  • FOR SIGMAR! In the next episode, I'm hoping to get one or two books of Nagash and possibly achieve a short victory - or maybe just destroy Tseench. Also, I would love to get a few good military alliances with Kislev, Dwarves, or Cathay, to unlock more units with guns.

      I will be using Hellblaster Volley Guns once I unlock them, but I won't be using cannons or mortars of any type. I really want to test the limits of normal war wagons, pistolers, and outriders as they normally get overshadowed by better options in my campaigns.

      Even without guard mode, they seem to shoot during melee sometimes.

    You don’t need to checkerboard with free company (or really any gunpowder units).

It’s something that only works for a few units in the game, but all gunpowder units have this buff.
