Cities of Sigmar – Irondrakes
4" 1 3+ 1 Marching alongside the bulk of the Dispossessed duardin come the Irondrakes, blackpowder specialists who wield heavy drakeguns so large that they are closer to small-bore cannons than muskets. They are masters of bullet and bomb, destroying foes with flashing volleys of noise and smoke. They are as unrelenting and stubborn as the rest of their duardin kin, planting themselves in position before unleashing wave after wave of artillery fire at a single word from their Ironwarden commander.
Some amongst the Irondrake ranks make use of grudgehammer torpedoes that can fell even a fully grown troggoth as their kin fire away at the mass of the enemy battleline. With such terrifying heavy weaponry, Irondrakes are particularly adept at tunnel fighting, marching forth without cover to blast enemies from shadowed caves, relying only upon master-crafted gromril armour for protection. Should any foes get in close, this diamond-hard defence fends off any attempts to retaliate – and the heavy plating over their fists allows them to knock down would-be assailants with a hefty punch. | ||

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. | ||

6.0 Visibility
A target model is visible to another model (which we’ll call the ‘observing model’) if you can draw a straight line through the air (whether horizontal, diagonal or vertical) from any point on the observing model to any point on the target model that does not intersect any objects except for other models in the observing model’s unit. A target unit is visible to an observing unit if at least 1 model in the target unit is visible to at least 1 model in the observing unit. A model is always considered to be visible to itself.
| ||
| In some cases, it might not be immediately clear whether a model is visible. If so, stoop down to get a look from behind the observing model. If any part of the other model is visible, even if it is just the tip of a spear, then that model is visible for rules purposes. | ||
17.2 Mortal Damage
Some abilities inflict mortal damage. If an ability inflicts mortal damage on a unit, add that number of damage points to the unit’s damage pool for that ability (see 18.2 Allocating Damage).
