“A lion may be fierce enough on land, but at sea the kraken rules supreme.” - Victarion Greyjoy

Bannermen! Soon the full might of House Greyjoy will arrive along the shores of Westeros, ushering with them a horde of ruthless raiders and cunning captains all eager to claim the crown for themselves!

When people along the coast see the banner of the Kraken, they pray that the Blacktyde Chosen aren’t the ones coming ashore. Not your average raider, the Blacktyde Chosen are kitted out in more sturdy armor, large round shields, and armed with master crafted axes. Their extensive training means they can take charge of a situation, no matter what it is.

The Blacktyde Chosen unit box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Greyjoy players a robust unit for their armies. The unit’s extensive training with their master crafted axes means they can cut apart enemy forces with ease. And their resiliency can see them coming back time and again, even if an opponent once counted them out. Plus, they care nothing for the spoils of war, letting other Greyjoy units collect the loot.

Overview

The Kraken brings the tides, or is it the other way round? The fact is that no Westerosi coast is truly safe and the Greyjoys may just appear at your doorstep! Greyjoy Heroes 2 brings an impressive array of Greyjoy leaders and followers alike, such as Asha Greyjoy, Baelor Blacktyde, and Moqorro.

Tactical Points

• Bealor Blacktyde, Lord of Blacktyde is a great Commander for fighting at lower Ranks. A savvy player may use the Greyjoy’s generally lower defense values along with Baelor’s Abilities and Tactics Cards to their advantage.
• Asha Greyjoy, Would-be Queen’s Influence Ability is great to further capitalize on a unit’s pillage tokens, making them more likely to pass Morale Tests and suffer less Wounds if they fail a Panic Test.
• Moqorro, Slave of R’hllor is a powerfull Attachment that can bolster his own unit with his Order: Incite, as well as supporting friendly units with his Order: Supply Aid.

House Greyjoy’s influence spreads like the tentacles of the kraken that adorns their banners. While most of their ranks consist of hit-and-run melee units, they know that a force lacking in ranged support is like a fish on a hook. As such, they recruit from their own Ironborn Reavers, teaching them the art of archery and turning them into the Ironborn Bowmen. These archers are equipped with moderate armor, and their previous melee training means they’re not helpless if enemies close in on their position.

The Ironborn Bowmen unit box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Greyjoy players a ranged unit to support their other troops. They excel in dealing with enemies from the flanks, peppering them with arrows. As they lay waste to enemies, it’s their allies that benefit in more ways than one, able to pick up the spoils left behind from defeated foes.

Every House requires troops of all types in the wars that happen throughout Westeros. Allied with House Greyjoy, House Ironmaker’s heaviest are the ones that bear their name, the Ironmakers. They wear heavy scale armor over boiled leather, letting them turn most blows aside. Though not as heavily armored as some of House Baratheon or Lannister’s forces, they still form a strong center for any battle line. 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. However, it’s their ability to quickly grab loot from fallen foes that set them apart. The unit only gets more defensive as they destroy opposing units. Any foes that break on them like waves on the shoreline will only further fuel the Ironmaker’s might.
