I like 50 point games, but for time constraints in tournaments, not just for playing but setup, clean up, army displacement to a new table, deployment; 40 points is more optimal.

Blackguards I find as a useful vanguard/speed bump unit, that's their natural role in an army of weak defense. I can't make use of two Cutthroats like you do, but I see the newly released Mummers as...
Their +4 armour is their only vulnerability that I see, which isn't so vulnerable to begin with, and with fast cav units you know their flanks will be well protected.
Prick much? Bite me.
I'm using my own reasoning between how the Great Axes and 10 point Flayed Men were treated. And I'm seeing these guys going the same direction, but not before a bunch of...
Anyone has seen that ridiculous leaked photo of the Unsullied Swordmasters and attachment card laying on a painting palette? That better be fake because the attack stats are so ridiculous that it...
Yeah when going vanilla in a Neutral army only, the Skirmishers just don't cut it. I have a hard time placing their role without an attachment. And would you want an expensive attachment in this...
Why take the newly released BMS over the Cutthroats for the same stats with 1 point extra cost? So one of their abilities mirror each other, weakened instead of vulnerable. Where the extra point...
Sorry but I'm going by their Expo conference they had when introducing the Baratheons and Targaryens. If I remember correctly 7 factions as the number being tossed around, I don't remember 9...
In 30 points games it is okay to run 1 NCU but never more than 2.
In 40 points 2 NCUs should be optimal, if you go 1 more then you might be sinking too many points into NCUs unless you're playing...
I believe Schinell mentioned 7 factions total, not 9, but I'm not sure if Neutrals count. If we're not counting Neutrals then I suspect that the Greyjoys are the 7th faction to complete the War of...
I guess LVO is suppose to mean Las Vegas. I hope one tournament doesn't set the meta for you, because all the talk I heard and polls I read pre v1.5 says that the Night's Watch were the slight meta...
Way to judge a whole group of people, so bravo to you. But last I played my original two flayed men, my opponents found a way around them and they didn't win me every game. This is about building...
WAAC? Care to explain?
How about this for an idea? Ramsey was a cavalry commander in the books. As a cavalry attachment he gives critical blows and +1 to defense save, either as a Commander or for 3 points.
For unit:
1) Flayed Men
2) Sworn Shields
3) Tully Cavaliers
4) Followers of Bone
5) Kingsguard
For Characters:
1) Khal Drogo
2) Illyrio
So before v1.5 I use to run 2 Flayed Men with Girls and Cutthroats, Roose Commander, Littlefinger, Ramsey, Dreadfort Captain as my 40 pts army and had moderate success. Most of my losses came by...
Thanks for that because that is one tricky situation.
Hi Oakwolf, is there an official CMON response to guarantee that this is the case. I have a player in my group that believes that the Swornshields do block the 1 hit from the Giant before the...
^Well Free Folk has no cavalry to speak of and no access to mercenaries. So Giants are their unique unit. Maybe this was just a poor match up against your Baratheon army where 5 Giants would have...
Thank you for that clarification.
If a unit is not covered 100% behind a Palisade wall is it still visible to range units?
Can a unit that is already engaged at 50% front facing re-align to 100% facing or switch to the other 50% side when activated?
Is that Pyat Pree and Xaro Xoan Daxos? Two enemies of Danaerys.
We'll see how this goes then. Any predictions on which faction will rule the tables this year as it stands?
Anyone could have seen a Neutral faction becoming a problem once you add more and more units from different lands. It would become the faction that is most versatile in selection and the more theme...
There's nothing to fear in this latest version of the FM. They can no longer sustain combat, they can no longer control objectives. You can no longer get more than 4 wounds in a panic test anymore,...
Abosolutely agree. The original Flayed Mend should be used so long Roose or Ramsey is the army Commander in a Neutral army. This latest version of the Flayed Men is not even worth 7 points let...
Girls are worth their points value now it's true with the addition. And really the panic token has triple the utility when considering Tactics cards and Roose as Commander.
Well weak morale units will no longer be wiped clean off the table without getting out of the starting blocks. High morale elite units will now encounter more wounds per normal than before. Will...
Anyone has any news on why the Greataxes aren't getting re-stocked? I've been waiting on them for several months now and they're the only unit that's always never available.
Lannister Guard Captain will ensure that the Guarsdmen will only ever lose one model, and the attacker suffers from Lannister supremacy. So nothing really changes there. Why open your Guarsdmen up...
Agree on milestone version update or annual update release.
My views on certain units:
- Tully Sworn Shields: A very stable area of control unit that is always hard to kill by my Boltons in my experience.
- Lannister Guardsmen: Has to be the best basic...
My experience with a dozen of friendly games as a Bolton themed player mostly. Units not listed are those I have limited or no experience encountering. My opponents have been mainly Stark,...
For those that have crappy printers, who don't use the war app, or would just like production released cards. Who here seconds the motion of a v1.5 card update pack release?
You asked, you have received.
So I keep hearing mixed reviews on this faction. I've picked them up but yet to play some games with them, likely will be a while. Mostly what I hear is that they under perform but can still be...
If there's another Stannis model I hope he is mounted or most importantly wearing his crown! Seems like they're afraid to put headgear on these models which would help make them stand out more as...
We're well aware of those. We're saying that it doesn't hold a candle to the manufactured cards unless we invest into quality printing.
Definitely would appreciate a card pack update.
I collect most stuff but not everything. I Have Starks, Lannisters, Neutrals, and Free Folk so far. Not that CMON is making it easy to order from them through a local store. I think I'll wait for...
It's a disappointment that I won't be using Boltons in tournaments once v1.5 is released. Unless I can make a list work in friendly games, I feel like this cripples a House Bolton themed player. ...
^Meaning you collected every other unit of every faction?
Units only ever activate once per round, so I think it would be redundant to say that the Stone Thrower only fires once per round as a rule if while it still can attack again through a NCU or by...
As a Bolton player, I am disappointed by this change just as I'm getting my Blackguard. A heavy armoured knight mounted on a barded horse should always be a 2+ defense, I guess that's the Warhammer...
I'm in Montreal. Didn't receive any Thenn Warriors for a few weeks now since I've ordered. And forgert about Umber Great Axes, it has been several months now, I think I will never receive that unit.
I have a problem with the hammers as well thematically. CMON is really playing the look of the army off of Robert in his prime days. They look cool but too much that I have to agree it falls into...
Bolton player here.
Flayed Men cav are worth the ten points. 3+ attack, 2+ defense, their morale is okay at 6+ that's their weekness. The flails are a lot better than cavalry lances. Lances...
The High Seneschal , can he claim a tactics board spot or is he just a show piece?
Problem is I'm stuck with the force that I have, it is a 2x KS pledge force plus the Cutthroats add on. I'm looking for two Blackguard units when they release and The Brave Companions and this will...
Missed the survey. I'm amazed by how many the respondants aren't KS backers, about 50%, that's great. I myself am focusing on Boltons with the intention of doing 50% Stark (Umbers and hopefully...
The 40 points list I'm working with is:
-Roose Bolton (Commander, NCU)
-Little Finger (4pts NCU)
-Ramsey + Reek (3pts)
-Dreadfort Captain (1pt)
-High Senechal (0pts NCU)
-Flayed Men x2...
