Twenty weeks, twenty figures, up to twenty winners of George R.R. Martin goodness! These are GRRM approved renditions of characters from his A Song of Ice and Fire series produced by the people hand-picked by the man himself. The winner of the second drawing for the Loras Tyrell figure will be announced tomorrow - you still have time to enter!

Who is Dark Sword Miniatures?

Dark Sword Miniatures Inc. was founded with the single purpose of creating extremely detailed fantasy miniatures for both miniature collectors and gamers alike. Our pewter fantasy miniatures are in the newer 28mm to 30mm scale which has become the industry standard. Our first four fantasy miniature lines are based on the artwork of famed Dungeons and Dragons and cover artists Larry Elmore, Keith Parkinson (RIP), Clyde Caldwell & Jeff Easley. All four artists have been gaming industry icons for the past 25 years now and their artwork needs no introduction. In addition, Dark Sword Miniatures is also producing premium pewter miniatures based on the works of New York Times best-selling author George R.R. Martin. Our working together with Mr. Martin came about after he noticed the attention to detail and realistic proportions/weapons our miniatures have. Tom Meier, Dennis Mize (RIP), Jeff Grace, Dave Summers and Gael Goumon sculpt our multiple award winning miniature lines. www.DarkSwordMiniatures.com

This week we are presenting Sandor Clegane (aka the Hound!). Note that these come unpainted you will have to do that part yourself!

Some notes regarding the figure:

There will be three different versions of the Hound’s head in this blister pack: helmet on with visor down, helmet on with visor up, and helmet off. This way, people can choose their favorite look for Sandor or simply have multiple versions in their collections

Tom really is working on showcasing the different sizes of each character for this line. The Hound is around 6 feet 6 inches tall and pretty imposing

These were sculpted by Tom Meier!

Check out the helmet!
