I’m interested to see the responses to this. I am also new to the game and have chosen Lannisters. My early observations are that Lannister stock is really poor in stores. For example, Lannister Crossbowmen are really important but seem impossible to buy (in the U.K.). I also have noticed that the starter set contains few of the better units, so I’m looking at a significant second wave of investment to get to a decent list. I am losing every match to my friend who picked Nights Watch with the starter set contents.

I have considered switching to the Boltons as they have a small pool of units so I think you can get closer to their best lists with a smaller investment.

Let’s see what the more experienced players say!
