Challenge Can General Grievous and 500 droids take over Westeros?

General Grievous spawns in Westeros with an army of 500 droids during the events of season 1 of Game of Thrones. His objective is to take the Iron Throne and destroy all who are in his way of completing said objective

For the sake of the prompt, the use the following: - Grievous himself has all canon feats, no legends - His army consists of 250 super battle droids and 250 destroyer droids - He does not need to necessarily kill everyone and everything in order to achieve his objectives but must eliminate all threats - Westeros will not unite against him entirely, but some alliances could form against him - Grievous and his droids must be defeated, for the sake of the prompt they have unlimited charge/power

The guns aren’t even the important part. It’s that the Westerosi have nothing that can harm a droid. 500 humans with AR-15’s even with infinite ammo probably don’t get it done. Even if they dominate every battle they’re going to lose at least a few to arrows each time and slowly lose on attrition.

If clones are able to physically rip off B1s and Tactical Droid heads without much trouble - evidenced in canon CW tv show, then I can’t imagine even a B2 taking a cavalry charge.

Biggest problem would be droidekas. I don’t think there is much Westeros could do other than some sort of avalanche/pit trap. I suppose stairs? Haven’t seen them traverse anything other than completely flat ground.

Another question - how does water do against SW droids? I’d imagine they are waterproof, but at the end of the day, months and weeks of slugging around I’d imagine battle damage and wear and tear would create vulnerabilities but that’s complete speculation on my end
