when i was a young teen and read ADWD back in 2014 my early gay heart was captivated by the tragedy of joncon’s love for rhaegar, but the wait for TWOW has been so long that i’ve had enough time to copy joncon myself and go through the same process of spending years obsessing over a twink friend who ultimately turned out to be straight. by the time it’s published i will probably be raising his son

Blackheart, his men had named him, for the sigil on his shield. Myles had loved the name and all it hinted at. "A captain-general should be feared, by friend and foe alike," he had once confessed. "If men think me cruel, so much the better." - The Lost Lord, aDwD

The War of the Ninepenny Kings

"So they called it, though I never saw a king, nor earned a penny. It was a war, though. That it was."

Another little Golden Company diorama! The Ninepenny Kings is an interesting conflict in the story - we already have the Great Offscreen War trope covered by Robert's Rebellion, and then Ninepenny Kings is the greater, offscreener, war. I always thought it's analogue was WW2, or at least the popular perception of it, as "the last great war" where the Westerosi greatest generation were united against an obvious Other (no pun intended).

The centrepiece is Barristan leading his triumphant charge against Maelys. Even though its described as very much a lone charge, I thought it would be fun to include some notables - Lord Reyne, the Red Lion, and a young Blackfish. I had a devil of a time with all three actually - Lord Reyne was going to be Tywin, I'd started the Blackfish as, well, black, until I realised this was before he took that title, and only after finishing Barristan I realised he wasn't yet a Kingsguard.

On the opposing side we have Myles Toyne as Maelys' bannerman, and a cool Dothraki looking guy. Steve Dothraki.

The basing was largely inspired by HotD's portrayal of the stepstones, I loved that brutal messy drawn-out slog through the sand.

"A captain-general should be feared, by friend and foe alike," he had once confessed. "If men think me cruel, so much the better." The truth was otherwise. Soldier to the bone, Toyne was fierce but always fair, a father to his men and always generous to the exile lord Jon Connington.

Happy Velaryontine's Day to @mylestoyne! Have a bit of Battle of the Bells manipulation :)

28mm A Song of Ice and Fire: Maelys Blackfyre

Continuing Sellsword Summer, as a follow-up to the Golden Company unit I've decided to do something for Maelys Monday!  Rewinding a full 40 years before the start of the main series, I've put together a figure to represent Maelys Blackfyre, the last of the Blackfyre pretenders, was killed by Barristan Selmy during the War of the Ninepenny Kings. He's a claimant to the Iron Throne and captain general of The Golden Company (by virtue of twisting the head off his cousin to take control of it), which makes him a serious threat to House Targaryen's rule

Famously, Maelys had a small second head on his throat, and, probably having gigantism, was physically huge. So to get that size across, I've used a Warhammer Chaos Warrior as the base for the figure, on account of how much larger they are than the historical ranges I normally use

As a descendant of the Targaryens, I've given Maelys the silver-gold hair, and purple eyes of the family. Here's a slightly closer view of Blackfyre and its scabbard. Being the ancestral Valyrian Steel sword of House Targaryen passed down from all the kings since Aegon I, I've painted the scabbard in Targaryen black and red, with rubies down the length of it.

For the sword itself, given that Valyrian steel is basically magical Damascus Steel in-universe, I've tried to give it a rippled Damascus-y look and the dark grey coloration that Valyrian Steel is usually described as.

And a view of Maelys' cloak. I've given him a gold skull tied to his cloak to represent his cousin Daemon (given that Maelys pulled his head off). I feel like even though Maelys killed him and took over his sellsword company, he'd still feel a little bit of obligation, as a fellow Blackfyre, to take Daemon back to Westeros with him

And here is King Maelys I with his royal squire (and later captain-general of the Golden Company), a tiny teenage Myles Toyne.

I’m fully on board with @mylestoyne​ ‘s theory that Myles was with Maelys on the Stepstones, and I feel like in response to the ableism that Maelys would likely have faced since birth, he would put a very deliberate emphasis on his name, status and lineage to try to draw attention to his legitimacy and his claim. (Partly as a parallel to Tyrion, and the ableism he faces in the story, and has internalized)

So to reinforce that, he's styling himself as King Maelys I, carrying Aegon I’s sword Blackfyre, and taking a squire from a famous Westerosi noble house. His armour and cloak are painted in red-and-black dragon colours, with gold accenting, and a gold skull on the breastplate to highlight his rank and status in the Golden Company

Hopefully he’s come out ok! I’ll put up a separate post to showcase Myles a bit more to show the details a bit better there

Barristan Selmy had known many kings. He had been born during the troubled reign of Aegon the Unlikely, beloved by the common folk, had received his knighthood at his hands. Aegon's son Jaehaerys had bestowed the white cloak on him when he was three-and-twenty, after he slew Maelys the Monstrous during the War of the Ninepenny Kings. In that same cloak he had stood beside the Iron Throne as madness consumed Jaehaerys's son Aerys. Stood, and saw, and heard, and yet did nothing.

But no. That was not fair. He did his duty. Some nights, Ser Barristan wondered if he had not done that duty too well.

Ser Myles Toyne, The Blackheart

"A captain-general should be feared, by friend and foe alike. If men think me cruel, so much the better."

What is there to say about Myles Toyne that hasn't already been said a hundred times better by @mylestoyne ? I absolutely love the observation that Myles is a classic GRRM double twist, where first he's a scary mercenary captain called the blackheart, then you learn he has hidden depths and the incredibly romantic quote about being ugly as sin but "when he smiled at you, though, none of that mattered"... and then you learn he's been manipulating Jon and gives a motivational speech that boils down to "commit more war crimes, you coward".

For a character who died before the series starts, Myles has some of the most specific character descriptions. Miniatures tend not to be ugly, or to be ugly in specific and quite idealised ways, so I had a nightmare of a time finding anything approaching "jug ears, a crooked jaw, and the biggest nose that Jon Connington had ever seen". That said, I'm pretty happy with the head I found, it's actually a tiny bit too big for the miniature, but I think that helps him look kind of squat and broad featured. I gave the ears about 3 more layers of highlights than any other feature to make them stand out more. I love the moustache for him, and the cossack hair style helps him look a bit rogueish while also having the vibe of an ageing man fitting in with younger mercenaries. Finally, the black on gold versions of sigils is taken straight from @mylestoyne and I love it for the winged heart.
