Why Play Cities of Sigmar

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

• Aelves: Darkling Covens, Order Serpentis, Phoenix Temple, Scourge Privateers, Shadowblades, Swifthawk Agents, Wanderers
• Humans: Collegiate Arcane, Devoted of Sigmar, Free Peoples
• Others: Dispossessed, Ironweld Arsenal

Whilst completely squatting:

• Aelves: Eldritch Council, Lion Rangers, Order Draconis

Pros

• If you complained about all the needless separations and divisions of old Empire/Dwarf/Elf models, then this faction fixes all that.
• over 30 potential choices for Battleline, including Kharybdiss, Hydras and STEAM TANKS

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.
