Cities of Sigmar – Freeguild Fusiliers
5" 1 4+ 1 At a barked command from their Fusil-Sergeant, the Fusiliers release a deafening volley. Entire enemy ranks topple backwards, torn and bleeding. Another volley sounds, then another – as many as three salvoes in the space of a minute. Against the daemon and the gheist, the Fusiliers will fire shots inscribed with sigils of the God-King. Magic-wielding champions are silenced with a sphere of pure realmstone, taken with silver tongs from a small nullstone casket. In this way, even the meanest human gunline can take down the most vicious scourges of the Mortal Realms.
The weapons of these gunlines are loaded and fired in much the same way as a miniature cannon. Each is also set with a thick wooden shield, which, when facing outwards alongside the iron-rimmed shields of footsoldiers, creates a defensive Castelite formation. The slaughter-fusils used by some Fusil-Sergeants, however, are more complex. These devastating firearms are triple-barrelled and able to be fired in quick succession or in one blistering volley. Such weapons are cumbersome, especially when carried in conjunction with hardwood pavises and lanterns for reloading in darkness; yet, in a flurry of movement, the gun is prepped, propped and raised. Its signature roar is never far behind. | ||

FORTIFYING POSITION: Heavy pavises are slammed into the dirt, forming a wall of oak and iron as strong as a fortification.

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||

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. | ||
