A Song of Ice and Paint week 5 (2021 week 48)

This week we finish off this enormous batch with Sworn Brothers which, like last week's offering, they're part of the Night Watch which I'm sure means something to Game of Thrones fans.

I like these figs. They have nice, dynamic poses, and not super difficult sculpts to paint though their fur linings are kind of a pain. Many of them have the same wide poses as last week's guys so they're mostly on big 35mm bases, too. The nice thing about bigger bases is there's more space to put random junk on but they don't play as well even though my game requires 2" hexes.

A thing I don't like about these figs is that they're gigantic. The Mountain's Men from week 46 were also big and these guys are nearly as tall. They stick out among my normal 25mm and 28mm figs in a not great way. They've also got a lot of details which took extra time to paint. 

These two sets were 25 figs done in just over 31 hours so slightly less fast than the first batch. This is mainly due to my screwing up of their cloaks and their overall level of details. Like last week, I think these figs can hold a better paint job than the one I did and also like last week, I think they work fine. 

2021 finished mini counter: 332/100
