Nice work. Do you plan to use the CMON westeros minis with the Perry miniatures?

I really like the paint jobs on your terrain. They look very believable. Thanks for sharing.

Hello mate,

unfortunately CMON models are significantly bigger, more of 32-36 mm and therefore I can not use them with my Perry sculpts.

I am glad that you like my decors. ;)

Tonight's game: 40pts Lannister vs Stark, Missions scenario. Hear me roar - 16 to 14 points, last turn only Flayed man and Clegane were on the board. Great game with my buddy Thomas and he is hooked! :D

You won't regret mate! Game is awesome - first tabletop I play frequently after the dead of GW Fantasy battle years ago and I truly enjoy it. Will have to mobilize to sit and paint the models I play with - Lannisters and Boltons, with so many wins they deserve better. ;)

Could you give us a couple of sentences about the rules dynamic, and what makes it a great game?

I’ve seen plenty of comment (good & bad) about the sculpts, but nothing really about the game...

 :)

Well, I like it and you will get a positive one from me.

For now you have 5 armies to choose from: Lannister, Starks, Night Watch and Wildlings. Boltons can be hired as mercenaries from Starks, NW and Lannister or to be played as separate force.

So you have combat units that can be lead by a hero - usually gives them some sort of bonus. You have also noncombat units to choose from - they can affect the game from a special board and with their unique abilities. You can use them every turn once. They also kind of replace the magic that used to be available in Warhammer Fantasy.

Army composition is pretty simple, for the points decided you can by whatever you like- CU and NCU. You have to appoint general and the war can start.

You can premeasure whenever you like. Also you have a deck with action cards - 14 standard for the fraction you lead and 6 from your general. You start the game with 3 of them in your hand and you can use them at any time you need their effect.

In the rule book you have 5 scenarios to play and also 2 fan made are available in the net. Have tried all and I like them very much. I think you can find the rules free online - not too many pages to read and to decide for yourself.

I think that I will be using them with my other project as well.

In general - easy to learn rules and you have what to master once you learn them. Randomness in the way you get the cards and with the dice.

And at the end of this post, my all time favorite NCU, for my army is a must!!! She deserved to be among the first painted! Cercei Lannister - her special ability is to lower enemy moral which is very handy.

P.S. I am not big fan of the models as well, think that they could put more efforts in creating them.
