Yes MABO, indeed I had actually seen your creations long ago , which were surely an inspiration for me also at the beggining, as well as other forum members ideas (I also found the same Jon Snow and Jaime lAnnister which I used!)
I just checked those older Game of Thrones entries and I funnily realize that I took the same Redbox medieval irish and Caesar poses for several Stark troop types as you!!! You should reactivate the projecto some day
Answering to your question:
1)Many are indeed conversions as all the following:
JAIME LANNISTER: Caesar adventurer (a little taller after increasing legs)
JON SNOW: Caesar adventurer (a little taller after increasing legs)
YGRITTE: ELF ARCHER figure from Boardgame "wAR OF THE rING", ears cut and some fur added
ARYA: body from revell normal + head from fantasy 15mm demonworld range
HODOR (body made from Games workshop mordor orcs parts + head from Zvezda mediaval peasant)
BRAN: Body is bad copy from Airfix french cuiassiers+head from Hat andalusian archer)
BRIENNE: Body from Miniart italian knight + italeri young gaul head (didn choose the available mounted version form Italeri Jean dArc
)
LITTLEFINGER. Converted from an strelets streltsi+norman head
VARYS: adapted Body from Linear A people of judah + strelets fat saxon head
OSHA: Body from redbox russian fighting monk + again head from young italeri gaul (quite good for androgine men-women types as you see..)
GREATJON UMBER: Body form a 28mm viking+head form an orion slav+paper tissue cloak
TYWIN LANNISTER: mounted body dfrom Henry V Italeri knights + head from zvezda peasant
NIGHT KING: Body from Orion byzantine general + very handcrafted head orignally from a 15mm Goblin
2) Not conversions (or just very small adptations) :
THE HOUND, CERSEI LANNISTER, TYRION LANNISTER, NED STARK, ROBB STARK
All original figure form Caesar Minknight "game of thrones" set, not a bad set at all in my opinion although they looked a little odd ath the begginng ...Some of them ressemble much the TV actors after painting
CATELYN STARK. metal 25mm fig form "Mega Miniatures /turnkey miniatures"
SANSA STARK: metal 25mm fig form "Thunderbolt mountain miniatures2 (sadly discontinued production klas year)
MELISSANDRE: Caesar female Vampire with appropiate "red" painting
WOLVES SUMMER, GHOST AND GREYWID. original Ral Partha 28mm different wolves still available at their online shop
Troops:
STARK SWORDSMEN: Some Caesar foot XIII c knights and foot crusaders, and also some italeri crusaders and norman to make the numbers
UMBER BERSERKERS: some strelets vikings, and orion slavs with some conversion here and there
STARK HORSEMEN: direclty taken from REDBOX Scurrers and Scottish light Cav (perfect for the job!)
STARK BOWMEN: CAesar foot XIII soldiers+ Redbox scottish
SOME CHARAHCTERS, STANDARD BEARER AND STARK GREAT AXES: Redbox irish
LANNISTER SWORDSMEN: Caesar foot XIIII soldiers+ XIII foot knights+ XV c knights +redbox menatarms and retinue, plus revell knights to make the numbers
LANNISTER HELBARDIERS: Redbox Men At arms and retinue
