House Baratheon’s doctrine of heavy arms and heavier armor serves well to make their force into a walking fortress. Difficult to assault and deadly to ignore, enemies find themselves in a conundrum, particularly against lines incorporating Halberdiers. The traditional weakness against cavalry shared by most infantry is nullified. Further, a cavalry or flanking force that hesitates in their charge against the Baratheon lines opens themselves up to weaknesses that a good commander can exploit. Many creative means of destroying the enemy become available to commanders that employ Halberdiers in their composition. VANGUARD DEFENDERS: Bolster your House Baratheon army with the formidable Baratheon Halberdiers unit. HIGHLY DETAILED MINIATURES: Exquisite pre-assembled miniatures, ready for immediate play and customization. WALKING FORTRESS: House Baratheon's heavy arms and armor doctrine creates an unassailable force. CAVALRY NEUTRALIZERS: Nullify the traditional weakness against cavalry with the deadly Halberdiers. TACTICAL ADVANTAGE: Exploit creative means to destroy enemies with this versatile unit in your composition.

For most armies, the armor worn by the Baratheon Sentinels would count them as heavy infantry. But for House Baratheon, they only are classified as medium infantry. Still, their resilient plate mail can turn away most attacks, while their warhammers make quick work of enemies out on the field. The Baratheon Sentinels Unit Box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Baratheon commanders a new melee unit for their forces. Simple and straightforward, the Sentinels head into battle confident in the power of their armor. On the attacking side of the coin, the Sentinel’s double warhammers can crush enemies under the weight of their mighty blows, easily sundering enemy armor.
