The Tyrells and the sparrows gear up: more shots of the coming conflict
More and more information is coming in from fans on location in Girona, Spain, which by now you probably know is standing in for King’s Landing (plus Braavos and Oldtown) during Game of Thrones Season 6. Many enterprising fans are snapping some great photos of the different actors and extras preparing to film their various scenes, in varying states of costumed repose.
In that vein, we’ve already had some shots of the Faith Militant preparing to film what promises to be a big, important scene, and thanks to Redditor ashen_due, we’ve got a look at some of the props that will be used in that scene, including the swords, an armored horse, and a guy in armor who could be a knight of House Tyrell or a member of the Warrior’s Sons (the knighted members of the Faith Militant).
Here’s the knight and armored horse:

And here is the cache of swords:

Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD
According to ashen_due, the swords belong to the Tyrell army, which is on hand to spring Margaery from the clutches of the dastardly High Sparrow. Using the Redditor’s own words, “It looks like there are about 50+ sparrows involved in the scene.” That doesn’t sound like the High Sparrow and the Faith are willing to release Margaery without a bit of a tussle, or at least without showing that they have the manpower for a tussle if they wanted one.
We also have more photos from Els Bastards via its Twitter feed:
These photos are of the sparrows and Tyrell army. From Alèxia Pomar:
Many horses. Very Thrones. Such Games. Wow.
And then of course, you can’t have horse dung without peasants to pick it up and throw it, right Cersei? Stay tuned as the photos continue to pour in!
