WeirwoodTreeHugger Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm too lazy to get the link, but yes it was on his not a blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsc Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 After seeing that monstrosity the show's Iron Throne just looks weaksauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Targaryen Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It does make sense. The one in the show looks like it was made with a little under 100 swords, while in the book, it's made with over a thousand blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binga Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I wonder how much money it would cost to construct that monstrosity. It is pretty damn cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 well the artwork on the old Version of the book wasn't close either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegonSnow Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 It actually looks like a pile of swords that a dragon breathed fire on, and with a few hammers, beat it into a rough throne shape. the HBO throne is nice, but too clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binga Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 This is my favorite version of the throne. The swords are longer but I like the look of it better. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18td2vk1gbbxzjpg/ku-xlarge.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of Winter Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Does that look like it has more than a thousand swords? It does to me. Not that its a big deal or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheagar Prime Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 so true thats what it should look like would make LF dialogue in the series irrelavant since he said its not even 200 blades sigh so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prince of Ice Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Much better in my opinion than the HBO made version. It really shows the power of the Targs when they first came to power.The throne being that much bigger shows that obviously. That throne would seriously claw your ass up though. No wonder Maegor the Cruel died on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightbringer Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 the hbo version looks pretty cool if i'm honest and that is much more fitting for the tv show cos lets be honest if they really made that thing it'd cos loads of money, be a bit of a health and safety hazard, and it looks a bit to fantasy like for tv imo. Still this is probably looking more badass than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe42m1 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I always though the Iron Throne was much more epic and menacing that it appears in the show. However, I think that may be a little too extreme. The king feels a little too distant up there and I always felt like he could look you in the eye. Maybe half the size of OP's image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frey-A-La-Mode Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The king at that height looking over the court looks more like a god or an emperor than a mere monarch. Still, both of the linked pictures there are pretty badass.No way in hell they'd make it that huge for the show. Can you imagine if an actor or stagehand tripped going down?
