A Song Of Ice & Fire

Former knights of renown both great and small, the Brotherhood’s Sworn Knights are among the most skilled in all of Westeros, lured away from their lords by a greater calling. As such, they’re nigh unbreakable, and often serve as the force around which many Brotherhood battles are designed. While terrain will usually dictate their employment, a Brotherhood commander who can set up for their deadly charge will see victory more often than not.

Brotherhood without Banners players will get a whole host of new NCUs, attachments and commanders to include in their. They gain powerful new commanders that provide a new way to construct their armies and new attachments that could synergize well with existing strategies too. They also gain more NCUs with powerful abilities that could alter the flow of the battle.

House Baratheon’s doctrine of heavy arms and heavier armor serves well to make their force into a walking fortress. Difficult to assault and deadly to ignore, enemies find themselves in a conundrum, particularly against lines incorporating Halberdiers. The traditional weakness against cavalry shared by most infantry is nullified. Further, a cavalry or flanking force that hesitates in their charge against the Baratheon lines opens themselves up to weaknesses that a good commander can exploit. Many creative means of destroying the enemy become available to commanders that employ Halberdiers in their composition.

House Tully are one of the Starks’ most stalwart allies, and their heavily armed and armoured cavalry are invaluable assets to the Wardens of the North. Equipped with heavy weapons designed specifically for cavalry, they gain multiple bonuses when Charging.

The House Lannister Starter Set for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game is a perfect starting place for players looking to don the red and gold in battle. It has everything they might need, from figures and stat cards to dice and rulebooks. Lannister Guardsmen and Halberdiers, along with a unit of Clegane Brigands make up the troops. Meanwhile, characters like Jaime, Cersei, and Tyrion Lannister, along with “The Mountain that Rides” Gregor Clegane alter the battlefield in their own way. A complete set, the faction is ready to play right out of the box.

House Martell’s famous Sunspear Royal Guards are few in number but count among the best-trained units across all of Westeros. Their adaptive style lends itself well to both offensive and defensive initiatives, and while their armor is heavier than most Martell units, their physical conditioning allows them to keep pace. As a hard center to a Martell vanguard, the Royal Guards have no match in Martell forces, and their flexibility lets them seize the initiative on the field as the tide of battle shifts.

The Ironmakers Unit Box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game give House Greyjoy players a heavy infantry unit around which they can form the rest of their army. Their tough armor does them well on the battlefield.

Though they look slight compared to most western swordsmen, that does not mean the Unsullied are not as strong or effective on the battlefield. When joined with an officer, their skills are only enhanced, trading blow-for-blow with any foe.
