Now we all have bemoaned GW prices at one time or another but take a look at these prices for models based on a song of ice and fire https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/823962857/dark-sword-miniatures-grrm-masterworks-major-line?ref=48hr

and honestly they are not the best sculpts :/

They aren't that great, we've discussed the issues of cost and other hobbies before

I know it's been discussed but it's interesting how the license of the hobbit and game of thrones have such a different inflationary effect on the models.

I would have thought that the GoT models would have been relatively cheap, after all they have very little need for concept, they just recreate the on-screen representations.

That's a bit harsh. They look a little boring but no where near garbage.

Wow! Some of those models are incredible! The John Snow and Cercie models really speak to me! I'd like to add noth of them to an Empire army!

the models themselves dont look so bad i just cant see myself playing either of these games, maybe a cool diorama if im ever loaded rich and arent busy trying to build and then update all my current armies

I'm really impressed with the paint on Cersei Lannister here. http://www.darkswordminiatures.com/shop/index.php/miniatures/george-r-r-martin-masterworks/cersei-lannister.html

The sculpt and the paint job are both superb. It's hard to believe that I am looking at a 28mm model!

I'm just sayin', we've started an Infinity escalation league and I've already picked up the equivalent of roughly 2500pts of models for less than $200, and the game is frikin' awesome. Pick up a few more random guys to round out my unit choices, and I'll have most of what I could ever want.

Only in the UK, though, interestingly enough. Maybe mainland Europe, too. But essentially no one plays it anywhere else, in the grand scheme of things. US sales for it are terrible.
