Battletome: Cities of Sigmar

 A: 
No.

Allies

Cities of SigmarDaughters of Khaine, Fyreslayers, Idoneth Deepkin, Kharadron Overlords (except in a Tempest’s Eye army), Sylvaneth (except in a Living City army or a Greywater Fastness army).

Free Cities Battle Traits

Strongholds of Order

In the wake of the Realmgate Wars, great cities of Order were established across the Mortal Realms, each with their own proud traditions and martial heritage

When you choose a Cities of Sigmar army, you must give it a city keyword from the list below. All CITIES OF SIGMAR units in your army gain that keyword, and you can use the allegiance abilities listed for that city on the pages indicated.

• HAMMERHAL
• LIVING CITY
• GREYWATER FASTNESS
• PHOENICIUM
• ANVILGARD
• HALLOWHEART
• TEMPEST’S EYE

If a model already has a city keyword on its warscroll, it cannot gain another one. You can still include the model in your army, but you cannot use the allegiance abilities for its city.

Amplified Sorceries

Intense study has allowed the Collegiate Arcane to summon particularly devastating spells.

If a CITIES OF SIGMAR WIZARD successfully casts an endless spell and that spell has any of the abilities listed below, those abilities are in effect for that spell regardless of the realm in which the battle is taking place.

• Empowered by Aqshy
• Empowered by Chamon
• Empowered by Ghur
• Empowered by Ghyran
• Empowered by Hysh
• Empowered by Shyish
• Empowered by Ulgu

Warriors of the Realms

Inhabitants of the God-King’s cities learn to adapt to and master their native realms.

The battle traits for each City of Sigmar will list the Mortal Realm in which the city is located. If you are using the rules from Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Malign Sorcery, your army must be from the same Mortal Realm as the one in which the city is based. In the case of Hammerhal, your army can be from either Aqshy or Ghyran.

Honoured Retinue

A general of the free cities is often accompanied to battle by a handpicked bodyguard consisting of the city’s finest champions.

When you choose the general of a Cities of Sigmar army, if the general has a Wounds characteristic of 6 or less, you can pick up to 1 friendly unit to be your general’s retinue. This unit must have between 5 and 20 models.

If you pick a retinue, your general gains the following ability:

Loyal Shields: A general’s trusted companions protect their master in battle.

Roll a dice before you allocate a wound or mortal wound to your general while they are within 3" of their retinue. On a 4+, that wound or mortal wound is allocated to the retinue instead of the general.

The General’s Adjutant

Many commanders of the free cities retain a loyal aide-de-camp tasked with providing strategic council.

When you choose the general of a Cities of Sigmar army, if your general has a Wounds characteristic of 6 or less, you can pick up to 1 friendly HERO to be your general’s adjutant. This HERO must have a Wounds characteristic of 6 or less and cannot be your general.

If you pick an adjutant, your general gains the following ability:

Wise Council: A good general listens well to his officers.

At the start of your hero phase, if your general is within 3" of their adjutant, roll a dice. On a 4+, you receive 1 extra command point.

Stormkeeps

From the centre of each free city rises a Stormkeep, a fearsome citadel of the Stormcast Eternals.

1 in every 4 units in a Cities of Sigmar army can be a STORMCAST ETERNALS unit. Those units gain the CITIES OF SIGMAR keyword and the city keyword chosen for your army.

Hammerhal Battle Traits

At the start of your hero phase, roll a dice for each friendly HAMMERHAL unit that includes any Standard Bearers. For each 6, you receive 1 extra command point.

The Magister of Hammerhal

Aventis Firestrike has the office of Magister of Hammerhal and speaks with the authority of Sigmar himself on all matters that concern the city.

If your army includes AVENTIS FIRESTRIKE and he is your general, at the start of your first hero phase, you receive 1 extra command point.

Battleplan

A Call for Aid

The great Cities of Sigmar are bastions of hope and civilisation, but they are few in number – each is akin to a single flickering flame amidst a vast and turbulent storm.

Over the course of their short but bloody history, enemies have laid siege to these cities on numerous occasions, and at times they were faced with such peril that they would have surely fallen if not for the allies who came to their aid.

This battleplan tells one such tale, a tale of a city besieged for weeks by an enemy warlord. Disease and starvation has spread through the beleaguered and trapped populace like wildfire, and though there are allies to the north-east and southwest, they know nothing of the city’s plight – the enemy shoots on sight any messenger bird that leaves the city walls.

To send word of their predicament, the city’s warriors must sally out and carve a path through the enemy lines for a message bearer to escape.

It is now or never; without aid, all hope will be lost and the city will surely fall.

THE ARMIES
Each player picks an army as described in the core rules. One player is the Defender. Their opponent is the Besieger. The Defender must use a Cities of Sigmar army.

After the Besieger has picked their army, they must secretly split it into a north-easterly contingent and a south-westerly contingent. There must be at least 1 unit in the northeasterly contingent for every unit in the south-westerly contingent. The Besieger notes down on a piece of paper which contingent each unit in their army is in.

The Defender then chooses whether the battle takes place to the north-east of the city or to the south-west of the city.

SET-UP
The Besieger sets up their army first. If the battle is to take place in the north-east, the Besieger can only set up units from their north-easterly contingent. If the battle is to take place in the south-west, the Besieger can only set up units from their south-westerly contingent.

In both cases, the units that are not set up are placed to one side as reserve units and will arrive during the battle (see REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE).

The Besieger must set up their units wholly within their territory and more than 9" from enemy territory. The Defender must then set up their army wholly within their territory, more than 9" from enemy territory. The territories are shown on the map.

MESSENGERS
A select few of your warriors receive sealed parchments stamped with the royal sigil of the city. Theirs is a forlorn task – to break through the enemy lines, traverse the wilds beyond and bring news of the city’s plight to neighbouring allies.
After both armies have been set up but before the first turn begins, the Defender secretly chooses 3 of their units to bear the message for aid and notes this down on a piece of paper.

FIRST TURN
The Defender can choose which player takes the first turn.

COMMAND ABILITIES
The following additional command abilities can be used in this battle:

Fall Back!: Throwing themselves into the fray, a champion of the city commands their warriors to disengage to safety.
The Defender can use this command ability in the combat phase. If they do so, when picking a friendly unit to fight, if that unit is wholly within 18" of a friendly CITIES OF SIGMAR HERO, that unit must make a normal move and must retreat instead of fighting.

Sound the War Horns!: The Besieger’s army forms battle lines upon command, desperate to stop any forces breaking through.
The Besieger can use this command ability at the end of their movement phase. If they do so, they must pick 1 friendly unit that has been set up on the battlefield in the same turn and is wholly within 18" of a friendly HERO. That unit can make a normal move of D6" (it cannot run).

REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE
The city’s forces assemble at dawn, rushing out of the city gates from an unexpected quarter. The Besieger’s scattered forces rally to the sound of blaring horns and race around the city walls, eager to join the fight.
At the end of the Besieger’s movement phase, they can roll 1 dice for each friendly unit that is in reserve. If the roll is equal to or less than the number of the current battle round, that unit can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is wholly within 6" of a Reinforcements Battle Edge (see map) and more than 9" from any enemy units.

ESCAPE
A path has been carved through the enemy lines. Seizing their chance, warriors bearing the city’s message make their way out into the wilderness beyond.
At the start of the Defender’s hero phase, if a friendly unit bearing the message for aid is within 3" of the Escape Route Battlefield Edge (see map), the Defender can choose for that unit to escape. If they do so, they must remove that unit from the battlefield.

GLORIOUS VICTORY
The battle ends after the fifth battle round or after every unit that was bearing the message for aid has either escaped or been destroyed.

At the end of the battle, if only 1 unit bearing the message for aid has escaped, the Defender wins a minor victory. If 2 or more units bearing the message for aid have escaped, the Defender wins a major victory. Otherwise, the Besieger wins a major victory.

Battle Traits
An army that shares common goals and ideals is much deadlier than a ragtag force of unlikely allies. To represent this, armies that share the same allegiance often benefit from powerful additional abilities called battle traits.
Allocating Wounds
Once all of a unit’s attacks have been resolved, add up the damage that was inflicted. The player commanding the target unit must then allocate a number of wounds to the target unit equal to the damage that was inflicted.

Wounds are allocated one at a time to models in the target unit. You can allocate the wounds inflicted on your units as you see fit (the models do not have to be within range or visible to the attacking unit). However, if you allocate a wound to a model, you must keep on allocating wounds to that model until it is slain – a unit can never have more than one wounded model.

Some abilities allow you to make a roll to negate a wound or mortal wound allocated to a model; in this case the roll is made for each individual wound or mortal wound as it is allocated to the model in question. If the wound or mortal wound is negated it has no effect on the model.
Mortal Wounds
Some attacks, spells and abilities inflict mortal wounds. Do not make hit, wound or save rolls for mortal wounds. Instead, the damage inflicted on the target is equal to the number of mortal wounds that were suffered. Allocate any mortal wounds that are caused while a unit is attacking at the same time as any other wounds caused by the unit’s attacks, after all of the unit’s attacks have been completed. Mortal wounds caused at other times are allocated to models in the target unit as soon as they occur, in the same manner as wounds caused by damage from an attack.

After they have been allocated, a mortal wound is treated in the same manner as any other wound for all rules purposes.

The HERO keyword is used in following Cities of Sigmar warscrolls:

Command Abilities
If you have any HEROES in your army, you can use command abilities. Some command abilities are available to all armies, like the three on the right, while others are specific to certain models and appear on their warscroll. Some of these command abilities can only be used if that model is your general; when this is the case, it will be noted in the rules for the command ability.

In order to use any command ability you must spend 1 command point. You start the battle with 1 command point for each warscroll battalion you have in your army. In addition, you receive 1 command point at the start of each of your hero phases. You can use the same command ability several times in the same phase as long as you have enough command points to do so. Any command points you do not use can be used in a future turn. A command ability will usually specify when it is used; if it does not, it is used in your hero phase.

Battleshock test, battleshock roll
In the battleshock phase, both players must take battleshock tests for units from their army that have had models slain during the turn. The player whose turn it is tests first.

You must make a battleshock roll for each unit that has to take a battleshock test. To make a battleshock roll, roll a dice. Add the number of models from the unit that have been slain this turn to the dice roll, and add 1 to the unit’s Bravery characteristic for every 10 models that are in the unit when the test is taken.

If the modified battleshock roll is greater than the unit’s modified Bravery characteristic, the battleshock test has been failed. If the test is failed, for each point by which the modified roll exceeds the unit’s modified Bravery characteristic, one model in that unit must flee. You decide which of the models from your units flee – remove them from play and count them as having been slain.

The HAMMERHAL and HERO keywords are used in following Cities of Sigmar warscrolls:

Melee Weapons
In order to make an attack with a melee weapon, a model must be in range of the target unit.
Modifiers
Sometimes modifiers apply to characteristics or abilities. For example, a rule might add 1 to a hit roll or the Move characteristic of a model. Modifiers are cumulative. Modifiers can never reduce a dice roll to less than 1.

If a modifier applies to a random value, work out the random value first and then apply the modifier(s) to it. For example, if an ability adds 1 to a Damage characteristic of D3, the result would be worked out by rolling the D3 and adding 1 to the roll.
Making Attacks
Attacks are resolved one at a time using the following attack sequence. In some cases, you can resolve all of the attacks made by the same type of weapon at the same time (see Multiple Attacks).

1.Hit Roll: Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Hit characteristic, then it scores a hit and you must make a wound roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. A hit roll of 1 before modification always fails to hit the target, and a hit roll of 6 before modification always hits the target.
2.Wound Roll: Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Wound characteristic, then it is successful and the opposing player must make a save roll. If not, then the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. A wound roll of 1 before modification always fails, and a wound roll of 6 before modification is always successful.
3.Save Roll: The opposing player rolls a dice, modifying the roll by the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic. For example, if a weapon has a -1 Rend characteristic, then 1 is subtracted from the save roll. If the result equals or beats the Save characteristic of the models in the target unit, the save succeeds and the attack sequence ends without causing any damage. If not, the save fails and the attack is successful, and you must determine damage on the target unit. A save roll of 1 before modification always fails.
4.Determine Damage: Each successful attack inflicts damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of the weapon making the attack. Most weapons have a Damage characteristic of 1, but some have a Damage characteristic of 2 or more.
Charge roll, charge move
Any of your units within 12" of the enemy in your charge phase can attempt to make a charge move. Pick an eligible unit and make a charge roll for it by rolling 2D6. Each model in the unit can move a number of inches equal to the charge roll. You cannot make a charge move with a unit that has run or retreated earlier in the turn, or with a unit that is within 3" of an enemy unit.

The first model you move from a unit making a charge move must finish the move within ½" of an enemy model (you do not have to pick the target for the charge before making the charge roll). If that’s impossible, or you decide not to make the charge move, the charge fails and no models in the unit can move in this phase.

Once all models in one unit have made their charge moves, you can pick another eligible unit to make a charge attempt, until all units that you want to make charge attempts have done so.
Healing Wounds
Some abilities allow wounds that have been allocated to a model to be healed. For each wound that is healed, remove one of the wounds that have been allocated to the model. You can’t heal wounds on a model that has been slain.

The WIZARD keyword is used in following Cities of Sigmar warscrolls:

Leader
Leader, Behemoth
Casting and Unbinding Spells
A WIZARD can attempt to cast spells in its own hero phase. You cannot attempt to cast the same spell more than once in the same turn (even with a different wizard).

In order to cast a spell, first say which spell the wizard is going to attempt to use (it must be one they know). To cast the spell, roll 2D6. If the total is equal to or greater than the casting value of the spell, the spell is successfully cast.

If a spell is cast, the opposing player can choose one of their WIZARDS that is within 30" of the caster to attempt to unbind the spell before its effects are applied. To unbind a spell, roll 2D6. If the roll beats the roll used to cast the spell, then the spell is not successfully cast. Only one attempt can be made to unbind a spell.
Running
When you pick a unit to make a normal move, you can declare that it will run. Make a run roll for the unit by rolling a dice. Add the result of the run roll to the Move characteristic of all models in the unit for that movement phase. The unit can then move up to that distance in inches. Models in a unit that runs can’t shoot or charge later in the same turn.
Flying
If the warscroll for a model says that the model can fly, it can pass across models and terrain features as if they were not there when it makes any type of move. Any vertical distance up and/or down is ignored when measuring a flying model’s move. It cannot finish the move on top of another model.

Reserves
Reserves are units that are part of your army, but which have an ability that allows you to set them up in a location other than on the battlefield and deploy them later once the battle has begun. Setting up a reserve unit is not considered a move for the unit, but it may restrict a unit’s ability to move in the same turn. Any reserves that have not been set up when the battle ends are treated as if they had been slain when you are working out which side won the battle.

The LIVING CITY and HERO keywords are used in following Cities of Sigmar warscrolls:

Normal Moves
Moves made in the movement phase are referred to as normal moves, to differentiate them from charge moves (made in the charge phase) and pile-in moves (made in the combat phase). A model making a normal move can move a distance in inches equal to or less than the Move characteristic shown on its warscroll.
Mounts
Sometimes the description for a model will include information about the model having a mount, such as a battle steed, a powerful monster that they can ride, or a massive war machine that they can stand upon. Note that when the model is slain both the rider and their mount are removed.
Cover
Add 1 to save rolls for a unit if all of its models are wholly on or within a terrain feature when the rolls are made. This modifier does not apply in the combat phase if the unit you are making save rolls for made a charge move in the same turn, and never applies to units containing models with the MONSTER or WAR MACHINE keyword that have a Wounds characteristic of 8 or more.
Missile Weapons
In order to attack with a missile weapon, the model using the weapon must be in range of the target unit (i.e. within the maximum distance, in inches, of the Range listed for the weapon making the attack), and the target unit must be visible to the model with the weapon (if unsure, stoop down and look from behind the shooting model to see if a model from the target unit is visible). For the purposes of determining visibility, a model can see through other models in its unit.

Some missile weapons have a Range characteristic with a minimum range, for example 6"-48". Such weapons cannot attack units that are wholly within the shorter range.

Unbinding and Dispelling
A WIZARD can attempt to unbind an endless spell when it is initially cast as normal. In addition, a WIZARD can attempt to dispel one endless spell at the start of each of their hero phases. If a wizard attempts to dispel an endless spell, they can attempt to cast one less spell than normal that phase.

In order to dispel an endless spell, first pick an endless spell model within 30" of the wizard and visible to them, and then roll 2D6. If the roll is greater than the casting value of the spell, the endless spell is dispelled. An endless spell model cannot be subjected to more than one dispel attempt per hero phase.

When an endless spell is dispelled its model is removed from play; the model can then be used again if the same endless spell is successfully cast later in the battle.

Artefacts of Power
These treasures are borne to war by mighty heroes. If the allegiance abilities for your army include any artefacts of power, you can choose or roll for one to be carried by a HERO from your army. You may choose one additional HERO to have an artefact for each warscroll battalion you include in your army. A HERO cannot have more than one artefact of power, and an army may not include duplicates of the same artefact of power. Artefacts of power have no effect on attacks made by a hero’s mount unless noted otherwise.
Command Traits
Whether cunning strategist or berserk butcher, every general has a unique style of command. If your general is a HERO and the allegiance abilities for your army include any command traits, you can choose or roll for one for your general. If, for any reason, you must select a new general during a battle, immediately choose or roll for a trait for them. Command traits have no effect on attacks made by a general’s mount unless noted otherwise.
