About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to add a heavy-hitting cavalry unit to your force in 'A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game' with the House Bolton Flayed Men unit box! These guys mean business, bringing the most heavily armored unit you'll see on the battlefield. Just imagine: knights and their horses clad in incredibly heavy plate armor, the kind only the most robust steeds can bear. They might not be the fastest cavalry Westeros has ever seen, but they more than make up for it with absurd resilience, making them a mobile wall that's tough to bring down.
And it's not just their defense that's impressive! The Flayed Men come armed with sinister war flails, featuring spiked balls that seem to ignore any enemy defenses, wrapping around limbs or curving over shields with ease. This means that once they get close, damage is guaranteed. As a Neutral unit, the big advantage is that the Flayed Men can be recruited by any army willing to pay their price, offering incredible tactical flexibility for Commanders. If you're looking for a unit that can take a beating, stay on the battlefield for a long time, and still deal significant damage, this expansion is a must-have. They are the definition of 'tough as nails' and will make your opponents think twice before facing the Bolton fury!
