Step into the vibrant world of Sigmar’s Free Cities, where humans stand shoulder to shoulder with duardin, aelves, and even second-generation ogors, forging a unique cosmopolitan harmony. The upcoming Battletome: Cities of Sigmar brings a dynamic twist to army construction, introducing a myriad of possibilities for assembling a powerful and diverse force.
Diverse Forces Unite
In these bustling cities, humans comprise the majority of the population and form the core of Sigmar’s mortal armies. However, they are not alone on the battlefield. Dwarven duardin, agile aelves, and even ogors join the ranks, showcasing the unity and strength of diverse races fighting side by side.
Castelite Formation and Swift Cavalry
The human component of the Free Cities’ war machine employs the revolutionary Castelite formation – a mobile fortress armed with crenellated shield walls and black-powder guns. Swift cavalry units like Dark Riders come to the forefront when speed and agility are required. These Shadow Raiders, with their remarkable speed of 14″, can retreat, charge, or fire in the same turn, exploiting enemy disarray with +1 hit rolls.
Aelven Swiftness and Unique Orders
Aelves boast exceptional swiftness, a valuable asset on the battlefield. Aelven commanders capitalize on this advantage by issuing unique orders. While adhering to standard Cities of Sigmar orders, aelven heroes can also bestow unique directives such as “Strike Them Down,” granting strike-first effects to charged CITIES OF SIGMAR AELF units.
Dwarven Resilience and Grudges
Duardin, known for their steadfastness, fight with a slow-burning fury that anchors Cities of Sigmar armies. The Form Shieldwall order bolsters duardin troops with a 5+ ward and the strike-last effect. Ironbreakers units under this order form Gromril Shieldwalls, elevating their ward save to 4+. Warden Kings lead the Dispossessed with an exceptional ability – Ancestral Grudgebearer – allowing them to keep a grievance alive, granting a unique advantage when targeting specific enemy units.
Unified Multiracial Forces
Cities of Sigmar armies are an amalgamation of diverse forces. Sorceresses atop Black Dragons, Gryobombers creating chaos, and units like Freeguild Steelhelms, Bleakswords, and Longbeards join forces in campaigns, showcasing the unity and strength of multiracial cooperation.
Cities of Sigmar Army Set
The eagerly awaited Battletome: Cities of Sigmar is accompanied by the Cities of Sigmar Army Set, a perfect starting point that includes a core of human troops, paving the way to integrate aelven and duardin support into your force. This Battletome heralds a new era of diverse armies in the Age of Sigmar.
