Cities of Sigmar – Battlemage on Griffon
12" 15 4+ 5 Each wizard in the cities of Sigmar has a honed aptitude for the arcane. Whether through lineage traced to an ancient magocracy, natural affinity or the fruits of long study, each Battlemage has passed trials beyond number. They can slay a foe with a shouted phrase and a killing gesture just as easily as they can provide salvation with a warding symbol or chant. Amongst the Collegiate Arcane’s members are quick-tempered pyromancers from the Bright College and druid-like mages from the Jade College with the power of life at their fingertips. Morbid devotees from the Amethyst traditions of Shyish wield the chill magic of the grave, while those of the Gold College specialise in transmutation.
The bearded shamans of the Amber College prefer to commune with the wilds rather than learn in formal settings. They specialise in the animalistic magic of Ghur, allowing them to empower their fellows with monstrous strength. The most capable amongst them ride to war upon giant, twin-headed griffons they have spirit-bound to their will. Only a wizard can hope to control these especially feral beasts, as more than one Steelhelm has found to their cost. From the backs of these terrifying beasts, an Amber Battlemage can lay waste to foes from afar or strike from on high in a vicious frenzy of stabbing beaks and ripping talons. | ||

FLY: Soaring above the battlefield, this unit can reach destinations that are inaccessible to other troops.
Effect: As this unit moves, it ignores other models, terrain features and the combat ranges of enemy units. It cannot end its move in combat unless specified in the ability that allowed it to move. Ignore any vertical distance moved for this unit.

Note that some units have the FLY keyword even if that unit can’t really fly. This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
