Cities Of Sigmar
The fighter cards and abilities on this page are no longer intended for Matched Play.
They have been replaced by the fighter cards and abilities in the following factions:
The free cities of the God-King are bastions of order and justice in realms saturated by horror. They are defended by armies drawn from many different cultures and backgrounds; what these brave soldiers lack in supernatural strength or arcane skill, they make up for with overwhelming firepower and an unbreakable belief in their cause.
Cities of Sigmar warbands work slightly differently to other warbands. When you muster a Cities of Sigmar warband, you must also choose the city from which they hail. To do so, pick 1 of the following city runemarks:
- Hammerhal ()
- The Living City ()
- Greywater Fastness ()
- The Phoenicium ()
- Anvilgard Loyalists ()
- Hallowheart ()
- Tempest's Eye ()
All fighters in your warband with the Cities of Sigmar () faction runemark are also considered to have the chosen runemark of their city, which will determine the abilities to which they have access.
There is no list of Abilities for "Cities of Sigmar", rather each City has its own Abilities and Reactions.
Select your city here before adding any fighters to your warband list.
Cities Of Sigmar Warbands In Campaigns
When playing your first campaign battle with a Cities of Sigmar warband, you must choose the city from which they hail and write it on your warband roster. In any future campaign battles with that warband, you must choose the same city runemark as the one written on your roster.
