About the game

What you do in a play session

In the heat of battle in Westeros, the key to victory is to outmaneuver your opponent without being outmaneuvered yourself. If you can attack and avoid retaliation, you're halfway to triumph! For House Stark, this means relying on skilled bowmen in their ranks. These warriors, forged by years of training as trappers, rangers, and hunters, now unite to unleash deadly arrows against the foes of the Direwolf. The 'A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game – Stark Bowmen' unit box offers a crucial long-range option for Stark commanders. While they aren't the most resilient in melee combat and possess light armor, they more than make up for this disadvantage with their impressive ability to unleash volleys of arrows. The coolest part is that they can even ignore line of sight requirements, arcing their arrows high into the air to strike at hidden targets. This expansion is essential for anyone looking to add a tactical layer of ranged attack and battlefield control to their Stark forces, ensuring no enemy is truly safe.
