The Night’s Watch is Ever Vigilant

The Night’s Watch valiantly stands against anything that might threaten Westeros. They fearlessly man The Wall, ever-vigilant against the horrors further north. They are sworn brothers, forsaking any life they might have had before joining up. They are a battle-hardened force unlike any other. While the life they lead is certainly dangerous, those that survive become paragons of combat as Veterans of the Watch. They will soon be making their way to tabletops in the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game. Let’s take a look at what Night’s Watch commanders can expect out of these tried and tested warriors.

The Veterans of the Watch are not a cheap unit to field, coming in at eight points. But what do commanders get with such a cost? They have a moderate speed of five, having trained hard with their armor, and are able to carry the load without difficulty. Speaking of armor, it’s some of the best that can be found in Westeros. The Veterans of the Watch have a respectable Defense Save of 3+, meaning most hits they take will be turned aside. With their Morale value at a 5+, they are also very hard to break in combat. All that training and combat experience really pays off when it comes to keeping a unit’s resolve out on the battlefield.
