Painting a Nurgle princess

I won this model either for judging a painting competition or heading a paint-your-first-mini type event at The Guild Hall. Either case, thanks to Novac Dawn for the amazing model! She's supposed to be some sort of swamp witch - but all I can see is a delightfully chaotic nurgle-type model. I painted her as such.

17th Battle of Cluswar: A Song Of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game tournament

Tiny local tournament: giants edition. Everybody knew I was bringing giants, because of course I was, got to try it when my army has OP crap for the first time in history. And so everybody brought one regular list, and one tailored against giants. Also: highlander rules for units, attachments can be brought in multiples.

Game 1 vs Lannisters: who are really, really sick of fighting mythical monsters

Game 2 vs Greyjoys: precision from the back

Game 3 vs Baratheons: who just never die

Still managed a 3-0, giants are OP, and I'm completely fine with that.

Game 3: Giants vs Baratheons

Final game against the Baratheons in The Winds of Winter. Mission cards again, so I was confident. I now knew that, for the first time, I could send a unit out up front and it would hold - for a while. So, giants again.

Game 2: Giants vs Greyjoys

The second game against my old opponent: Dark Wings, Dark Words. I love objective card based games; EndRush, not so much. I made sure to manipulate the cards as much as possible.

Game 1: Giants vs Lannisters

5 objectives in Honed and Ready, but plenty of BS on the other side, including Kingsguard, Honour Guard, lance cavalry. I decided to skip dancing around with the zoo and try out the giants.
