Game of Thrones House Sigil Snowflakes: Paper Cuts are Coming

I resisted watching any of Game of Thrones for a long time before getting bored a few weekends ago and firing up HBO on Demand.

Some of them are very complex looking, particularly the Lannister snowflake. The Baratheon flake also looks very challenging with its intricate stag horns. The Targaryen snowflake looks like it’s ready to breathe fire.

After all, given the cost of those robotic bulls, scary babies and giant mecha, Skynet's gonna need some wallet-friendly foot-soldiers for the Robopocalypse.
