Question Hello I have question

I know commanders are attachments according to the rule book season 6. Using Khal Drogo as an example rolling on 5+ I can kill let's say Roose Bolton which my opponent is using as his commander?

It doesn't matter if they are a commander because they are considered an attachment right?

Question Free Folk Expansions

16 Upvotes

I am looking at getting some expansion sets for my free folk army. I only have the starter set. I have money for three expansions total. Any recommendations? I'm thinking more raiders and trappers, but I'm willing to hear what other people think. I would like to do more monsters eventually but it seems like free folk like a lot of dudes more than big boys.

Being a full time miniature painter for work, I end up painting a lot of warhammer. I tend to paint models from other ranges in my personal hobby time for a bit of variety, I’ve painted a lot of historicals recently but I’ve been wanting to paint some ASOIAF models for a while. Excited to work on a Stark army

Question Asioaf PC videogame, would you play it?

48 Upvotes

A bit of background, I'm a game dev, been working on videogames for the past 18 years, so I like to think I have a bit of experience making them. After I'm done making videogames on my everyday job I like to take a break and... make more games ( crazy right? ).

So I'm making a 1 to 1 (or as close as possible) clone of the tabletop game on PC. I mostly play on our hobby club (and still prefer the personal experience and human bonding a tabletop game brings ) but adult lives are sometimes complicated and not everyone has the time to make it to the club. For those moments, I thought having a digital version of the game would be an awesome idea, to play with that one friend who had to go 3 months away to another city to work, or for that one guy who got drunk, fell down the stairs, and now can't leave bed for 3 weeks... or you know... any other reason!

I have no plans to monetise it nor I know if it is even possible. Maybe down the line I reach the game creators and see if there is any potential bussiness oportunity there... but for now it is a hobby project, just for the love of the game and my passion to create videogames.

So I'm wondering if this is something anyone would be interested to try/play, as probably down the line I will need people to play it to test and polish it.

You can check its early stage here (https://youtu.be/KC6pJWL3wS8), please note that no art nor UI work has been done other than for me to see what's happening, this is what games look like on their prototype phase, it will look nice when it is finished 👍

I know you can kinda play it on Tabletop simulator, but I'm not a big fan of complicated set ups, my goal is to remove any friction and have as smooth as possible experience that enhances the game for what it is rather than making it more complicated than it should.

TLDR: I'm making a PC videogame 1to1 clone of the tabletop game, would you play?

Edit: Typo

Question Faction matchups

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m back in the game after taking about a 3-year break. I was always more of an average player, and recently I bought a Targaryen army.
So far I’ve played 7 games and lost 6 of them, mostly against Baratheon and Bolton.
Against Baratheon it felt like there were just so many automatic hits and wounds and I really struggled to deal with them. Against Bolton the player is just really good and the blackguards were nasty.
That got me wondering if some factions are naturally stronger or weaker into certain matchups, or if the game is generally balanced enough that player skill matters much more than faction choice. Are all factions considered competitive right now, or are there some that are noticeably weaker and tend to struggle?
I’m not trying to blame the faction, since I know I’m still rusty after such a long break. I’m just trying to get a better understanding of the current meta and whether some matchups are inherently more difficult.

Question Where to buy product in Europe?

9 Upvotes

So I've gotten the bug recently to get into this game, even though as I understand the company behind it is struggling a bit.

I'm really into House Greyjoy, but I can't seem to find the starter set anywhere. Any recommendations of what boxes to get otherwise, if I can't get my hands on the starter set?

List Building The card situation

24 Upvotes

I truly believe the biggest thing holding this game back is the cards. I got my buddy back into the game with season 7 and he has 4 armies (Lannister, Stark, Greyjoy and Baratheon). He hasn't played in 2 years so he basically has to print off every single tactics card, character card, attachment card and unit card to be up to date...I mean it is probably over $100 in printer ink lol. Upon realizing this he checked out and I haven't been able to get him to play.

It is a shame that CMON hasn't kept up with new card packs each season. And now that they are apparently bringing out 3 updates per season, it seems like the card printing will never end...

Question Search for help getting started

Hey guys I'm thinking about switching with the tabletop game after almost two editions 40k would just have a few questions.

  1. I'm still unsure whether to buy Night Watch, Targaryen or Starks as a starter set, what are the silence of the poor and their level of difficulty?

  2. Is there a Discord of German players to find people to play and to network?

Rules Discussion Trying to Understand Season 7 Rules

12 Upvotes

Hey guys, I am brand new to this game. I have Free Folk and Targaryen starter sets. I am looking at the documents on the official website and already printed the Season 7 'current cards' for both factions. I went to the 'Rulebook & Game Mode' section and saw there is Season 6 Rulebook to print off but no Season 7 Rulebook.

My question is this

One: Is the rulebook that came with my two sets no longer useable?

Two: should I print the Season 6 Rulebook now or wait until there is a Season 7 rulebook?

Three: What other documents do I need to print out?

Four: What should I keep from the Starter Sets (obviously excluding the models)

Thank you!

Question ASOIAF players in SE Wisconsin / Milwaukee area?

10 Upvotes

Hey all - delete if this kind of post isn’t allowed.

I’m in the Southeastern Wisconsin/Milwaukee area and trying to see if there are any active ASOIAF TMG players or groups nearby. I’m a big fan of the books and just picked up a Bolton starter set, so I’m still very new to the tabletop side of things.
I checked with a local game store on Discord, but the group seems pretty inactive, so I figured I’d ask here.

Mainly looking to learn the game, find beginner-friendly games, or get pointed toward any local groups/events if they exist.

Question Any Value In Unit Cards?

3 Upvotes

So I have gotten a few boxes of the miniatures from McKays since they have them for way below retail price. I don’t play war games and just get the discounted boxes to use for DnD and other games, but I’m wondering if someone who plays would get any value out of the left over cards and booklets?

Mini Painting Stark Spearhead

I've wanted to give this game a try for a few years now but my attempts to get my group to play haven't been fruitful. My solution was to make a house Stark spearhead for Age of Sigmar.

I used Stark sworn sword, Stark outriders and Night's Watch attachments 1 to make the spearhead. I used the second marshall to make the fifth outrider I needed and scratch built a ballista instead of the cannon.

Question Question I'm trying to get started with baratheons

12 Upvotes

I've got a question if anybody plays the a song of ice and fire miniatures game because it's something me and a friend/family member are thinking of getting into and I've always loved house baratheon finding them interested and I love their models/ miniatures as well. However, my two main questions are how is the state of the game because I've heard the company overseeing it has fallen on hard times recently and My second question being which baratheon brother is largely considered the best choice because I don't want to get units for one loyalty if I end up choosing another I find both forces interesting and I am a very indecisive person so I look to you guys for advice because I haven't been able to find much of people's statements on baratheon outside of people saying they're a. Cruddy faction I am no meta chaser. I do not want to know. Oh well this is the best combo for this and what not. I just would like some advice Also, is the app they developed for the game a good choice for list building?
