For the final scenario of the tournament, I came up against Martells in Here We Stand. Not ideal for the light desert troopers, but what can you do. I had no idea regarding the finer points of the army, so I set up on the line and decided to ball.

Game 4: Free Folk vs Lannisters
Finally, an army I actually know: the Lannisters. Also a funky game mode: A Dance with Dragons. With the pairings prepared the evening before, I spent some time agonizing over lists. I deduced that the Lannisters wouldn't take their double Turncoat no mobility infantry list into this already reduced movement scenario, so I brought forth the double Spear Thrower Giant list. I was right, with two cavalry units on the other side of the field.
Game 3: Free Folk vs Baratheon
Game 3, A Clash of Kings, against double Thorn Watch Baratheons. Yay.
Game 2: Free Folk vs Stark
Against the Starks, I played Honed and Ready. Again like last time, but against a different player. Unlike the Baratheons, this list wasn't tailored against Giants.
Game 1: Free Folk vs Baratheon
Game 1 against the Baratheons: Fire and Blood. Ironically same as last time, although against a different player. Just one unit of Thorn Watch, which I did not mark because I have heard of them.

Fixing up large elementals
I got these second hand: the water elemental made by Reaper, the other two from the Dungeons & Dragons: Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game.
