As mentioned previously, abilities like Vicious, Crit Blow, Sundering affect/target the friendly units attack but have affects on targeted enemy unit. I do not think Barristan cancels those types of...

Thx. I knew better but got in a rush. No excuse, really.,

Thx. Yeah, rereading Varys verifies your conclusion. I know Varys isnt nearly as oppressive as he used to be, but he's still really good & useful and worth the 5 pts in a lot of match-ups.

I think old 1.4 Varys would cancel any replacement effect when he cancelled a zone because his trigger was when an NCU claimed a zone and not upon activation , but now when the NCU activates, Varys...

I sprayed a matte clear coat on some Wardens and the conditions were too cold/humid which left a slight frosting effect on the minis that blurred the bright colors. Anyone fixed this problem before?...

Man, that should have been obvious to me. Somehow my mind didn't put replacement effect in as same category as an Influence or other NCU effect that is on card. Thanks a lot!

Just a quick Varys 1.5 question. If I activate an NCU w tactics zone replacement effect (Like Craster or Vayl), and opponent's Varys chooses to cancel tactics zone and is successful, can I then...

I agree but it'd be nice for an official ruling of some sort. That word "or" is tricky.

Othell is a great commander, my current favorite. Check him out with double Flayed Men. Sundering on Flayed Men, Sundering or Critical Blow or Vicious on Vets, his cards are all good & super easy...

I think u misread Othell. Othell the spotter is meant to be in a front line unit 12-24 inches in front of your Stone Thrower spotting targets for your Stone Thrower. That's how he works and is...

Thanks for the experience & opinions. I havent painted mine up yet. I dont think it can be attack more than once per round including attack zone on tactics board as that's whats written on the card...

I think I know the answer, but I'm curious what others think in the situation that Harma's unit initially charges a target unit's flank. Would Feinting Maneuver then allow that attacking unit to...

I think the visual aesthetics definitely look reversed as you point out. And I woukd

So Blackguards are officially in War Council app. Come w 1 pt unit attachment Bolton Flayer who has Prey on Fear (enemy unit he is engaged w fails panic test & flayer's unit restores 2 wounds). I...

Yep, thats pretty official. Thx for answering & link. Really appreciate it.

If I use OY's Precision Enhancement card on a unit of Sworn Brothers who have Critical Blow, does each hit roll of 6 cause 1 or 2 hits that benefit from the second part of the card (no defense...

Last I saw, they were slated for Oct release, but a few have told me they thought the Neutral Heroes 2 box had been delayed to coincide w upcoming Stormcrow & Bloody Mummers unit releases since the...

Thx. I'd planned to put him in GAs when playing Starks. Really like Sansa for pulling a card when needed. Thoughts/suggestions for when he joins the NW? I'd thought either Vets to maximize his...

Finally finishing up my Boltons eagerly awaiting the Blackguards release (more for the cool sculpts and additional option than any perceived power/advantage offered by the unit). Ramsay looks to be...

It's admittedly very subjective, but for me, getting below 7 activations in a 40 pt game is danger territory. 9 pt Cavaliers make fitting that 7th activation (typically a wolf) into lists w The...

Tully Cavaliers will really be a welcome addition, but that 9 cost sure makes it tough with list building to get the min activations and some toys. I'll prob try out the Cav Commander version of the...

Used a version of the Stalwart Tullys last night (led by Robb the wolf Lord w Grey Wind, healthy dose of Umbers), Brynden Tully Vanguard Infiltrator attachment in Outriders, Maege the She-Bear in...

Looks like the Stark/Tully Stalwart dream just got better. Saw some spoiled Tully Cavalier models and stat card today in FB/Instagram. Same basic stats as Lannister Knights, same lances, but instead...

Thats what I thought. Thx.

Same topic, slightly diff situation. A freefolk trappers unit successfully charged an enemy unit and ended up within 6" of Tyrion. The successful charge provided the trigger for FF player to play...

Impressive seeing so many freefolk refusing to bend the knee. Let us all know how their first battle goes. Armies always fight better when painted. 😬 Unless u paint just a single favorite unit,...

Oh, you're right. Sorry. I was thinking the asoiaf army builder web app, not War Council. Maybe still hope for new BG rules.

you are correct on all except Stag Knights 8.

Sadly no, but since its already in War council app, I think thats the version we'll be getting.

At Gencon, Neutral Heroes 2 and Bolton Blackguards were both on display but not for sale. Both were listed as releasing Oct 2019. Looks like new cooler sculpt for Brienne of Tarth and another alt...

Just picked up one of the pre-release Baratheon starters at GenCon. Now I gotta figure out how to paint yellow well. The Baratheons have additional items coming out soon and were in the CMON...

Really like the list & think Harma has some real potential as a commander. I tend to like the Cave Dweller Savages more than the Spearwives for 5 pt units. How have your Spearwives fared in your...

I really hope that we havent seen the unit yet because even more changes/additions were made from the latest card we've seen.

I remember in one of the On The Table podcasts (I think) that Michael mentioned that they have releases planned through 2021, if I remember correctly. That was as of a few months ago. I think their...

So, I can think of more than a few expensive units that seem a bit over costed for what the typical player can do with them on the tabletop. It's obviously up for debate, but Warrior's Sons (8),...

Great! Thx

I've considered Eddard the NCU, but havent tried him yet. Same for Sirio, but tough to fit him (and w Arya 5pts) in with all the other great attachments like Maege, Bran & Hodor, etc. I also think...

I keep hearing the Stormcrow Lieutenant mentioned in podcasts as if his rules have already been spoiled recently. Does anyone know or have a link to his rules or know where to read about this...

Very much appreciated advice. I love The Blackfish in all forms and cant wait for Tully Cavalier reinforcements to arrive.

Holy moly thats enough FF to make Mance Rayder proud. I'm glad contrast paints have helped many get painted armies on the table. I have a buddy who has been doing his Lannisters that way.
Back to...

I cant wait to hear. I may be trying out 1 unit of Cave Dwellers for the first time this week. Worried that their 6+ defense might melt them too quickly.
I'm painting this unit w regular...

If true, it's a real shame as the minis look great. I did like their spiked armor ability better than the current panic mechanic ability.

Which faction & units were you playing against? I tried him out a few weeks ago, but misplayed his Outflank ability and had him in the Outriders which evaporated quickly as I was boxed in and...

I really hope these guys are finally available to buy at GenCon. Worth 6 pts or not, I'll be buying a unit as soon as I cam find one for sale. Awesome looking minis.

I think Styr has the potential to be really good, but a few things have kept me from seriously considering him just yet. 1) the Thenn Warriors box isn't out yet and I'd like to see what they add to...

I'm curious how you did with your list on the table? I have 2 units of Cave Dwellers and am almost convinced to get a 3rd after reading the Savage Rattler List on asoiafcc featuring Rattleshirt...

I think you're right on the Chosen being like Eddards Honor Guard. In War Council app, the unit card for Chosen is included in the FF Heroes 1 box contents with all the characters. It seems the reg...

Anybody used these guys yet? Thoughts, experiences, impressions? 8 pts is pretty expensive, especially for FF, but they seem to get some decent upgrades for the extra 2 pts.

Quick Q: I just...

Yes, that possibility can be really intriguing, especially attack, maneuver, and wealth zones. I think I'll paint my Littlefinger up & try him out soon to see how it affects a game.

Good info, but I think the Littlefinger claiming a diff zone but using maneuver zone effect to trigger Rapid Charge was FAQed to not work like that anymore. I think I saw it in FAQ 1.4.

That's some great and obviously some hard-won advice. I like all versions of the Blackfish & cant wait to try them each out. I'm painting up my two units this coming weekend, as a matter of fact. ...

THANK YOU Starkadia for your response & advice. I was beginning to think the North was dead. I'd written off Catelyn for my initial plans, but may reconsider. Have you (or anyone else) had any...

So, I'm fairly new to ASOIAF and have only played a few games with Nights Watch and Neutrals. I would like to paint up a small Tully centric Stark force (30-40pts) featuring units/characters that I...

I was listening to an old Song Chat podcast today and Michael Shinall mentions something that may shed some light on all of this. The podcast episode is the Feb 10, 2019, one titled "Roose Defensive...

This would be welcome news, indeed, if confirmed. Where did you see/hear about it, Mutter? Great w Cutthroats, good w Black Guards Horrific Visage, too.

Agreed on vicious.

Good suggestion on Bronn if u take 2 Blackguards units or you dont put your commander in them. Seems to shore up their weaknesses as long as u claim right tactics zone. Brienne gives Stalwart +2...

I'm planning to start w small games of 30 pts at first to get my feet wet & a feel for the faction's play style. Trying to use Ramsay, but tough fitting in everything and divorcing myself from my...

Chase, have you or Josh or anyone you regularly play with tried out a Neutral only army in your games? I'm curious about any tabletop lessons y'all may have learned playing Neutrals as their own...

My reservations with them are their difficulty in getting to an objective in the first place (movement 4) or dislodging an enemy from an objective (weak offense) is suspect. With such few choices in...

Yes sir, I did. But feel free to confirm future tribesmen release right now.... 😬

43 min mark of Song Chat w Michael Shinall podcast he mentions Mtn will be particularly good w upcoming neutral units, specifically Stormcrow mercenaries. Still looking for where I heard about Vale...

I think in June 10th episode when he talks about new Mtn rules and mentions he'd be real good in new neutral Tribesmen unit. I could be wrong on exact podcast. Let me find exactly where mentioned....

Also, in the most recent Song Chat podcast, Michael Shinall confirms the hill tribesmen/clans of the Vale will be a new neutral unit, too. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Imd just like to get...

As it stands now, I'm not convinced they are worth 6 pts in a Neutrals only army. I really hope the unit attachment that comes in the box with the Black Guards adds some offensive punch to the unit....

I havent looked at Bowen Marsh much yet. Any tips or tricks that he's especially good at?

Curious, have u tried any Neutral NCUs or Unit Attachments yet? After my starter box is painted up, I plan to paint up the ranger hunters and try them out w Bron or Brienne.
I'm most excited for...

Havent used mine yet, but curious. How did u try to protect it? Did cavalry simply get behind wall of infantry protecting it?

I wish I had some advice or tactical genius to share with you, but I've only just played my first game w NW. Took starter box to 30 pts (2 Sworn Brothers, 1 Vets, watch capt in 1 sworn swords unit,...

Really enjoying your paint thread. Thank u for doing so. The effort is definitely appreciated. I just ordered some Night's Watch myself and I will likely incorporate some of your techniques to get...

New to ASOIAF TMG, but not tabletop wargames. Looking for some fun guys (or gals) to learn from & play some games with. Casually competitive. Not a power gamer/min-maxer, and I paint my armies up...
