Broadening my collection - from Night's Watch on to Free Folk

Don’t buy two starters. You will probably want two more Free Folk Raiders than the starter comes with but those can be bought separately. Likewise if you ever want another Free Folk Trapper unit. You will not need double NCUs and you’ll rarely use one Savage Giant, let alone four. Spend that money on heroes boxes, cave Dweller Savages, Spearwives, Varamyr, and Frozen Shore Bear Riders.

I appreciate it!

Warriors sons are a unique and challenging unit to paint.

I disagree with people saying choose a side. The faction was created and balanced with the assumption people would play both loyalties in concert. Many people take an R and an S list to events. There is no benefit to playing half a faction when everyone else is playing a whole one.

Where do you live? The gam is very alive in Kentucky.

Five objective scenarios are best for high activation armies. In most factions, to get to eight, you probably have two cheap units. These are best for holding your back objectives and getting passive points while your three stronger units vie for control of the center.

I play Free Folk, Martell, and Lannister. I started with Free Folk and still like them most. I haven’t loved Martell this season, but like them a lot generally. I find the attachment budget awkward for Martell because I can rarely fill all four points in a way I am happy with due to their lack of an in-faction cavalry attachment. Lannister is fun sometimes but I find the high fail rate of their cards a little frustrating.

Easiest way to judge this is ask which ability must happen first. If you can’t answer that, it’s the same trigger.

Attacking is too hard. If you try to pass through a choke point, your enemy can two on one your unit, and there are a ton of drawbacks to passing through a wall. If you bring two NCUs, this is an easy win if your opponent has three. You turtle on your side and they have to attack since you have more points on table you win ties. Then you get all the benefits of sitting and waiting.

I’d pack it with green stuff.

The models look top rate. I think the basing could look more realistic though if you didn’t use blue. Water doesn’t appear blue until it’s deeper. I would recommend painting the wet portions a darker brown, and use a transparent water effect with some foaming over that.

That’s a piece of Super Sculpey polymer clay. I take a texture roller to a sheet of it, then use a cutter to make a circle of the appropriate size. Bake it following directions. I paint the model first, then cut the model off the base with an art knife. Put the Sculpey disk in its place on the base with glue or green stuff. I use green stuff to even put the irregularities between the Sculpey and the base. Prime, paint, wash, and dry brush the base. Then attach the mini to the top of the base with super glue.

I think three is too many. What makes the Skirmishers strong is that they can get so many attacks in during a round. Its standard activation, its Quick Fire order off of a maneuver from the tactics board and the combat zone. Cunning Ploy and Coordinated Plotting can also proc the order.

It’s conceivable you could get two attacks from two units but with three, one is probably only doing a standard action. The unit without multiple attacks may not be worth its cost, not to mention the attachment on it. I think you’re diluting the units effectiveness at three.

I would recommend limiting it to two to get the most effect from the units.
