Cities of Sigmar – Freeguild Cavaliers
10" 3 3+ 1 The Freeguild Cavaliers ride at the forefront of the Dawnbringer Crusades upon the finest destriers that lifewater can buy. Some of these mounted knights are elevated through the ranks by an exceptional aptitude for war, their skill with blade and warhorse all the pedigree they need. Many are the sole survivors of fallen strongholds, men and women who fought to the last even as their friends and family paid the ultimate price. They go to war clad in the panoply of their former settlements, swearing a vendetta and salvaging the finest weapons and armour before riding out to avenge the fallen.
Cavaliers know the wars they fight will not be decided in one glorious, shattering charge. Theirs is a long, relentless battle that grinds on for hours, if not days; for such red work, the sword or the axe is their weapon of choice. In a tight wedge of muscle, horseflesh and metal, they drive their charge home, blades biting deep and steel-shod hooves lashing out to cave in faces and shatter skulls. The enemy howls in disarray as the Cavaliers burst through their formation – then wheel, weapons raised, for the fight to begin in earnest. | ||

32.2 Objective Control
At the start of the first battle round and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||
