Renly For the Iron Throne

Though Joffrey Baratheon currently sits on the Iron Throne, Robert’s brothers, Stannis and Renly, each feel that it should be them in that position. They have taken up arms in order to make a move on King’s Landing and assert themselves as the true heir. However, they are not teamed up to do this. They both feel the Iron Throne should be theirs and, as such, have torn House Baratheon in two. Everyone has had to choose sides in this house divided. The Baratheon Heroes #2 box set includes characters who have sworn loyalty to Renly. This new set will include a wealth of new options for House Baratheon players who have chosen to side with the younger Baratheon brother. Let’s take a look at just what comes inside.

House Baratheon is unique in the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game due to the House’s Loyalty rules. Different Characters will work for only one Baratheon brother or the other, and players aren’t able to mix Loyalties in their forces. So, if they choose to have an army that follows Renly, then only characters and units that are Loyal to him (or those that don’t have any Loyalty rules at all, like the House’s main-line units) may be fielded. This limiting of options means players will have to get creative with their builds. But it also means that those whose Loyalties lie together generally have good synergy between them.
