House Lannister Knight & Warhorse [Completed]

With freehand paintings of the House Lannister heraldry completed, my first Game of Thrones knight on a warhorse miniature is now done. This project contained seven freehand paintings of the heraldry, which was insane from my point of view seeing that my only prior experience was to paint chequered designs on a Bad Moonz ork's weapons. But I am certainly glad I threw myself into the deep end as it has given me the confidence to attempt more complicated freehand designs of other Houses found in the continent of Westeros, the main world where George R.R. Martin's characters play out their fate.

An alternative option would be to paint the cloth on the knight's helmet yellow

Using freehand over decals was to me key in making this mini project stand out. Then again, the choice is largely out of my hands as the existing decals found in the plastic model kit, which is the Warhammer Bretonnian Knights, are not suitable for use to represent the various Houses found in the Game of Thrones world. Some such as the dragon and lion could perhaps be used but having some miniatures with decals while others have freehand paintings would look odd in my opinion.

Even after all these years, the Bretonnian sculpture looks awesome 

This Bretonnian Knight miniature conversion project marks the first of eight (for now) that will be used to represent the many Houses found in the imaginary Game of Thrones world of Westeros. Next up will be House Clegane, a close ally, or more accurately, the hatchet men of House Lannister.

Continuing my experimentation with videos, I shot a short video displaying the House Lannister Knight in 360 degrees. As I am still new to taking videos of miniatures, the colours came out a tad darker than expected. At the very least, it gives a better all round view of the miniature concerned.

Thanks for checking out the latest painted miniature of my ongoing Game of Thrones project. Although the Lannister Knight was a tough challenge for me, I had fun doing it. And I am really looking forward to more freehand madness in the miniatures to come.
