Cities of Sigmar – Steam Tank Commander
8" 12 2+ 5 Clanking monstrosities of steel and iron, Steam Tanks rattle across the battlefield, blasting away at targets with their cannons and steam-spewing guns while grinding yet more to paste beneath their wheels. This mechanical behemoth of metal and flame is an expedition’s last line of fire, capable of shooting superheated steam from its turret or blasting apart foes with the cannon mounted upon its prow. As Steam Tanks can be quite temperamental, with every inch of their massive surface concealing cogs and machinery, the crews of such behemoths maintain them even during battle with meticulous rituals and checks.
At the forefront of larger Steam Tank formations ride the Steam Tank Commanders, veterans of countless battles who are deft at coordinating shock assaults that leave the enemy shattered and reeling. Though these finely dressed warriors may be mistaken for nobility, often bedecked in feathers and fabrics in the colours of their parent city, they should not be underestimated. Each earned their rank by surviving expeditions and wars that led to the establishment of strongpoints across their home realm. After one too many disdainful comments referring to them as soot-covered engineers, they reimagined themselves as steel-shod knights of legend, commanding respect wherever they go. | ||

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). | ||
