HOUSE BARATHEON "STANNIS" OVERVIEW - A Song of Ice and Fire: The Miniatures Game - S06 w/Belisarius

"What does Stannis offer you? Vengeance. Vengeance for my sons and yours, for your husbands and your fathers and your brothers. Vengeance for your murdered lord, your murdered king, your butchered princes. Vengeance!" - Davos Seaworth

At the forefront of each Baratheon bannerman’s mind is the knowledge they serve one of the greatest tacticians of all Westeros, Stannis Baratheon. Not only a great leader on land, every fibre of Stannis is wrought with superior generalship. Even beating the Ironborn at sea during the Greyjoy rebellion, crushing Victarion Greyjoy at his own game.

Where the Tyrell bolstered ranks of the Renly loyalty faction are very much the anvil, the Rhllor inspired ranks of Stannis loyalty are very much the flame wreathed hammer, here to bludgeon the non believers into ash. Bringing with them, their own faith mechanic and self sacrificial playstyle.

Im much the same way as his brother, Stannis loyalty will give you access to three versions of the man himself. Stannis the rightful heir, the Rhllor fanatical Stannis - One True King and the mounted behemoth that is Stannis - King on the wall. But behind every good man is a powerful woman, and Stannis is no exception being able to call support from the Red Priestess Melisandre to baptise her foes with flame, not to mention his Queen and daughter Selyse and Shireen.
