And on the miniature front, here's a beautiful new painted version of the Maid of Tarth. The figure was sculpted by the incomparable Tom Meier, and painted by the fabulous Marike Reimer.

Brienne is also available in a version w/ helm. She... and the rest of the Ice and Fire miniatures... is available from the OnLine store at http://darkswordminiatures.com/

I love brienne...she makes the best of what she's got and is beautiful on the inside just like we all should be. Most of the miniatures so far have been excellent, but I'm thinking that darksword needs to redo Brienne.
Tom Meier, who sculpted this one, is one of the top sculptors in the business and regularly discusses proportions of miniatures in relation to real life people on his blog. It makes interesting reading. :)
The sculpture looks like the hips are as wide as the ribcage. Also, the thighs are not thick enough for the upper torso...I would expect Brienne to have slightly thicker thighs than hips even. I think Tom tried to make Brienne look like a man instead of a monster...which is what I felt that George was going for...not that Brienne looked like a man, but that her shape was distorted from what a woman or man should be.
Well...I'm not going to like all the miniatures, so this must be one of them.
