongolian Cavalry monuments that show how awesome these look up close.

Thanks for the kind words Taubad!

House Clegane Banner Bearer

Looking really good Neil, where'd you get the banner from?

And are they the Fireforge Templar knights?

Yup they are Fireforge knights. I got the banners from here: http://www.schildschmie.de/

He also does shield decals and stuff. Then banners you can download for free and print out.

They look great, particularly the bloke with the banner. Thanks for the link for the shield and banner decals, much appreciated.

Are you looking forward to the historical expansion then Taubad?

Absolutely - a historical massed battle expansion sounds like way too much fun to me. I'm going to base my Lion Rampant minis in a way that allows me to retrofit them onto a KoW Regimental movement tray. So I'll have a dual purpose historical force at the end of the LoIaF League.

More Starks are coming... right now



Put a bit of green in these guys, makes them a little more interesting I think.

I'm going to paint these in groups of six, so these five join the test model (who's base I no longer like and have to redo) as the first half of the serjeants unit. Going to do a unit of archers next, I'm thinking of doing them a mix of Tallhart (green) and Hornwood (orange) troops.

They look awesome Peter!! I love the green you have added, it makes them pop in a subtle and typically understated Starkish way. Great work as usual. Bases look very nice too.
