“Aegon saw that three hundred years ago when he stood where we are standing. They painted this table at his command. Rivers and bays they painted, hills and mountains, castles and cities and market towns, lakes and swamps and forests ... but no borders. It is all one. One realm, for one king to rule alone."
- George R.R. Martin, a Storm of Swords

One month ago, we announced the Battles of Westeros Painting Contest, an opportunity for miniatures painting enthusiasts around the world to submit their handiwork for a chance to win exciting prizes. The number of submissions from excited fans exceeded our expectations, as dozens of stunningly painted entries flooded in over the subsequent weeks.

A difficult decision

Our panel of judges had a difficult decision before them, but after painstakingly narrowing the entries to a few final contenders, they ultimately decided on the work of James Brown.

James painted Sandor Clegane leading a force of House Brax pikemen. Commenting that James’ work went “above and beyond,” our judges were particularly impressed by his attention to detail. Down to the dents in his war-torn shield and the burns on his scarred face, The Hound was brought vividly to life by James’ skilled hand.

Our winner will receive one copy of every Battles of Westeros release to date, including the new Tribes of the Vale expansion! Congratulations to James, and thanks to everyone who participated!
