About the Game
Normally, any dedicated ranged unit is entirely dependent on others if the enemy closes into melee range. Not such with the Thorn Watch. These crossbowmen have also trained extensively with longswords and while they aren’t a match for most, at least they won’t simply disintegrate if someone can get in melee range.
The Thorn Watch Unit Box gives House Baratheon commanders who are backing Renly a versatile ranged unit for their army. Skilled with crossbows that can puncture enemy armor with ease, they are also able to hold their own in melee. Plus, they have ways to break away, meaning they can once more ready a deadly hail of bolts upon foes. With a Thorn Watch Sentinel attachment, the unit gains staying power, as well as more freedom of movement on the battlefield.
Tactical points
Due to their Crossbows being in Short Range, try to make use of the Thorn Watch’s Movement Speed of 6 to stay out of your opponent’s front arch.
Despite being a ranged unit, the Thorn Watch can hold their own in Melee if necessary.
With the Abilities Swift Strike and Regroup, the Thorn Watch can quickly disengage and restore Wounds without losing their chance to Attack!
Highly Detailed Figures
The Thorn Watch are represented on the battlefield by highly detailed, pre-assembled, colored plastic miniature figures.
Battle Ready
With the models, the Unit Attachment figure, stat cards for both, and their movement tray, the Thorn Watch are ready to hit the battlefield right out of the box.
Versatile Figures
With their training in both melee and ranged attacks, the Thorn Watch can go just about anywhere and truly become a thorn in the side of those in the way of Renly Baratheon from sitting on the Iron Throne.
