Cities of Sigmar – Longbeards
4" 1 3+ 1 Longbeards are the oldest and most experienced duardin warriors, as evidenced by their great, flowing beards and tendency to grumble on relentlessly about their enemies and allies alike – even in the thick of battle. When these elite duardin fight, they do so with a slow-burning fury. They take pride in never giving in, lamenting the flightiness of beardlings today and the substandard quality of grot warriors compared to the battles of yore.
Longbeards have a reputation for being able to hold a tunnel or corridor network against any foe, and they will fight in pitch darkness if the situation demands it. They carry to battle the hallowed steel of their forebears, hefty weapons wrought with the expert craftsmanship of ancient smiths. With gromril shields tilted forth and ancestral weapons raised, even formidably strong enemy armies will surely break upon their lines. Such a sight is so reassuring to the younger Dispossessed duardin that many find their spirits galvanised simply by fighting alongside these weatherbeaten warriors – and should the young ones falter in battle, one disgruntled look from their shield-seniors is enough to have them back on their feet in a hurry. | ||

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. | ||
