It doesn’t take well-armed and armored troops to create an army.
 

Overview

With little training and crude weapons of bone and scavenged iron or steel, the Free Folk Raiders offer only one thing to counter advanced Westerosi arms and armor: multitudes. Encounters with Raider warbands in the south have left most Westerosi commanders with little notion of Free Folk numbers north of the Wall. It’s true that in small units, they’re little more than armed peasants. However, under the Free Folk banner, they’re an army.

Tactical Points

• Free Folk Raiders put "swarm" in "Swarm Tactics"! Being the cheapest unit in the game at 3 points, their ranks can fill your deploy zone entirely!
• The Free Folk Raiders can be considered 'expendable' as they won't grant enemy commanders victory points for dealing wounds.

Keep an eye for the Raiders' "Gang-up" ability, that gives them +1 to hit when attacking an enemy engaged with another friendly unit.
