#WHITE DWARF MAGAZINE COLLECTION UPGRADE#
These new Cities of Sigmar rules arrive after the previous issue of White Dwarf, issue 469, brought a similar upgrade for the already quite powerful Seraphon faction, including new Mount Traits and significant terrain-related buffs.Ĭities of Sigmar is a single in-game army representing the many motley crews of God-King followers (be they humans, dwarfs, or elves) holding out against the depredations of Chaos. You score this Battle Tactic by moving a Flagellants unit within six inches of an objective marker in enemy territory, that started off the turn more than six inches from that objective. The Mighty Beachhead Grand Strategy is, at the very least, a highly flavourful mission for Sigmar’s noble, reclaiming armies: You’ll complete it by controlling more terrain features than the enemy at the end of the game (mind, though, that if the enemy has brought faction terrain features, these will count for three when working this out).Īnd the new Sanctify Battle Tactic could make Flagellants – Sigmar-worshipping, self-castigating, zealot troops that should be familiar to any players of Warhammer Fantasy Battle or the Total War: Warhammer games – slightly more interesting. A very tasty emergency ejector seat to keep your Freeguild General on Griffon alive if they’ve bitten off a bigger fight than they can chew. When a Hero with this trait would be slain, you’ll roll a d6 and, on a 2+, not only will your model stay alive you remove it from the battlefield and drop it back down anywhere on the board (more than nine inches from enemies) with d3 wounds healed back. The stand-out new rule is probably the Mount Trait Soaring Guardian, for a Hero with a Griffon mount.
