Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Each GEORGE R. R. MARTIN BOX will include a Special Collectible Edition of the 20th Anniversary Edition of Martin’s A Game of Thrones, the first book in his international bestselling fantasy series. This Collectible Edition is not available in stores and will include an alternate cover printed on special materials as well as a full-color insert of all illustrations from the 20th Anniversary Edition. Three great storylines weave through the books, charting the civil war for control of the Seven Kingdoms; the defence of the towering Wall of ice in the uttermost north against the unearthly threat of the Others; and across the Narrow Sea the rise to power of Daenerys Targaryen and the last live dragons in the world.
The core units included follow this theme. The Wardens are solid and slow infantry. The Stag Knights are heavy hitters who gain power as the battle goes on. The sentinels are your light troops(although heavy by light troop standards) and have a slightly better movement. It is a little stale in terms of tactics as the units with the exception of the sentinels lean heavily into the slow and heavy side of things and they are all foot infantry. This is however a useful loadout for learning the core Baratheon playstyle and get a feel for how the faction plays out. It is also useful for figuring out which allegiance you want to invest in. The Baratheons second defining faction trait is that they are split into two camps of allegiance. One follows the upstart Renly and features the core Baratheon troop roster with the addition of Tyrell troops which bring a level of speed and healing. The other camp follows the ‘true’ king Stannis and his R’hllor faith. Stannis’s force is expanded with fanatical troops are more diehard Baratheon supporters such as the Kingsmen and R’hollor lightbringers. He is also the author of a song for Lya, songs of stars and shadows, the Armageddon rag, portraits of his children, the sworn sword, the princess and the queen and a clash of kings. The Baratheon starter is a great way to get into the ASOIAF miniatures game for one player. It contains an entire contained force of typical size for standard games but also have a good range of customization and variety within this as you can swap around attachments and take different commander/ncu combinations.

Customer reviews
There is also a minor complaint towards the design of the units. Almost every single infantryman is equipped with a hammer. In some cases a big hammer and in other cases even two hammers at once. It is an interesting decision and although there is a precedent for Robert Baratheon using his War Hammer in the books for an entire army it seems to be overkill and it would have been nice to see some swords instead but this is purely personal preference and it does make them distinct from the other armies as a glance.
