HOUSE TARGARYEN FACTION OVERVIEW - A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game - 2024 Edition
"A man had only to look at them to know that they were not like other men; their eyes, their hair, their very bearing, all proclaimed their differences. And they flew dragons" - Gyldayn
Far to the east of Westeros, lies the continent of Essos. Largest of the three known continents, birthplace of the Valyrians and in our tale the first great conquest of the last Targaryen, Daenerys Stormborn.
Where most military forces are mustered and trained in a castles garrison, Queen Daenerys draws on the loyalty and worship of readily trained fighting forces. When she marches to war, she does so alongside the thunder of a thousand hooves and the battle cries of the Dothraki horde, the elite marching footsteps and gleaming spear tips of the Unsullied, the unfaltering loyalty of the Stormcrow mercenaries, the loyal militia of Meereen and most importantly under the devastating gaze of the last three Dragons in the world..... all with one goal in mind. The reinstating of the last real dynasty and rightful Queen of Westeros.
In the game, Queen Daenerys' army is represented as a highly mobile but hard hitting force. Being able to call on multiple mini factions within her military to reinforce weakness' and tailor forces to deal with specific threats. This isn't only applicable to the army choice, this trickles through to the commander choice. Each Targaryen commander switches one of the base deck out for a fourth commander specific tactics card, easily allowing you to deal with all opposing your conquest of Westeros. Will you go to war with a complete force of cavalry commanded by the Great Khal Drogo or march the banners of the three headed dragon forward under command of Barristan Selmy. It doesn't matter, for who would stand in the face of Drogon's fury as Daenerys Targaren, Mother of Dragons marches at the head?
With the exception of Dothraki who hold no love for politics, many familiar faces will greet you from the tactics board. From the wealthy merchants of Illyrio Mopatis, Xaro Xhoan Daxos and Hizdahr Zo Loraq to the enigmatic Pyat Pree and Quaithe there are few favourites yet to be seen.
Join Grant in the latest episode of our Faction Overview series when he is joined by the Chelmsford's very own James Stanford aka "SonicAssassin1" to discuss the last great dynasty in Westeros, House Targaryen.
Let us know in the comments what your favourites are, which tricks we've missed, and how you play your House Targaryen!

8:03 If I start Playing the Game....can I pick up the The Faction I did the Minis.... or are there some Armies beginner should Use! Like the Boltons!
They look amazing!
Looks Amazing Thank you!
Glad this series is continuing. Looking forward to Greyjoys and tactic card breakdowns.
Im the first to comment!
1:14:11 Martell player really needs to think, when to use Sand Diplomacy and when not to…
35:47 definately 3 VPs for destroying a marked unit
Thanks Teemu
Excellent video. Really curious where you got the dashboards for the unit cards and attachments.
EBay. Then my wife decorated them.
Good game guys, and well done to Jude for lasting as long as you did against that Lannister list! Next time mate, you’ll be able to take them 🙏🏻
Excellent report, more of this please. I like that both of you speak out loud what happens (where the panic sources came from increase/decrease etc). It was very easy to keep up with what was happening the whole way through. Excellent game gentlemen :D
I’m the first to comment!
second ;P
Were you missing the IP on the flayed men and panic tests on them when you shot into their combat?
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 what a great format guys and on the top my favorite factions in one Batrep! Dream comes true. Thanks. Shared and liked your video.
Thanks for a good batrep, fun to see pitfighters take the field :) at 45min were the pitfighters allowed to charge when they were within 1" of an enemy? Since that wasn't the enemy they charged?
Page 16 on the rulebook the black box about charging multiple enemies. There's was enough space to align but still touching stag knights so they are displaced 1" 😊
43:27 panic test for Harma, due to shooting into melee
32:51 Ravagers are Vicious (and give out a P token) as they were attacking a unit with more ranks
31:56 Hedges are not fortified, no bonuses to armour
Good stuff… I know hedges are rarely used, but as Ravagers pivot into it, they would love 1” from their 3” manouver
After the next Balance Patch that is coming soon you need to do a new Version of this Video
I also wondered why Rick never passed with an NCU? Did he not know the rule? He lost many activations due to that
Amazing game! Incredible how Queen’s men kept surviving and killing units 2vp each. It looked like a wipe out already when Drogon was on them! Wow! That really helped Rick to come back from bad deployment and play in the first 3 rounds (QM doing nothing as they were badly deployed, KM not engaging etc.)
1:01:27 no extra VP for destroying the commander’s unit unless by your opponent’s commander
Cheers Teemu. We discussed after, rookie error on our part. Thanks for watching!
@@YecatsminiaturesJames is not a rookie, right?
@@teemukujala201no, but he is a human and makes errors. Apologies from myself and James. I hope you could enjoy the rest of the video?
Certainly! No need for apologies
Great job, Grant & James! Videos like this are much needed (and much missed) in the community. Although the video format is long, it's a great faction introduction and pulse-check and I hope we continue to see more in this series!
Thanks Randall. They are very long, best enjoyed with a cup of tea and a comfy sofa! They're really fun to record, tedious to edit, but good to have around. Helps people understand and be inspired by some lesser seen units :) We will cover all factions in time. I'm excited, great to see you here! Hope you're keeping well!
Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing ❤
You're very welcome, thanks for checking out the video :)
Great video thanks gents
Very welcome David, its great to see you comment on another one of our videos. Appreciate your support.
Thank you Grant & James for the breakdown of the Targaryens. Its helped me loads and ive bought a few more units to help boost my list. 5* review.
Fantastic feedback! Thankyou. Wishing you all the best for your conquest of Westeros!
couldnt have wished for something better than a faction review. love to see it. thanks
Hope you enjoyed it. Was a great conversation!
Baked bean armour Can't unsee that now
House Bolton. House words - Our recycling is sharp
Loving the content, Grant. Good players, playing in the right spirit. Great to watch.
Thanks Rob. These should be dropping once per week on a Wednesday evening. Lots of great players down the club!
Thx for report.
Glad you liked it!! We’ll be dropping these once per week on Wednesday night.
Good to see another channel with Battle reports :D
Thanks szewster! We’ll be dropping these every Wednesday night with some luck.
Good game! Well done.
Cheers Dave. Aiming to drop these every Wednesday night. Be good to get you on one next time you’re up!
Rodrik's new ability let me get charge bonuses off a corpse pile. It was great.
14:30 Start Love these armies! My two favourite factions.
Buzzing for this !
Spread the word Kyle. Can’t wait to meet you guys! You still running Lannister?
I’m running Bolton’s for this one ! Coz I like a challenge 🤣
@@kylewebb525 awesome!!! I’m playing Bolton’s a lot lately. Still can’t get them to click. You’ll have to shoot me some tips
also, there are some old pictures on your video, for the previous location before they moved
this is my local! will be great to see you Grant!
Can’t wait to meet you mate. Going to be a great day! I can feel it in my bones
Sounds awesome, signed up with two other Wardens of the North-West
Wahey a community legend taking part! Can’t wait to see you there Brian!
Brand new player. Picked up the Lannisters and this video helped. I have a ton of trouble dealing with the dragons in Targaryans. Any suggestions on how to take them on?
they need a moral buff across the board their infantry units (
So... is two bastardgirls worth it... I.keep eyeing a second box...
Bolton's have two defensive units. Flayed Men can be a vanguard or support. The last 3 units are support. So keep in mind if you're getting two Girls you have two supports in your list taking 14 pts.
Boltons are really fun to play, everything is very flavorful
Great job, I really enjoyed this video. It makes me to want to play more Boltons... especially that bit about "skilled players want the challenge that Boltons present". Even if I lose, I'll take solace in knowing that I intentionally handicapped myself. 😆 All jokes aside, I've anecdotally had much better success with Boltons than their Stats numbers would suggest. They're a very fun faction and, when their mechanics work for you, they can be devastating to play against.
While it is possible to be more successfull than Stats may suggest, its still not possible to compete in a competetive enviroment. I would even say, that against an equally skilled player, no matter his faction, your handicaped at least. If opponent plays one of the top Factions I would say there is no chance to win :/ Edit: But they are really a fun faction, dont get me wrong. For beer and prezel, a round of bolton can be hilarious either way :)
Does Jeyne Poole and Walder Frey not give the initiative back to your opponent the turn after you steal it? I thought that it did but I’m also a newer player so maybe I’m wrong. Having first 5 turns in a row seems really good…
Initiative does return to the other player the following round. Basically you can take Initiative for 4 rounds out of 6, and games rarely make it to the 6th anyway.
My question is when everything is good or at least solid why did the faction perform overall only bad/mediocre? My only answer is that the underlying panic token mechanic is too weak, at least against some factions. Opinions?
the answer is...everything is not good or at least solid XD
In my last tournament I got steamrolled by a meta Lannister Mountain Imp, and a meta Night's Watch Stone Thrower. I did however won a game with 1 NCU double Flayed Men list.
This was a great vid! Boltons are what got me started in this game, grabbing my interest, so lovely to see a vid like this! Very insightful looking at everything! Don't suppose in the future you might take a look at what neutrals could add to a Bolton list? Curious now that they're available! Great vid!
Great video, Grant and Aaron! My brothers just started a Bolton army so good tips to take him down thanks 😂
Solid faction review! Gives me hope for greater things…. Had good fun with Steelshanks and a double bastard girl list today…. That rush of aggression is such a good card!
Thanks Karl! The double bastard girl list has mileage! There’s some decent stuff in the conversation. I’ve been list writing all afternoon! Haha
Ramsey Snow Spiteful Heir is my new love of the game. Immense Healing and Reek dishing out panic
I’m definitely going to give him a try in spears. Looking forward to it
Panic talking? 🤔
Hey Martin! Cheers for checking the video out. Panic talking? Have I spelled something wrong? 😂
@@Yecatsminiatures it was Aaron's Northern accent.. we pronounce it "Token" down here in Dorne 🤣🤣🤣
Haha! Awesome.
@@martinburke465 captions are always fun to have on any video I'm involved with! 😂
