I think Hightower army infantry composed of (strictly speaking of models):
Warriors Sons
Poor Fellows
Queens Men
Rose Knights
Lannister Guardsmen with head swaps
Riders of Highgarden
The Targaryens (Blacks) would be:
Tully Sworn Shields (with fish filed off, imagine how cool that armor would look in black)
Bolton blackguard
NW Vets
Thorn Guard
Lannister Guardsmen
Rhllor Faithful
Again, I'm just talking about the aesthetics of the models and what fits the factions in my mind.
That's two solid lists. The only thing I would feel some hesitation over is the inclusion of Faith troops into the lists. Remember that the Faith Rebellion is well into the past and with it the disbandment of both military orders of the Faith, so no Poor Fellows or Warrior's Sons.

We are of one mind here. While my obssessive enjoyment of the setting and lore has cooled since a couple of years ago, I would also love to see the game expand beyond the War of Five Kings.

I think you could pretty easily just change the graphics on the cards and the names and have a pretty cool general fantasy setting keeping existing army units in the same faction.
Free Folk become Goblins/Orcs
Baratheon become Dwarves
Targaryen become Barbarian horde
The Noble Lannisters (maybe Martell's?) are High Elves
Nights Watch are Wood Elves
Starks are humans
But I do think an official adaptation of the system into a broader fantasy rank and flank game using their existing assets seems like a home run. The system is just so excellent.
I'm with you. It would be pretty interesting if this would happen as it would mirror the development of the
RPG system. First we got a solid
RPG system for Westeros, and once the license expired the same system was updated into a generic fantasy setting with a focus on noble intrigue a la Game of Thrones (but with rules for Dwarfs, Elves etc.) under a new name.
