I'm using my lannisters as basileans. I rebased an entire core set and got quite a few units out of it. I'll use starks as varangur or northern alliance later. Compared to ASOIAF tmg this game offers much more variety when it comes to army building and unit selection. But the units Feel much less vital individually since you have more units on the table Play length is very similar since kow play faster despite having more moving parts.

Remember, what matters isn't the number of models, it's the size of the unit base. As such you can take a big ol' base for, say, Goblins, and put a handful of trees on it and some scattered Goblins moving through them, and it's not only 100% legal but it is in fact strongly encouraged by the devs.

You don't get hindered for charging through your own units. You cannot charge through your own guys but the order you do it usually allows you to get all units in. So if the Bruiser moved first into the Giant, the trolls would have been fine to charge the Ogres

Believe that even if Wavered you could’ve Disengaged and Changed Facing so you wouldn’t need to offer the flank to that Legion of Gobbos the 2nd time around. Also hey should’ve been Hindered as well since it would’ve been a fresh Charge and they were still technically on the fence. Finally, Grock is just totally bad@$$...!

@Dylfunkle4 жыл бұрын
I've just gotten in, personally I believe you absolutely do, and if you have an existing army from another fantasy system, it likely has an equivalent. I'm using my undead units from AOS for the undead army, and I went halves in the new starter box for northern alliance from their own ip. Because of preferred model count, each unit only needs 75% of the total models represented, so units stretch further and have more room for creative basing. If that wasn't enough to tweak your interest, the rule book holds all main army listings, so no need for an army specific purchase, and it costs way less to get into than the GW equivalent.
