Black Guard always get a +1 to hit near a Darkling Covens hero, so that’s where you want them. A Freeguild General’s Hold the Line! ability is tailor made for giving your Freeguild Handgunner hordes 2+/2+ handguns. So many units work so well together in this book, making it very clear who should go where. Wizards are cheap and readily available, and there’s a spell lore specific to whichever City you choose. There are no faction-specific Endless Spells available here, but the generic ones are always Empowered by their realm, no matter what. This is an ideal jumping off point from owners of those armies, people looking to start those a new army without buying in too much, or those looking to further diversify the already huge number of potential units in a Cities of Sigmar army. Furthermore, specific cities can do the same with Sylvaneth and Kharadron Overlords. In addition to having access to allies like anyone else, 1 in every 4 units in your army can be Stormcast Eternals.

Your creativity can run wild here, using counts-as rules for thematic purposes (Your old Elf Spearmen would make great Dreadspears! Free Company Militia would make perfect Scourge Privateers!) or inventing whole new looks for the various people of the Mortal Realms. Cities of Sigmar dominate the shooting phase with hefty ranged options in every battlefield role, and some of these options are both fast and durable.
Wizard cavalry, flying war machines, giant monsters, you name it – there’s a build for just about any player here, and an associated City of Sigmar to reinforce that theme. If you want a horde of expendable yahoos, they’re yours. If you want a heavy cavalry force, you can make it.
If you want to make a gunline army, there’s no army better. There’s a staggering number of units that make up armies within armies, letting you field something akin to an old Warhammer Fantasy army or a mixed force, picking and choosing from everything in the book. Just about any Human, Elf, or Dwarf model in Warhammer’s history has a place here. These are the folks who put “mortal” in “Mortal Realms”, and this army represents the collective military might of those relatively ordinary people. Inside each of these metropolises lies a Stormkeep in which their Stormcast Eternal protectors live, but on the streets are common people – Humans, Aelves, and Duardin, who live their day to day lives. The mortals they were made to protect live in massive fortress cities bastions of hope, strength, and civilization standing amongst the wilds of the Mortal Realms. While the Stormcast Eternals are the “face” of Age of Sigmar, they are few in number. What Are The Cities of Sigmar? The Freeguilds at War. Mustachioed men with greatswords march alongside Duardin Gyrocopters and Drakespawn Chariots in this army that offers an easy in for old Warhammer Fantasy players as well as unprecedented conversion and counts-as opportunities. This is the army where the leftovers of Warhammer’s past come together under one banner, making up a remarkably diverse and flexible force. That era is finally at an end – Welcome to Age of Sigmar’s own Island of Misfit Toys, the Cities of Sigmar. Some notable idiots burned their armies in protest, while others played this new game with old armies and get-you-by rules. In this brave new world of round bases, golden Übermenschen, and musclebound bloodbois, the old square-based armies of Warhammer Fantasy didn’t really have anywhere to go. When the Old World died and the Age of Sigmar began, not every army survived.
