I just received my GRRM miniatures and I'm not disappointed. These minis are some of the finest Tom Meier has sculpted. When will phase two be out?

:) **** i cant wait to get mine... but i guess it will take a week longer to get the miniatures in europe.

Good deal Ken. You were the first person to get your order in.

Everyone - Be sure to check the bottom of the box for your certificates (if you were one of the first 99 to get your order in).

There is a white sticker calling out the fact that the certificate is between two pieces of protective cardboard.

Cheers,

I got mine yesterday too! They are fantastic! This is my first experience with minitures and I can't believe these little guys (and gals) can really be painted so intricately and in such detail. Seems nearly impossible; for me anyway!

My big dilemma now is ordering the paints. Can anyone guide me on exactly what colors and shades I should order for these miniatures? The professionally painted miniatures look great but I can't tell what colors and/or shades were used.

Well, I hope everyone else enjoys their miniatures as much as I do.

Regards

I got mine on Friday too. I've already got Jon Snow almost finished (and everyone else assembled, yay for 5 minute epoxy!), take a look here:

Of course, he isn't completely done yet (not to mention Matt's version is far prettier!), and I've found some stuff I have to clean up (nothing like seeing your minis 3-4X life size to find ALL the flaws!). I'm going to put some snow on the base after I seal him (if it EVER stops raining so I can! I also can't start on another one until it stop raining so I can prime :()

For the person asking about paints, my favorite is the Reaper Master series. Most of the paints I used on this mini were from that line. I used the Black, White and grey triad for the black and the fur on the cloak. The tanned flesh triad for the skin. I used Walnut brown, Golden Brown and Muddy brown for the hair. The metallics are mostly Games Workshop's silvers (Chainmail and Mithril mostly), though I also used Vallejo oily steel, often mixed with black.

Hi everyone -

Cool deal on the sets showing up safe and sound.

In regards to the question on paints.

Reaper Master Series is the way to go. Their Triad System is amazing and Anne Foerster from Reaper put alot of time and effort into this new paint line.

You could also use Vallejo Model or Game series paints as they are right up there with the Reaper Master Series.

Cheers everyone.
