Raise the banners, fellow Marshals of Hammerhal, Lethis, and beyond!
The Cities of Sigmar march proudly into the Scourge of Ghyran season with new battle formations, heroic traits, and two reworked warscrolls to inspire glory and deliver judgement. This update breathes martial life into the disciplined legions of the God-King, and Adam ven Denst (no relation) brings word of what’s to come.
Battle Formations: Firepower and Fearlessness
Two new formations bolster your tactical options:
- Veteran Cannoneers lets up to three Ironweld Great Cannons re-roll a hit, wound, or damage roll each turn. If you enjoy watching Chaos monsters evaporate into steam and shrapnel—this one’s for you.
- Fearless Exemplars leans into a combined arms playstyle, ideal for mixed forces who want to unleash ranged volleys before thundering into melee. Synergize this with officer buffs, and your battlelines will both shoot and charge with precision.
Heroic Traits: Castelite Veterans’ Code
The Castelite Veterans suite adds flavorful and functional traits to your heroes:
- Draw Steel boosts melee units with extra attacks—perfect for frontline captains and Griffon-riding Marshals.
- Astute Tactician gives you more mobility, repositioning key units where they’ll hurt most.
- Cosmopolitan Leader shines in mixed forces, letting your humans, aelves, and duardin work together in seamless formation. Think of it as diplomatic unity… with halberds.
Pair any of these with Officer’s Orders for some devastating combos—and maybe a few smug table-side grins.
Warscroll Revisions: Zenestra & Cavaliers
The divine fury of Pontifex Zenestra has been magnified. Her Word of the God-King can now wound or outright banish nearby enemy Wizards, Priests, or Manifestations—perfect for punishing arcane heresy. She can also choose between rallying fallen troops to fight in death or relocate them out of danger, depending on your tactical needs.
Meanwhile, the Freeguild Cavaliers have received a brutal new trick. The Red Work rule allows them—and any nearby Cavalier-Marshal—to count as charging even while locked in combat, granting them sustained offensive pressure across multiple turns.
Conclusion: Sigmar’s Cities, Stronger Than Ever
With disciplined synergy, battlefield flexibility, and devastating firepower, the Cities of Sigmar are ready to stake their claim in the new General’s Handbook season. From mighty cannons to unyielding Cavalier charges, your battleline has never been stronger—or more righteous.
Tomorrow, bring your boots—we’re headed into the swamps for a deep dive into how Commands are changing across the Mortal Realms.
