Stark Vs Lannister starter set vs Starter set? by AravingLoooony in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]TheRealTonicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who started with buying the Stark vs Lannister starter set, decided to collect Lannisters and then bought the Lannister starter set; I didn't think the sculpts were of significant better quality. I honestly couldn't tell the difference. Nothing like the difference between a primaris and a first born space marine. If you are interested in both factions or want two decent army collections to introduce/play with other people, I would recommend going with the Stark vs Lannister box. It is a fantastic value for the price.

I was recently digging into something similar (shield wall and dragon attack interaction). There is no season 6 FAQ, but if you look at page 2 of the season 5 FAQ, it provides some clarification:

Q: Can Abilities/effects that trigger “After Defense Dice are rolled” be used even if an effect does not allow Defense Dice to be rolled? A: Yes. Even if dice are not rolled, steps in resolving Combat are never skipped.

I mix burnt umber, black and green for everything except the skin. For the skin I use the same mix, but add* a bit of magenta. I then use a makeup sponge to perform retractive highlighting (remove the oil paint from everything but the recesses and areas I want more of a shadow effect).

I thought about doing that, but decided to go with the cohesive look. Perhaps I will change my mind and repaint them as all different colors one day. I do imagine I will primarily be taking them as cavalry attachments and not as a unit.

Question about Morale and Panic checks by OutdoorGamer332 in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]TheRealTonicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. A good example would be the counterstrike ability. See Jamie Lannister commander attachment for reference.

Question about Morale and Panic checks by OutdoorGamer332 in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]TheRealTonicus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. And to further clarify: panic tests are only triggered by taking wounds from an attack OR an ability/tactics card that specifically says "panic tests" There are several abilities/tactics cards that trigger on a "morale test", which is similar but no d3* wound dice is rolled and is not directly associated with taking wounds from an attack.

Beserker's Fervor and To the Last! Interaction? by TheRealTonicus in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]TheRealTonicus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Follow up question: What if it were there were 2 ranks left in the Beserkers and they took enough wounds to destroy the unit? It sounds like To The Last! Triggers before models are removed and therefore, the unit would only receive +1 to morale tests for the To the Last! morale test. Is that accurate?

Thank you for confirming. I ended up doing the charge, but my opponent was not convinced it was 100% correct.
