HONOURED RETINUE
A general of the free cities is often accompanied to battle by a handpicked bodyguard consisting of the city’s finest champions. When you choose the general of a Cities of Sigmar army, if the general has a Wounds characteristic of 6 or less, you can pick up to 1 friendly unit to be your general’s retinue. This unit must have between 5 and 20 models. If you pick a retinue, your general gains the following ability:
Loyal Shields: A general’s trusted companions protect their master in battle. Roll a dice before you allocate a wound or mortal wound to your general while they are within 3" of their retinue. On a 4+, that wound or mortal wound is allocated to the retinue instead of the general.
