For those who did not see, the contents of Lannister Heroes 2 and Stark Heroes 2 have been spoil't! Personally am very excited for the Stark Heroes box. Expected release date is March 29th.
Lannister Heroes 2 is Joffrey Baratheon's Kingsguard, and includes eight models including Joffrey himself. Supposedly each member of the Kingsguard can be taken as their own attachment, though perhaps there will be special rules for fielding them all together. As Joffrey's Kingsguard, this will be after Barristan Selmy is forced to resign, and thus a second version of The Hound will likely be in the box as well. Other knights are up to speculation. Ser Mandon Moore could be in the box, but if it is the post-Blackwater Kingsguard then Ser Mandon would be slain (by Podrick, a hero I hope we see in the future!) and replaced by Ser Loras Tyrell. Perhaps here we will also see a one-handed Jaime with less combat prowess and perhaps more political acumen (maybe even as an NCU!).
Stark Heroes 2 is significantly more wild, as none of the models included could be considered "Regular" soldiers as many of the lords and ladies we have seen so far. Included is Rickon Stark (and Shaggydog, meaning a triple Direwolf army is now possible) as well an unannounced woman who I am assuming is Osha, Arya Stark, Jojen Reed, Meera Reed, and Syrio Forel. Syrio Forel struck me as waaaay out of left field but I am more excited by the dancing master joining the Stark ranks than any other hero. I am excited for Arya as well, though I hope they manage to make the notion of a elevenish year old girl fighting on a battlefield not feel ridiculous (ie low point cost and low impact). The Reeds should be cool as well, and hopefully they will have a rule that makes a unit they join be considered a Crannogman unit, making Daddy Howland a more appealing choice as a commander.
That is all I have for now. Night's Watch have a new unit coming that are "Night's Watch Conscripts," so presumably a 5 point (or perhaps even 4 point) unit for the otherwise-elite army and Wildlings have Cave Dwellers, which are a 5 point unit that gets stronger as the enemy loses ranks. Let me know your thoughts and potential ideas on unit abilities.
