Both the Dothraki Horse Lords and the Unsullied have pledged to follow House Targaryen and their leader, Daenerys, the Mother of Dragons, into Westeros so that she can reclaim the Iron Throne, as is her birthright. While the Dothraki and Unsullied have vastly different styles of fighting and command, they are both extremely effective. With powerful allies at her side, there is quite a strong chance that Daenerys will be in control of Kings Landing eventually.

The Unsullied have one of the most difficult training regimens of any unit. Only about one in three survives to the end. However, those that do are swordsmen of unparalleled skill. Though they look slight compared to most western swordsmen, that does not mean they’re not as strong or effective on the battlefield. When joined with an officer, their skills are only enhanced, trading blow-for-blow with any foe. The Unsullied Swordsmen unit box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives Targaryen players an effective melee unit on the field. Their melee attacks hit at the weak points in enemy armor, granting numerous bonuses when they strike. The Officer Unit Attachment adds to their strengths, trading wounds with the enemy when being attacked, making this unit able to dish out wounds both when attacking and on the defensive.

The great houses in Westeros are used to certain doctrines when it comes to warfare. But elsewhere, many other styles and strategies are utilized. In the Old Empire of Ghis, the Unsullied Pikemen are an elite unit that, while they don’t wear the heavy armor of many units from across the sea, they are every bit as defensive. Marching in lock step with their shields forming a formidable shield wall, they can form a strong middle to any battle line. The Unsullied Pikemen unit box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Targaryen players a strong, central unit for their armies. The unit might not have the thickest armor, but their training with their shields and pikes makes them a tough nut to crack for enemy forces. Once set in place, the Unsullied Pikemen will be nigh-impossible to fight off of an objective.

As formidable as the Direwolves of House Stark, the Hrakkars, white lions from across the sea, are dangerous when out in their natural habitat. It takes great skill to kill one, but the true test of a khal is to actually subdue, capture, and tame one of these majestic beasts. If this mighty task is accomplished, the Dothraki gain a new weapon in war that is nearly unmatched in combat. The Dothraki Hrakkars box set for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Targaryen players a fierce animal warrior and its handler for their armies. The lion and its handler work as one, using fangs, claws, and blades to slash their enemies to pieces. Even enemies clad in heavy armor have much to fear from these foes. They are also master ambush hunters, able to suddenly strike from where the enemy least expects it.

In far-off Essos, Queen Daenerys Targaryen rules over a court rife with intrigue. But while her subjects may involve themselves in plot after plot against each other (and indeed against the Queen herself), they stand united against their enemies in the field. With advisors and councilors such as Mirri Maz Duur, Hizdahr Zo Loraq, the scribe Missandei, and the mysterious Quaithe, the Dragon Queen sows confusion upon her enemies, while her commanders Marselen and Skahaz Mo Kandaq keep their troops in line, both by example and the whip’s bloody lash.

As Daenerys Targaryen sweeps across Essos with her Dothraki army, she has been freeing thousands of slaves as she defeats those that stand against her. It was not originally her intention to have them join her army, but many have willingly taken up arms and are eager to help their liberators conquer more territory. However, this rag-tag group of fighters aren’t officially outfitted or trained. They carry simple farming implements turned into arms. They are clad in nothing but the rags on their backs. However, they can still turn the tide of a battle if placed where needed at the right time. The Freedmen unit box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Targaryen players a new option for their forces. While the Freedmen aren’t the strongest fighters on the field, they are able to plug gaps in battle lines and hold back enemies hopefully long enough for more seasoned and better equipped fighters to help them out. When seconds matter in a battle, the Freedmen can give House Targaryen the time they need.

The Dothraki Outriders are generally used as scouting forces, using their superior riding skills to spy on the enemy and ascertain the best way for the main army to attack. But once the battle has started, a whole new facet of the unit becomes apparent: they’re also master archers. Archers are generally slower units in an army. Obviously, that’s not the case when your archer is also a master rider. The Dothraki Outriders Unit Box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Targaryen players a swift ranged force for their army. These lightly armored mounted troops make full use of their horses both before and after raining arrows down on their opponents. With their great speed, the Dothraki Outriders can reach out and deal damage to enemies normally considered safe along the back lines of an army. Enemy commanders will have a difficult time pinning down these highly mobile troops.

A Dothraki is effectively born in the saddle. From the earliest age, they learn to ride, becoming the greatest horsemen in the land. After many battles, these horsemen have honed their skills to perfection. Their mastery of swordsmanship, archery, and riding is surpassed by none. In combat, they are a triple threat of strength, speed, and range. The Dothraki Veterans unit box gives House Targaryen players a multi-faceted new threat to add to their armies. These warriors have trained their abilities to the max, able to perform attacks at range and in close combat. When attacking with their shortbows, they can follow it up with a devastating charge. However, the Dothraki eschew heavy armor, so a good commander will make sure the Veterans are in and out of combat before an enemy has a chance for a retaliatory strike.

The warrior ways of the Dothraki might make them appear as simple barbarian savages, screaming into the sky as they charge into battle. And many commanders have underestimated them because of those stereotypes. A Dothraki will spend more time on their horse than they will off of it, and with that experience comes skill that regular training will never achieve. Despite being unarmored, it is still difficult for a trained swordsman to land a significant hit on a mounted Dothraki. The Dothraki Screamers unit box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives Targaryen commanders a solid cavalry unit for their forces. These fearsome fighters can charge quickly into battle, dealing out deadly blows. Skilled commanders will use them as a lightning-fast strike force, avoiding getting them into protracted combats, lest their fewer numbers start to catch up with them.
