Warning: Spoilers for all books!

 

A year after the last post we know what the next addition is…

But what will come next?

Personally, I'd love to see a House Bolton ally expansion.

They are the one faction that fought against Lannisters, against Starks and are going up against Baratheon, so there are all sorts of "canon" battles to fight: Just imagine: The big battle at the end of game of thrones, the battle at Winterfell, the "battle" at the twins, a preview of the battle on the ice in WoW.

And with Roose Bolton and Ramsay Snow we have two great choices for commanders. Maybe they could do Steelshanks Walton as a third.

I think a House Tyrell expansion would be the next logical choice. They could make them ally force like the Tully's or Clansmen, and would give a second ally to the Lannisters, or they could side with the Baratheons as well.

This has been mentioned, but I think a Battle at the Wall:  WIding vs Night's Watch would be awsome.  It could be a stand alone set.

If FFG follows the core house box and then espansion/allies box probably we will see Tyrell (although they changed sides, they were Renly allies, before is death), probably that's why we didn´t see a Loras Tyrell miniature in this last box.

I think as well that FFG is saving the Tyrells for a separate box, probably an ally expansion. Maybe with Loras Tyrell, Mace Tyrell and Randyll Tarly?

Not wanting to be pedantic, but technically Tyrell are one of the great houses…however, saying that I do think they would presently fit better as an ally to either Baratheon or Lannister, as suggested above  Although the way things are going in the books, they may see some bigger fisticuff action soon.

 And whilst Greyjoy make sense as the next great house release, given that they have fought pretty much everyone, I would much prefer to see a Nightswatch Vs. Wildlings new core set release.  They are two very distinct sides - especially the Wildlings - with the opportunity for some really creative units and characters.  Plus, the battle at the wall would make for a great advanced scenario 

Oh, and I second the Boltons as an ally force.  Imagine the fun you could have taunting your opponent after capturing one of his commanders, knowing full well that they're likely to end up at the end of a flaying knife…or killing the sadistic Bastard of House Bolton, if you prefer!  

Fear does not exist in this dojo, does it???

No sure what that fat oaf mace would be doing in an expansion, it should be redwyne, or Loras' brother.

It would be fun to have the Boltons as a "Stark" ally helping Robb, and set up a battle where if moral gets too low, have them switch sides.

My guess is that they will eventually make a Tyrell expansion.  Otherwise, they would have had Loras instead of Andrew Estermont.  I agree that a Greyjoy expansion would come next.  I just don't know how FFG would represent them on the BOW board.  With the Baratheon Expansion, they sort of explored the use of ships traveling on river hexes, but there needs to be a way to combat ship units from non-water hexes.

 Looks like there will be a Forces of R'llor expansion, which to me implies that we will also get a full Tyrell box someday. Think they will come after Greyjoy, though. I could see a Watch vs. Wildlings box before either of those too. Would love to see some Robert's Rebellion scenarios, probably as part of a Targaryen box, which I expect will be looooong way off.

A Tyrell Ally expansion would certainly be the easiest to produce.

Commanders:

  • Mace Tyrell [Mounted] - An ability to reflect his status as a great lord, but also complete oaf.
  • Randyll Tarly [On Foot] - An ability to reflect his ruthlessness on the battlefield
  • Garlan Tyrell  [On Foot] - An ability to relect his skill with the sword, like a challange to single combat.

(I know Loras is the darling child of Tyrell, but I think Garlan is a more interesting choice.)

Units: I feel like Tyrell units should be a bit mercurial, bolstered by success, but crippled by failure.  Many of them change sides in the books at least once.

  • Tyrell Infantry: Poor, bloody infantry
  • Tyrell Knights:  Flower of Southern Chivarly, powerful charge, heavily armored, stupidly chivalrous
  • Tyrell Swordsman: Dismounted knights, highly skilled and heavily armored

[

Oh. Your. God.

@ Spike: Why do you think there wil be a "Forces of R'hllor" expansion? I thought the whole point of the army expansion was that Baratheon wasn't going to get a special expansion for themselves. If you heard or read something else, I would be most interested.

Don't see Greyjoy happening because of the ship problem but i do see a possible Tyrell and Martell

Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.

 @Rubinon, The Bratheon expansion has an icon for them, along with Tully and Tribes of the Vale. It's near the front IIRC. So, no Tyrell as an ally based on that. Allies, not extra units for the house.

@ Spike: Now I get what you were saying: Baratheon has a command tableau for multiplayer games that says "Forces of R'hllor", whereas Stark has Tully, and Lannister has Clansmen. Okay, I don't think that's enough evidence for a "Forces if R'hllor" expansion. I have no idea who the leaders of that expansion should be (except maybe for Axell Florent), and I think FFG has far better options. But it shows again they don't think of Tyrell as a Baratheon expansion, and that's quite nedly.
