Whipping up a Storm
Lots of people seem to be confused how the Steel Whips of the Sigmarite Sisterhood are used in the game. The following notes should clarify the rules for the Steel Whips. As the Steel Whips can be used in Hand-tohand combat even from distance, they can be used in your opponents turn, provided the wielders of the whips are within 4" of any enemy models. Models wielding Steel Whips can make their full number of attacks, minus any extra attacks from additional weapons carried in their free hand. This makes a cluster of Sigmarite Sisters armed with Whips a dangerous foe indeed! 8

Note that you cannot use the whips in hand-tohand combat if you failed a charge or got up after being knocked down, as models without the whips would not be allowed to fight in close combat under such circumstances. One house rule Id like to recommend is that no warrior in a Sigmarite Sister Warband should be allowed to fight with two Steel Whips. While technically legal, it would also be extremely unlikely that all the Sisters would have the skill to wield two whips at a time! On a final note, yes the Steel Whips are powerful. They are one of the unique features of the Sigmarite Sisters Warband. Each Warband has its strengths and weaknesses. Live with it.
maximum number of warriors for your Warband in this situation. These extra warriors will be armed with one weapon (either handto-hand or missile weapon) and may not carry shields or wear armour. Even with these extra men your Warband will probably be out-gunned by the more experienced Warband with their superior equipment and weaponry. If you are using these rules, you may not Rout voluntarily. You have pleaded help from your patron, and now you must live up to his expectations! All the extra warriors depart after the game, and do not affect the exploration or income of your Warband. You must sell ALL the Wyrdstone that you find during the exploration your Patron is expecting results!
