About the Game
When it comes to House Lannister, they spare no expense on those that take up arms for the House. The Red Cloaks are the Lannister’s elite guards that patrol the streets in both King’s Landing and Casterly Rock. Their resplendent red cloaks, their signature feature, is colored not just because it’s a House color, but as a show of intimidation to the populace. “Stay in line, or the Red Cloaks will come after you.”
The Red Cloaks unit box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Lannister players a new medium infantry unit for their force. The Red Cloaks are armored in half-plate, the best that money can buy for mass production. This gives them a modicum of defense, able to turn away blows from all but the strongest enemy soldiers. Being paid well also serves them on the battlefield, as they know they don’t want to lose that next paycheck.
Tactical points
With their Fearless Avarice ability, the Red Cloaks suffer less wounds from Panic Tests. As long as you control the Wealth Zone on the Tactics Board.
Their offensive edge comes through the Lannister Justice ability. But once again you must control a Zone on the Tactics Board, in this case the Crown Zone.
Red Cloaks work best when activating later during the Round, once the Tactics Zones they require have been controlled by the Lannister NCUs.
Highly Detailed Miniatures
The Red Cloaks are represented on the tabletop with pre-assembled, highly-detailed miniature figures.
Everything Included
The unit box contains the unit, their movement tray, and stat card, giving players everything they need to fight on the battlefield right away.
New Options
As a mid-strength melee unit, the Red Cloaks will give House Lannister players a versatile new force for their armies.
