A Song of Ice & Fire Miniature Game Starter Set Unboxing

Had a very large shipment arrive on Friday!

VERY large shipment.  On Saturday, another large shipment (about the size of the box on the bottom) arrived, with a terrain pack (I'll do a picture of that later).  Seems my Kickstarter reward for A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game has finally arrived!

This is pretty exciting for all of the backers of the game, and with the retail release coming next month, it's looking to be a pretty exciting time for fans of the series.

I figured I'd do some posts about the contents of the game and various expansions, in case anyone is interested.  So, let's start with the Starter Set!
 Good looking box, with a lot of depth (as you can see in the first photo.  Opening up, we are presented with this:
 That is a rulebook, which looks very interesting...
A bunch of tokens and terrain (which will be largely replaced by the terrain set that I'll show in a later post).
I believe the item on top of this is the Tactics Board, which is a unique element in this game.  Looking under these, we start to see the miniatures included.
Quite a lot in here.  We see a pack of cards with Unit Cards (and a terrain card).

There are 9 Combat Cards included in the game.  Packed under those were 10 Objective cards.
Also included are a bunch of dice- 10 black dice, and a white d3 die!
There are plenty more cards included in this game, clearly.
Included in this are 4 NCU (Non-Combat Unit) Cards, 14 Attachment Cards, 52 Tactics Cards, 12 Siege Cards, and 20 Secret Mission Cards (according to the rulebook).  Looks like there will be a lot of depth to this game!
A whole lot of movement trays- 1 solo tray, 7 infantry, and 1 cavalry.
And of course, the game comes with a BUNCH of miniatures.  The quality of the plastic for these is quite nice, and they really do seem to hold quite a lot of detail.  Very nicely done!

Let's look at some of the Stark ones first (48 total).
Looking at one of the plastic containers in the box, with a bunch of Stark miniatures.
A Stark Outrider
Banner for the Stark Sworn Swords
A Stark Sworn Sword Captain, a Sworn Sword, an Umber Berserker, Greatjon Umber, and Catelyn Stark
And now we'll take a look at some of the Lannister ones (55 total).
Assault Veteran, Mountain's Man, Lannister Guardsman, Ser Gregor Clegane, and Tyrion Lannister
Apparently I got tired of taking pictures?  Anyway, there's a lot of great stuff in this box, and it looks like it will be a blast when I finally get into it.  I know Dan, locally, got into the Kickstarter as well, so I should have an opponent.  I'll make sure to post when I play!

Next time, I'll open up and expansion, and we'll see what's inside!
