This article related to the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar is a stub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it

The Empire is getting back together again! The Empire, Elves and Dwarfs are now A MASSIVE clusterfuck of units under the same standard. Not only that, but in the last shelf cleaning, TONS of models, even plastic ones, got squatted.


Why Play Cities of Sigmar

Cities of Sigmar combines many old Order factions, at the expense of squatting many of the units. It includes:

Whilst completely squatting:

Pros

Cons

  • Comes at the cost of mass squatting, particularly of old High Elves.
  • A lot of remaining factions lost a their units, like the Devoted losing Warrior-Priests, Witch Hunters, and the War-Altar. not exactly true, because you can ally every faction of order except seraphon, giving you the possibility (obviously if they keep point cost for) to bring some squatted unit back.
  • Locked into City allegiance and their associated realms of Aqshy or Ghyran. Must "Counts As" if your units aren't up to code and tough luck if you wanted Realm artifacts from elsewhere.

Rulebooks

Allegiance Abilities

Universal Allegiance Abilities

Strongholds of Order

You must choose a city. You have 7 choices. Go wild. You get all the universal allegiance abilities, plus all abilities from the chosen city.

Amplified Sorceries

If you cast an endless spell, it's always the empowered version, regardless of what realm you're playing in.

Warriors of the Realms

If you're using Malign Sorcery rules, your army must be from the realm of your city.

Honoured Retinue

If your general has a wounds characteristic of 6 or less, you can pick a retinue (any unit of 5-20 models). If your general is within 3" of the retinue, each time your general takes a wound, on a 4+ the retinue takes it instead.

The General's Adjutant

If your general has a wounds characteristic of 6 or less, you can pick a friendly hero to be their adjutant. The adjutant must have a wounds characteristic of 6 or less. If your general is within 3" of the adjutant at the start of your hero phase, roll a die. On a 4+, you get a CP.

  • Flagellants: (80/280pts, min 10, max 40)
    • That cheap unit that likes dieing. a Fighting unit with no save but gains more attacks as models die and deal mortal wounds for each model that flees. Get a really dangerous ability to having +1 to hit and wound rolls if they charge. Also they keep the devoted of sigmar keyword, so you CAN ally warrior priest to power them and intentionally kill them with endless spells for more attacks. Definitely better not to mess with those guys.

Battleline

  • Freeguild Guard: (80/280pts, min 10, max 40)
    • These guys are as good as ever. They lost the possibility of having shields with every other weapons and the militia equipment, gaining instead generally better equipment and ability. Halberds are quite terrifying now, with a 3+ for wound and -1 rend. Better save with shield and swords and a really nasty ability with the spear. Always take in large crowd and take the best weapon for the occasion.
  • Freeguild Handgunners: (100pts, min 10, max 30)
    • These guys get a nice nerfed, going from "terrifyingly op" to "nice normal shooter". Basically for having them at their best you have to don't move them, but their low range makes them not that dangerous and almost vulnerable to fast units. Now it's only their the ability to shoot at charging units, use it wisely.
