They can’t take a hit and if you are tempted to build an army out of them you’ll find you just get crushed on the counterswing. Healing doesn’t save them either, it’s inefficient to heal something so fragile and they’ll tap your resources too quickly. If you bring one it’s as a hammer unit to go alongside your heavy infantry anvil. The problem comes when, upon looking at Euon, you think that Intimidating Presence means you need to build a panic bomb list around him.

'Game Of Thrones' Brings Danish Actor Pilou Asbaek Into House Greyjoy.

Song of Ice and Fire Faction Focus: House Greyjoy Tactics
Impressed with Theon's loyalty, Ramsay has him resume his identity as Theon Greyjoy to gain entry to Moat Cailin, a fortress occupied by Ironborn that is preventing Roose Bolton's forces from returning North. Theon promises that Ramsay will give the Ironborn amnesty if they surrender, but Ramsay goes back on his word and has the garrison flayed. Afterwards, Theon accompanies Ramsay (now legitimized as a Bolton) and the rest of House Bolton as they move to occupy Winterfell. Theon is taken captive and tortured in an unknown castle, but later manages to escape with the help of a serving boy who claims to work for Yara.
Aegon I’s Conquest
However, on reaching the Iron Islands, he learns that many things have changed, including his position as heir, as Balon made Asha his heir. Upon delivering Robb’s message to his father, Balon rejects the offer and declares himself the self-proclaimed King of the Iron Islands. Balon sends his brother, Victarion, to capture Moat Cailin and his daughter to capture Deepwood Motte. To make his father proud, Theon harries the Stony Shore with supervision from Aeron and Dagmer Cleftjaw. After Aegon the Conqueror subdued the Iron Islands, he allowed the Ironborn to continue their culture.
Rodrik Greyjoy
Jon grabs Theon by the lapels and furiously tells him that his life is only being spared since he helped save Sansa. Introduced in 1996's A Game of Thrones, Theon subsequently appeared in A Clash of Kings (1998) and A Dance with Dragons (2011), in which he is reintroduced as “Reek”, the tortured victim of Ramsay Bolton. He is one of the major third person points-of-view through which Martin narrates both books. Lord Reaper of Pyke around 210 AL, Dagon was the last ruler of the Iron Islands who was able to threaten the entire western shore of Westeros until Euron Greyjoy took the Seastone Chair. Chosen by the Ironborn to rule them after the death of Harren the Black.
She’s one of the best characters in the game and defines the faction. It’s the feeling of pouring endless necromantic healing into your skeleton legions; of keeping your soldiers on the brink of death but never dead, and always on the verge of surging back. It has no cavalry, no war machines, and synergizes badly with mercenaries. It’s an awkward state for the faction to be in which I believe will totally turn around when they finally release the damn ballista. Theon asks his sister Yara to bring reinforcements, but instead she arrives with a paltry force to warn Theon of his untenable position and to return to the Iron Islands. Theon refuses, and soon afterwards Winterfell is besieged by men of House Bolton commanded by (the then unnamed) Ramsay Snow, the sadistic bastard son of Lord Roose Bolton.
Your units will perpetually be on their weakest profiles because they have no pillage tokens. Lord Quellon Greyjoy attempted to reintegrate the Ironborn into the mainland houses. He was, however, killed late on during Robert's Rebellion, and his son and heir, Balon, objected to his father's reforms, and built the Iron Fleet. He then went into open rebellion against King Robert I Baratheon.
This is a guy who waited until the moment of rescue to attack, spent the bulk of the battle pacing the sideline with Belichickian disdain, and then, when the day was his, gazed upon the losers and basically gave them one of these. We don’t even know the dude’s name, but he’s already the biggest and best villain in a show lousy with them. Ramsay is a monster, sure, but Edgar is a force of fucking nature. Wendamyr is the second best NCU in the faction, though he’s at his best as the third NCU where he competes directly against a unit of Drowned Men. He lets you bank mediocre tactics zones for later and is one of the only ways to enhance mobility of a very slow faction. Oh, and he’s another source of healing, and one with extremely permissive timing and range.
If a unit is destroyed on turn 2, which is already unlikely, and Balon is already on the board, he brings it back on turn 3, and it doesn’t get to activate again until turn 4. If that sequence starts on turn 3 his unit might get its next activation on turn 5. Potentially invaluable against blowout units like lance cavalry or Mag the Mighty, but a finicky thing to get the timing right for. At the beginning of turn two you have Bless With Stone, Bless With Steel, Raiding Call, The Iron Price, We Do Not Sow and What Is Dead May Never Die in hand.
Rodrik Harlaw is a way to mill your tactics cards for the right things, but I’ve never felt for his lack. The Greyjoy deck is so roundly good that I find I rarely have a hand full of things I can’t use. Put this into a unit that Dagmer is engaging with Gang Up and you’ll get a blowout the likes of which normally only Free Folk see. Lust for Glory is also a good way to safeguard a unit of Ironmakers after they use Iron Price to heal themselves up.
There he is reunited with Asha, who initially does not recognise him. Ramsay imprisons Theon in the Dreadfort's dungeons and tortures him, though most of the Ironborn believed that Theon is dead. At some point, Theon manages to escape with his former bedwarmer, Kyra, though this turns out to be a trick of Ramsay's and the two are soon recaptured and as a result, Kyra gets killed.
As is often the case, the sordid new story only increased the house’s profile and market value. Its transformation from private family home into hip showplace had already happened in 2001, when flamboyant real estate entrepreneur Xorin Balbes bought the home from the Mazur family for $1.2 million. In 1945, Dr. George Hodel purchased the already iconic house, which was so confusing to most average mortals. The suave, brilliant doctor's VD clinic catered to many elite Angelenos, and his friends included Surrealist artist Man Ray and director John Huston.
You can threaten the table early with ranged pressure, the swords zone is always live, and you never need to live in fear of advancing into enemy archers you can’t claim the swords away from. Maybe they’ll get lucky, the enemy will fail a panic check, and you’ll have an early extra pillage token. Moqorro as the Slave of R’hllor is an interesting two point attachment; that’s another source of healing and it works nicely with Incite letting him get the most out of a unit he’s drained for healing. The reason I don’t rate him is that House Greyjoy has Raiding Call in the base deck, meaning they can already harvest a backline unit for bodies. As Master of the Iron Victory I am concerned he’s a bit of a trap.
