ElectricPaladin Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 We know that the Mortal Realms are littered with the ruins of the great civilization that Sigmar built during the Age of Myth with the cooperation of the other gods of Order, as well as the gods of Death and Destruction, before his Pantheon fell apart and the Realms fell under Chaos. That means lots of ruins, which is cool... but what about fighting it out in an entire ruined city, complete with multiple intact buildings, hazardous ruins on the verge of collapse (and rules for turning the former into the latter!), choked with rubble and debris. I'd like to work together on inventing some rules to make this happen. From my perspective, we need to invent the following: Specialized Battleplans (3 to 6) built around encounters in ruined cities. Rules for interacting with terrain (ie. turning intact buildings into ruins with suitably powerful magic or attacks from Monsters, better rules for shooting from garrisoned building to garrisoned building, etc.). Something equivalent to Stratagems (rules and tactics you can add to your army). Other assorted changes and cool things. Thoughts? I'd love to go so far as to create and share a Battletome: Fallen Empires for the whole community to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaosZand3r Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Agreed. Fantasy and now AoS has never had great support for urban battles. 8th edition had some siege rules but they were supplemental in the campaign book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The Battletome: The End Times has rules for city battles. You'll find them in the Glottkin section. They include rules for occupying and burning down buildings and some other stuff. Not quite as extensive as what you're looking for maybe, but it's something. Also includes a few battleplans built around the rules. Check the link below or in my signature to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaBriZilla Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Love this idea. Can't wait to see what we come up with. As for intent, do you want more in the way of balanced battleplans/rules, or narrative? Or, are you hoping for a mixture of both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith01 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 You could just play Frostgrave with age of Sigmar mini's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, sure... but Frostgrave is Frostgrave. It's a fun game, but it has a very different playstyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
