The Freeguild General is a natural General to choose if you are fielding a Free Peoples army. He comes either on foot or on horse and can be armed in a number of ways. In the Warhammer Fantasy Battles game the Freeguild models made up the Empire army. If you have, or can get hold of some Warhammer Empire models then you will have the core of a Freeguild army. The first point at note is that the Freeguild General comes either on horse or on foot and the two play quite differently. General Freeguild General on Foot Tactic The Freeguild General on foot was the Battle Standard Bearer in the 8th edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles. The Freeguild General on foot is a great general to have supporting your rank and file units. He can be armed with a great weapon that will aid the troops if you are faced with a monstrous creature. The Freeguild General’s Command ability will be useful keeping the rank and file troopers in order. Another option is to arm the General on foot with a sword and war banner. This improves the battleshock rolls for all Free peoples units in 24″ range. 24″ is…

The Stormcast Eternal are not the only humans fighting to restore order in the Age of Sigmar realms. There are also the forces of Bretonnia and the also the Empire / Guilds. In this section we will have a look at the tactics for Free Peoples! The two Human forces have opposing styles of play. The Bretonnia army consists of Elite Knights backed up by low quality serfs and archers. The Empire and Guilds army usually consists of larger units of pike men and musketeers backed up with a few elite units of magic users and horsemen. To really mix things up have a think about fielding the best of each army to create really effective force! Forces of the Freeguilds The forces of the Freeguilds seem to be styled on the armies of the Renaissance Wars that raged through Italy between 1494 to 1559. The Freeguilds are models from the Warhammer Fantasy Battles where it was a well developed army. This means that you should be able to find units to fulfil most needs.

The Lord-Celestant is a major character in the Storm cast Eternal army. The Lord-Celestant is strong, highly skilled and well armed. With this model he rides a Dragoth. This gives him extra speed and more attacks. The Lord-Celestant on Dragoth is one of the models that are included in the Age of Sigma starter box so you can be sure that you will see a number of these models in Age of Sigma battles. This means that even if you do not play Stormcast Eternals you will need to know it’s strengths and weaknesses. So with that let’s look at… Lord-Celestant General Tactics The Lord-Celestant does not have any shooting weapons so he is best getting stuck in the fight. However without support your Lord-Celestant will be easy pray for any sizeable mob of enemy. This means that you will need to use him in coordination with other units. This is specially true if your Lord-Celestant is your general. This is because your Generals Abilities have a range limit and if he is out on his own then he will be less effective. Also be aware that the Lord-Celestant’s weapon has a big effect on the best way to use…

In this post we will have a look at the Liberators from the Stormcast Eternal Age of Sigmar army and how to use them in Age of Sigmar games. Liberators are the core warriors of the human forces for good found in the Realm Gates wars starter box set. The basic tactics used for the Liberator are nice and simple, engage the enemy as soon as possible or form a wall of warriors that stops your opponent getting to where they want to get them. Stormcast special rule – Lay low the Tyrants This special rule allows you to add 1 to the hit rolls when you attack a model with 5 wounds or more. This gives the Stormcast a role, specially if your are fielding Stormcast Liberators with other human forces. Have your regular forces defending or claiming objectives, and have your Liberators going for the big guys! Stormcast Eternal Liberator Weapons The Liberators can be armed with either hammer/sword and shield, two hammers/ swords, or some big two handed hammers/ swords. I group hammers and swords together because 3 to hit and 4 to wound weapons have exactly the same chance to wound as weapons that have 4…
