ASOIAF: Baratheon – Wardens — Unit Expansion

House Baratheon’s battle doctrine is fairly simple: be strong like iron. They outfit their troops in heavy armor at every level and arm them with the House’s signature warhammer. While this heavy kit does slow down troop movements, the tenacity of their defenses can usually see them through. The Baratheon Wardens are the main infantry unit that the House uses, fielding many ranks of these rough and rugged fighters.

The Baratheon Wardens unit box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Baratheon commanders a tough, resilient set of troops for their forces. Clad in plate mail and carrying heavy shields, they have a good Defense Save stat, though all of that does slow them down. Their heavy warhammer attacks can crush the enemy’s spirit as much as it can crush their bones. Defending against these pounding attacks can leave enemy troops gasping for air as the strength is sucked from them.

Tactical points

• With a great Defense of 3+ and their ability to place Weakened tokens when attacking make the Wardens perfect for attrition.
• Their movement of 4” is below average and players should commit to where they want to move.
• The Master Warden attachment with his Order “Stand Your Ground!” allows you to cancel an enemies bonuses for Charge, Flank, and Rear!
