Game of Thrones - Kickstarter Arrived + Other Updates

(A bit all over the place today ...)

Just a quick update.  I came home from work today and found to large boxes on my doorstep from CMON - my "Song of Ice and Fire" Kickstarter arrived!

I immediately ran in the house like an excited 8 year old.

Two healthy sized armies ... with some nasty Bolton's to boot!


I have to say, upon close up inspection, the models are very nice.  No assembly required, all the bits are straight, and they are already on a base.  Details are good as well.  Robb Stark model below ...


For size comparison, I took some Lannister Halberdiers and stuck them beside some Blood Bowl Chaos players (they were the most handy figures nearby).


Speaking off ... here is a quick pic of the latest Blood Bowl team for the collection ... Chaos chosen.


And, I'm working on two more ships (one French and one Spanish) ... getting there ... hope to have these done on the weekend.


Getting back into a good pace with the hobby stuff ...

    I don't watch kickstarter close enough to find these great deals. Looks like a lot of fun will be had.

      Yeah, KS is hit and miss, but CMON has a great reputation. Having had more time to sift through it all and read the rules I have to say I'm really impressed with the game and the minis.

    Looking forward to hearing how it plays.
    Cheers

      Yes sir, plus some extras ... wanted eight units per side to start with a similar point value. Right now the two armies are 60 points which is their "large" sized game.

    It's an excellent game and the figures are very good, I certainly couldn't hide the delivery when I arrived home with my wife.
    Two huge boxes left in the porch!
