 THE CYGNARAN
MILITARY
BY RIFLE, CANNON & LIGHTNING
Cygnars military prides itself on having the most-
disciplined and best-trained soldiers in western Immoren,
as well as providing them with the resources and equipment
to overcome nearly any challenge. It has earned a reputation
for defeating its enemies even while outnumbered, with
an emphasis on the quality rather than the quantity of its
infantry and warjacks. Cygnars warjacks have a wide
range of capabilities and incorporate sophisticated military-
grade cortexes that make them highly effective whether
controlled by warcasters or jack marshals. The army has
changed considerably in recent years to incorporate gains
from industrialization and mechanika and now stands at
the cutting edge of technological ingenuity applied to the
arts of war.
Recent Conflicts
Despite its status as a major power in the region, the last
six years have been a dark time for the Cygnaran Army.
Surrounded on all sides, Cygnar has endured long periods
of intense warfare, including a failed war to defend Llael,
fierce fighting in the Thornwood, subsequent battles to drive
out the largest Cryxian invasion in recorded history, renewed
fighting with Khador in the Thornwood, and a bitter civil
war fought for the Cygnaran crown. The year 609AR was
particularly tumultuous, as many of the struggles and
turmoil that had been building over the last several years
came to a head.
While short-lived, the brief alliance between Khador and
Cygnar to drive Cryx from the Thornwood was largely a
6
success, demonstrating that mortals could contend with the
undead seeking to eradicate them. The combined Cygnaran,
Khadoran, and Protectorate forces managed to uproot the
necrofactorium controlled by Lich Lord Asphyxious. The
accord between them did not last beyond the declaration
of victory, however, as the Khadorans demonstrated their
perfidy by turning on Cygnar the moment Cryx was defeated.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the aftermath of this conflict,
Khador sought to cement its hold over the Thornwood. The
Khadorans conducted punitive attacks against eastern Ord
and launched a renewed invasion into Cygnar, hoping to
use Stonebridge Castle as their gateway into its interior. This
offensive was forestalled by an unexpected counterattack:
Vinter RaelthorneIV, with the support of northern nobles
and the Fourth Army, reclaimed the fortress. This maneuver
was part of Vinters opening bid to reclaim the throne and
the beginning of the Second Cygnaran Civil War.
Vinter had chosen his timing well, as King Letos armies
were already pinned downthe First Army embattled with
Khador, the Second Army facing a renewed Protectorate
incursion near Caspia, and the Third Army defending the
coast from Cryx. King Leto was forced to withdraw into the
interior with a small but dedicated force, reaching Fharin,
where they would make their last stand with the fate of
Cygnars future rulership in the balance.
A third contender for the throne revealed himself at this
time: Julius Raelthorne, bastard son of VinterIV and
nephew of Leto. Supported by the exiled Asheth Magnus

 and a large mercenary army, Julius played an instrumental
part in the wars outcome. At the Battle of Fharin, Vinter
was defeated and slain. King Leto subsequently abdicated
the throne and passed his crown to Julius, hoping to save
the kingdom from years of potential strife. Most of those
who had fought against Leto were pardoned in the interests
of preserving the nation.
Even amid this civil war, other threats sapped strength from
the Cygnaran military and added to the chaos and disruption
inside this embattled nation. Angry trollkin kriels banded
together and emerged from the forests and mountains under
the banner of war. Dragons clashed over Cygnaran skies and
left an indelible stain of blight on the land. In this time of
uncertainty, the nations new and untested king has sought
to change the fortunes of his nation.
Temporary Peace &
a New War
With the nation united behind him, the young kings first
actions were to consolidate support behind the First Army in
the Thornwood, demonstrating to Khador that their invasion
would be costly and ultimately futile. The Khadorans had
hoped the civil unrest would tear Cygnar apart, but they soon
realized their error. After a few short months the Khadoran
Army withdrew and a tense peace was negotiated.
King Julius and his new inner council knew their northern
rival agreed to peace only to buy time to rebuild their
strength. Shrewdly, Julius negotiated for a peace that left an
opening for future gains. The Khadorans surrendered the
Thornwood in exchange for Cygnar publicly legitimizing
their hold over Llaelso long as no heir to the old Llaelese
royal line emerged. Khadoran spies believed all members of
that bloodline had been eliminated, but they were mistaken.
Julius agents had discovered and safeguarded Kaetlyn
di la Martyn, the last of Llaels royal line, who is now his
betrothed. Their marriage is contingent on recovering Llael
for its people, a task to which King Julius has committed.
By revealing this heir and confronting the empress with
the treaty she had signed, Julius forced the hand of the
Khadorans. As expected, Khador refused to yield the lands
they had seized during the Llaelese War, giving Cygnar the
pretext to launch a new war.
In early 611AR, the Storm Division led by Lord General
Coleman Stryker seized the initiative by marching into the
Llaelese interior. Despite bitter opposition, they managed
to seize the northern city of Riversmet from Khador before
advancing on Rynyr. The king soon sent additional troops
from the First Army as reinforcements. If the campaign is
successful, the heirs of King Julius and Queen Kaetlyn stand
to inherit rulership of both Llael and Cygnar.
THE CYGNARAN MILITARY
8
The Government
One of Cygnars greatest assets is its adaptive government,
which is able to facilitate the efficient organization of its
vast military. While the realm operates as a monarchy with
methods of governance similar to those employed by the other
nations of the Iron Kingdoms, notable distinctions exist. In
some ways, Cygnar boasts the most progressive government
in western Immorenat least under the leadership of its
current and previous king. King Leto implemented many
laws to foster industry, innovation, and a high standard of
living along with justice and equity. King Julius inherited a
government supported by a robust economy but suffering
from divided interests.
Cygnars system of government is rooted in ancient
traditions but includes checks and balances that promote
stability. Though the king wields great power, in practice
his actions require cooperation from the kingdoms body of
nobles, collectively known as the Royal Assembly. Politics
in Cygnar is a complicated and often messy business, but
when the realm is threatened, officials can usually put aside
their differences to support the military and its commanding
officers, many of whom are members of the aristocracy.
The King
As the highest authority in Cygnar, by law the sovereign
possesses all the vast powers typically held by kings,
including the ability to declare war, raise and command
armies, negotiate treaties, make laws, and collect taxes. That
said, the king is expected to obey certain laws and traditions
regarding the mechanisms by which he can exercise his
authority and the deference expected of the peers of the
realm.
Ultimately, the balance of power between the king and the
Royal Assembly changes with each sovereign. Some tyrants
have largely ignored this body, while others have preferred
to let the assembly effectively rule in their stead. A king who
acts entirely as he pleases or who earns the enmity of the Royal
Assembly runs the risk of fomenting rebellion. Cygnars last
two kings both faced insurrection: VinterIV was overthrown
by his younger brother Leto, and Leto abdicated following
a civil war that threatened to restore his elder brother to the
throne. While Leto and Vinter were vastly different kings
with opposite approaches to governance, neither was able to
retain the undivided loyalty of the realms powerful nobles.
Without the cooperation of the Assembly, a kings power
is diminished. Although the Cygnaran Army technically
answers to the king, many ranking officers are also nobles,
and loyalty tends to be personal. Tyrants can be overthrown,
as has been shown.
Cygnar is not entirely beholden to primogeniture in
determining succession, thanks to Woldreds Covenant.
This law allows Cygnaran royalty to determine their own
successors from among the noble families of Cygnar. Even
with this law, the greatest bloodlines in Cygnar retain
considerable status and symbolic power. A Cygnaran king
has never appointed an heir who did not descend from the
royal families of ancient Calacia, as such a ruler would be
neither respected nor accepted.

The circumstances of King Julius ascension to the throne

was one of the most unusual in Cygnars history. Julius was
raised in secret by a cabal of former members of Vinters
Inquisition. This cabal eventually decided to overthrow Leto
and see Julius crowned instead. With the help of former
Cygnaran warcaster Asheth Magnus, Julius survived several
attempts on his life and took part in the Second Cygnaran
Civil War in 609AR, helping defeat Vinters loyalists.

Much to the surprise of everyone involved, at the end of the

war King Leto decided to abdicate the throne for the good of
the kingdom. Leto used Woldreds Covenant to appoint Julius
as his heir, reinforcing this argument by calling into question
the legitimacy of his own reign due to his usurpation. This
gave him a pretext to pardon the crimes committed by those
who had otherwise committed treason against him, bringing
peace to the Royal Assembly. Crowned shortly thereafter in
Caspia, Julius has proven to be a cunning and bold leader
who can handle himself at court as well as with his military
staff. Though he is young and unproven, many hope he has
inherited the more positive traits of the Raelthorne line.

Cygnaran Nobility &

the Royal Assembly
Nobility in Cygnar is organized in a system of ranks essential
to the social and political fabric of the nation. The power to
create nobles, to adjust the bounds of familial holdings, and
to create new territories and divisions rests with the king.
Cygnar is divided into duchies, provinces, and baronies.
The largest territories, the duchies, are ruled by a duke or
archduke, while provinces are ruled by earls, and the much
smaller baronies are governed by barons. There exist other
noble titles to signify familial relationships, but these are a
matter of courtesy and carry no authority.

Barons, earls, and dukes can vote in the Royal Assembly, as

can high chancellors and Cygnaran exarchs and vicars of the
Church of Morrow. Others may be invited to speak but cannot
vote. Wealthy merchants, military officers, and others often
attend the Assembly to champion or oppose proposed laws.

Knights hold the lowest land-owning rank of peerage. They

are vassals sworn to serve the nobles granting their lands
to them. Knights are expected to be armed and capable
liegemen, ready to answer their lords call to war. Cygnaran
law limits the size and disposition of a nobles household
guard. Barons may retain only a small armed force to protect
their lands, with proportionately larger forces being allowed
to earls and dukes.

THE CYGNARAN MILITARY

9
 By those same laws, the Cygnaran military no longer
relies on the mustering of nobles and their households;
instead, it leverages the power of a professional standing
army. Many nobles of the realm also hold positions as
officers in the Cygnaran Army or Navy. Such service is a
matter of duty and honor, and strict covenants separate
a nobles social standing and his duties as an officer. For
example, nobles are disallowed from using the nations
forces to resolve disputes over their holdings and cannot
abuse their authority by bestowing officer commissions as
favors. Such matters are taken seriously, though eliminating
politics from the military has never been entirely successful.
Additionally, ranking nobles are still entitled to maintain
armed household guards and can employ them to enforce
the peace. The use of hired mercenaries is also common,
which creates a grey area in the law.
The Inner Council
Initially instituted by King Leto in 595 AR as an advisory
council but transitioning to a full war body in 603AR, the
Inner Council is the core of the government. It exists to keep
the king informed about the state of the realm and to assist
in his most vital decisions. Julius reign has seen the council
undergo a return to its traditional role as a board of advisors
for all aspects of governance, though it also discusses the
nations military concerns.
After the Second Cygnaran Civil War, Warmaster General
Olsen Turpin stepped down, as did several other members of
the Inner Council. In addition to the king, the main body of the
Inner Council is composed of the kings high chancellors: Lord
High Chancellor Leto Raelthorne; Warmaster General Kielon
EbonhartIV, supreme commander of the Cygnaran Army;
Navarch Galten SparholmIII, supreme commander of the
Cygnaran Navy; Arcane Administrator Orin Midwinter, advisor
to the king on supernatural matters; Scout General Bolden
Rebald, commander of the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service;
Lord Treasurer Lars Corumny, who manages the governments
budget and taxation; and Lord of Industry Lassiter Polk, who
oversees military production and the realms commerce.
During Letos reign, the Church of Morrows primarch had an
open invitation to the council. While the Churchs role has been
diminished, Exarch Sebastian Dargule is sometimes asked to
attend when he has useful intelligence to contribute. Other
frequent attendees include Commander Adept Birk Kinbrace
of the Strategic Academy and Lord General Coleman Stryker,
the armys highest-ranking warcaster.
Army Organization
The Cygnaran Army utilizes a combined-arms approach to
warfare with an emphasis on ranged firepower. Its infantry
delivers unrelenting fire at a distance by employing a large
number of riflemen such as long gunners and trenchers.
These soldiers form the backbone of the army and make up
THE CYGNARAN MILITARY
10
the bulk of its numbers. Cygnar also maintains an impressive
array of heavy infantry, including its famed Storm Knights.
These soldiers wield mechanikally augmented weaponry to
deliver the power of lightning to Cygnars enemies.
Supporting these forces are a range of specialized soldiers
and crews. These support troops include field mechaniks,
who maintain the nations warjacks; gun mages, who
combine firearms and sorcery to devastating effect; and the
rangers of the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service, who are
versed in scouting, discerning enemy troop movements, and
assisting in strike coordination.
Cygnars wealth and resources have allowed it to augment
its own formidable forces by establishing long-standing
relationships with many reputable professional mercenary
companies. These soldiers-for-hire are not relied upon to
protect Cygnars most vital interests on their own, but they
strengthen existing forces with their numbers and versatility.
The mercenary tradition has deep and ancient roots in
the region, and Cygnar hires only those companies with a
reputation for obeying strict contractual laws.
Enlistment in the Cygnaran Army has long been voluntary.
Most enlisted soldiers begin their military careers among
the ranks of the long gunners or the trenchers. The
more specialized service branches each have their own
requirements for recruits, often looking for specific physical
or personality traits that are key indicators of a soldiers
suitability for heavy infantry, cavalry, or other roles. In
addition, career soldiers of notable merit may be singled out
for advanced training.
Since the Raelthorne dynasty took the throne, commissioned
officers are no longer drawn exclusively from the Cygnaran
aristocracy, as had been the tradition previously. Soldiers
now more easily rise through the ranks by merit and are
frequently allowed to keep brevet ranks earned in the
fieldnot an uncommon occurrence among companies with
heavy casualties. Attending a military academy remains
the best way to ensure an officers commission, and even
brevet officers eventually receive formal training. The most
prominent military school is the Strategic Academy, which
maintains locations in Point Bourne and Caspia.
Four Armies
Cygnar is a large nation in the unfortunate position of being
surrounded by hostile powers. Each of the kingdoms four
corners is isolated from the others as much by imposing
geography as by distance, and many dedicated military
personnel are required to defend the nation against
immediate threats. In recognition of this fact, the Cygnaran
Army is divided into four smaller armies, each tasked with
defending a specific region. Warmaster General Ebonhart
is supreme commander of the entire Cygnaran Army. He
coordinates shared actions among the forces and determines
their current priorities, reassigning manpower and key
personnel as needed.

THE STRATEGIC ACADEMY
A lasting legacy of King Hector Sunbright IV, the Strategic
Academy (SA) has earned its reputation as a cornerstone of the
Cygnaran Army. The SA provides commissioned officers with a
thorough background in military history, tactics, engineering,
and philosophy. Its instructors also train cadets to endure
the physical rigors of war and to master the weapons used by
modern soldiers. Its foremost goal is to create great leaders
by developing its cadets intellectually, physically, militarily,
and ethically. Academy staff also coordinate arcane instruction
and research. The SA is tasked to locate, harness, and develop
unique talents such as gun mages and warcasters.
The academy includes programs to train specialists such
as military alchemists, who produce munitions, and field
mechaniks dedicated to warjack repair and fabrication. The
stormsmiths are a separate branch of arcane researchers who
rely on technology to call down the fury of the heavens. Field
mechaniks and stormsmith stormcallers are as vital to Cygnaran
operations as its soldiers, and the hazards of their vocations
earn them the respect of enlisted men and officers alike.
The Strategic Academy is divided into two major campuses.
The original grounds are in Caspia, located within a section of
the great wall overlooking the Black River. Commander Adept
Birk Kinbrace is the current chancellor, and under his expert
supervision the academy has further refined the nations
warcaster training program. The Caspian campus also focuses
on teaching the military applications of mechanika, and they
work closely with the Cygnaran Armory.
The Point Bourne branch is also highly regarded and is
particularly noted for its expertise in training gun mages and
readying warcasters for front-line duty in environments like
the Thornwood. The Tempest Academy was created at Point
Bourne, and the majority of Cygnars gun mages train there.
In recent decades more warcasters have mastered their craft
at Point Bourne than in Caspia, and it is fully equipped for such
tasks, including maintaining numerous older warjacks put
aside specifically for apprentices and journeymen. The current
chancellor is Commander Elias Sunbright, son of the Duke of
the Western Midlunds, who assumed the post in 610AR.
The First Army
(Northern Army)
The First Army has traditionally shouldered the difficult
responsibility of defending Cygnars northernmost border
against Khador. Since its establishment, this army has seen
more combat than the other three armies combined. The
fighting men and women of the First are rightfully proud of
their singular expertise in battling Cygnars greatest rival,
and the recent escalation of fighting in this region has forced
them to become familiar with the tactics of both Cryx and the
Protectorate.
In the aftermath of the Llaelese War, the First Army endured
severe setbacks. The Khadorans overran the fortress of
Northguard and occupied the vast Thornwood Forest,
pushing the First Army back to the Dragons Tongue River.
This defeat and retreat was one of the bleakest periods in
the armys history, but despite the heavy casualties suffered
across the ranks, these hardened border defenders were up
to the task of regaining what was lost and proved they are
neither cowed nor broken.
Recent conflicts have pitted the First Army against the
nightmarish forces of Cryx as well. Cryxian infiltrators
entrenched themselves in the Thornwood Forest from
607609AR as part of the largest concerted assault on the
mainland since the Scharde Invasions. Driving them out
required a combined effort by the First Army and elements
of the Second. Even then, ending this conflict required
forming a tense alliance with Khador and cooperation with
Protectorate military forces in the region.
Khador broke its alliance with Cygnar almost immediately,
even as the Second Cygnaran Civil War began and spread
across the kingdom, occupying the attention of the king
and many of his most loyal forces. Hostilities with Khador
occupied the First Army with yet another bloody conflict
in the Thornwood. While the opening days of this clash
looked bleak, the First rallied and gained the opportunity
to repay Khador for Northguard. The First managed to hold
back an opportunistic strike by the Khadoran 2nd Army,
consolidating its scattered forces and eventually driving
the Khadorans from the forest. The Cygnarans attained this
victory despite limited supplies and significant casualties
from fighting with the Cryxians. Many new Cygnaran heroes
arose in the process of reclaiming the Thornwood.
The battles against Khador in the Thornwood did not permit
the First Army to take part in the unfolding civil conflict
King Leto ordered these forces to focus on preserving the
north from Khadoran invasion. The end of the Thornwood
conflict was followed by more than a year of tense peace, but
the recent campaign in Llael has summoned the men and
women of the First Army, though the initial clashes were
handled by Lord General Strykers Storm Division.
Lord General Duggan leads the First Army from Northguard,
but its official headquarters is in Point Bourne. Northguard
was severely damaged in the conflicts of 606607 and has
yet to be fully restored, though it serves as an important
northern garrison and bastion. Other commanders serving
in this army include Generals Galt Langworth, Kierlan
Krismoor, Dargus Mathern, Shay Terswell, Joseph Worley,
and Sebastian Nemowhen the latters duties as artificer
general do not require him elsewhere.
THE CYGNARAN MILITARY
11

STRYKERS STORM DIVISION
Previously attached to Cygnars Second Army and still
designated as the 6th Division, the Storm Division has
become a sizable autonomous military force commanded by
Lord General Coleman Stryker, who was promoted to that
rank at the end of 608AR. As a lord general, Stryker answers
only to the warmaster general and the king. This division is
viewed by many as the ultimate culmination of the ongoing
efforts to modernize and transform Cygnars army, making
use of the latest weaponry and hardware produced by the
Cygnaran Armory. Composed of the largest concentration of
Storm Knights in Cygnar, it is a highly mobile force that can
be reallocated quickly to any theater of war where it is most
needed. The division was freed from a permanent garrison to
allow it to serve at the vanguard of any new conflict.
As part of the Second Army, this division earned its fame fighting
the Protectorate of Menoth in the Caspia-Sul War, but it has
since gained just as many accolades in the north battling Cryx
and Khador. The Storm Division is assigned the most difficult,
perilous, and sensitive missions, and at any given time it might
include a number of other major warcasters answering to
Stryker. Its most recent mission was to strike deep into Llael,
seizing the city of Riversmet with a follow-up attack on Rynyr.
THE CYGNARAN MILITARY
12
The Second Army
(Army of the Black River)
The Second Army defends the eastern border, maintaining
a large garrison at the capital and smaller forces at Fort Falk
and Eastwall. It has traditionally defended Corvis as well,
but since Khadors invasion of the Thornwood in 607 AR
that city has also hosted soldiers of the First Army. Most
Second Army battalions in the city were transferred to the
First to reinforce its numbers and shore up defenses along
the contested northern border.
Although it relies on a foundation of long gunners and
trenchers, the Second Army also includes the largest
proportion of heavy infantry and cavalry in the Cygnaran
Army, including veteran Storm Knights and Royal Sword
Knights. Many ranking officers of these companies are the
vassals of nobles sitting on the Royal Assembly. Because the
Cygnaran Armory operates out of Caspia, the Second Army
also boasts substantial warjack support and often serves as
the testing ground for new chassis and weapon designs.
Providing repair and resupply to these forces is considerably
faster and easier than to Cygnars other armies, thanks to the
commercial and industrial might of the capital.
The Second Army earned a reputation for doggedness
during the Caspia-Sul War of 606607 AR, a costly conflict
that caused significant damage to both cities. In more
recent years, it engaged in battles against the traitors of the
Fourth Army and their Protectorate allies during the Second
Cygnaran Civil War. Survivors of the conflict consolidated
into veteran regiments that are among the most dedicated in
Cygnars four armies.
At present, Lord General Evelyn Turpin leads the Second
Army from its headquarters in Caspia. Granddaughter of
decorated former Warmaster General Olsen Turpin, who
fought under King Leto, Lord General Turpin is the youngest
individual to achieve this rank other than Coleman Stryker
of the Storm Division.
The 8th Division, which protects Caspia against their
Protectorate counterparts in Sul, is led by General Artoris
Halstead. General Alain Runewood commands the 7th
Division out of Eastwall, and his troops guard a sizable
portion of the eastern border. The northern patrols of this
border report to General Elizabeth Dutton, who commands
the 12th Division from Fort Falk.
The Third Army
(Army of the Wyrmwall)
Based out of Highgate, the Third Army is responsible for
protecting the southern shores, primarily from Cryxian
attack. No soldiers in Cygnar are better versed in Cryxian
tactics than those in the Third, and this army includes a sizable
complement of Morrowan priests and Precursor Knights to
assist in battling these horrors. Due to the ability of Cryxian
forces to strike and vanish without warning, defending the
coastline has always proved a challenge, and in recent years
the threat has escalated to unprecedented levels.
Operationally, the Third is quite different from the other
armies of Cygnar, since none of the others work as closely
with the Cygnaran Navy. In fact, army and navy personnel
here are tightly integrated and accustomed to joint
operations. The admirals of the Southern Fleet stationed at
Highgate answer to both Lord General Vincent Gollan and
their lord admiralan unusual but effective partnership. At
times, vessels from both the Northern and Eastern Fleets join
in these assignments, and they have also shared operations
with squadrons and soldiers from Ord.
Lord General Vincent Gollan, earl of Shieldpoint and senior
knight of the Prophet, has led the Third Army for over thirty
years. Though he is well past his prime, Gollan is a living
legend among the Third, respected as both a servant of
Morrow and a determined enemy of Cryx. He surprised King
Leto by marching to the sovereigns aid at the end of the civil
war, proving his loyalty to the crown.
From Highgate, Lord General Gollan supervises the armys
complex engagements both at sea and on land. Ancillary
garrisons exist at numerous forts along the western and southern
coast. General Bors Gately commands the large 9th Division
out of Highgate itself, while Commander Harriet Pike leads
the 13th Division from Westwatch, the armys northernmost
outpost. Since Evelyn Turpin was promoted to lead the Second
Army, the 14th Division is now led by Commander Matthias
Roper. While headquartered in Mercir, Commander Ropers
garrison includes both the reserves and the battle-ready patrols
that scour the Wyrmwall Mountains for threats to the realm.
The Fourth Army
(Army of the Dragons Tongue)
Cygnars Fourth Army is the smallest of Cygnars armies,
having historically been a reserve force numbering only about
28,000 soldiers. Because Cygnars kings have considered it
important to watch all borders, the Fourth Army is charged
with patrolling the land shared with Ord, a relatively friendly
nation. Its less vital mission turned the Fourth into more of a
rarely deployed reserve force than an active army and left it
vulnerable to corruption.
The Fourth was historically used as a dumping ground
for undesirable and insubordinate soldiers branded as
troublesome but not incompetent enough to be booted from
service. While such elements did not comprise the majority
of the army, the Fourth nonetheless counted more criminal
behavior among its ranks than the rest of the army as a
whole, including extortion, graft, bribery, misallocation of
resources, looting, and violence against civilians.
This disreputable state opened the door for the ranking
officers of the Fourth Army to become involved in a treasonous
conspiracy with some of Cygnars most powerful nobles,
who sought to reinstate the exiled Vinter RaelthorneIV to
the nations throne. Their seditious plans were hatched in
early 609AR with the onset of the Second Cygnaran Civil
War but did not succeed, leading to the death of Vinter in
the Battle of Fharin. The armys involvement prompted an
investigation into the conduct of the Fourths officer corps,
and many officers were unceremoniously discharged. Most
who were willing to bend the knee to Cygnars new king
were pardoned, thereby escaping execution for their crimes.
The Fourth Army is in a period of rebuilding. Loyal officers
from other armies, most notably the First, have been
transferred to the Fourth to ensure its future loyalty, and the
Inner Council is working on incentives to lure fresh recruits to
the ranks. Leadership of the Fourth Army has been given to
Commander Miller Gant, a reliable veteran of Strykers Storm
Division. To assist in restructuring the army, Cygnar opened
its coffers to hire mercenary warcaster General Ossrum Dhurg
as a consultant and tasked him with assisting Gant in bringing
the Fourth up to the highest standards of discipline. Dhurg
draws on decades of experience organizing warriors from
disparate Rhulic clans into a professional fighting force. For all
its checkered past, the Fourth Army is a reflection of Cygnar
itselfafter surviving a period of conflict and uncertainty, it is
being rebuilt into something greater.
THE CYGNARAN MILITARY
13
 The Cygnaran Navy
Cygnar boasts the longest stretch of continuous shoreline of any
nation in the Iron Kingdoms, and it has the dubious distinction
of sharing the Broken Coast with Cryx. The responsibility for
patrolling these waters falls to the Cygnaran Navy, commanded
by Navarch Galten SparholmIII, who took over after the
retirement of Govan Trent in 609 AR. The navy maintains officer
training facilities separate from the army, supervised from the
Sentinel Point Naval Fortress south of Caspia,.
The Cygnaran Navy is divided into three distinct fleets:
the Northern Fleet, based in Ceryl and assigned to guard
Cygnars northern waters against all threats, including the
Khadoran Navy; the Eastern Fleet (or Caspian Fleet), based
in Caspia and charged with patrolling the Gulf of Cygnar;
and the Southern Fleet, based in Highgate and entrusted with
defending the southern peninsula most directly threatened
by Cryx. These fleets are respectively led by Lord Admirals
Tucker Luptine, Blythe Wassal, and Horace Nelson, each with
several subordinate admirals serving them. The Southern
Fleet is the largest and sees the most action, working closely
with Cygnars Third Army to protect the kingdom from Cryx
with support from the other two fleets. The Southern Fleet
also plays a role in protecting the shipping lanes between
southern Cygnar and Zu as well as other Cygnaran colonies
abroad, though their ability to do so is limited. The privately
owned Mercarian League has its own warships to escort its
trading vessels, and League officers coordinate and cooperate
with their counterparts in the navy.
Cygnar classifies its warships according to a system of ratings.
First-rate ships of the line are the largest naval vessels in all
of western Immoren and typically serve as flagships to fleet
admirals. Second- and third-rate ships are somewhat smaller,
but their maneuverability and considerable firepower make
them masters of naval combat. With ratings all the way
down to sixth, smaller ships like schooners, frigates, and
corvettes comprise the reconnaissance and supply ships of
the Cygnaran Navy. Almost all naval ships, no matter their
age or class, are equipped with both sails and steam engines.
Cygnar boasts the most modern naval force to sail the
Meredius. Its small but growing fleet of ironhull warships,
heavily armored and driven purely by steam, signals a move
away from sail and hybrid power, though many captains still
prefer the latter. The Cygnaran Navy has even commissioned
several highly advanced vessels, including a number of
experimental submersibles.
Service Branches
Reflecting its combined-arms approach to warfare, the
Cygnaran Army is composed of a diverse array of service
branches, including a trencher infantry corps that is the
THE CYGNARAN MILITARY
14
backbone of the army. Storm Knights and gun mages are
part of both the infantry and the armys small cavalry arm
and bring considerable versatility to their roles. Support
units include the field mechaniks who maintain the nations
warjacks and the rangers of the Cygnaran Reconnaissance
Service.
Long Gunners
Since the advent of the long gun, Cygnar has fielded skilled
riflemen as part of its vast armies. Long gunners have an
extensive history of service and historically have represented
one of Cygnars two primary infantry servicesthe other
being the trenchers. However, the days of the venerable
long gunner may be nearing their end. Most Cygnaran
officers prefer to lead the more versatile trencher corps in the
field. Long gunners are still highly valued for their ability
to provide concentrated firepower, but their numbers have
diminished as their role has become more specialized.
Trencher Corps
The men and women of the trenchers comprise the
toughened core of the enlisted soldiers of the Cygnaran
Army. Nicknamed gravediggers for their courage and the
high casualties they sometimes suffer while defending their
fortifications, they are the first onto the field and often the last
to leave. Trenchers form the bulk of any Cygnaran vanguard.
Spread across trench lines and hastily dug emplacements,
they seize ground and hold it, enduring withering enemy fire
and buying time for the rest of the army.
The standard trencher weapon is a heavy rifle with a
bayonet, supplemented by smoke grenades to obscure the
soldiers advance. Trenchers endure a lengthy period of
training and physical conditioning that prepares them for all
battlefield conditions. Trencher regiments are supported by
mobile artillery teams and specialist units like commandos.
To become a trencher commando, a soldier must complete a
punishing training regimen taught by veteran instructors of
the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service. Such units specialize
in irregular warfare and alternative weaponry.
The trencher corps began as an experiment by Cygnaran
generals, who wanted to see if harsh training might transform
unfit soldiers into hardened and versatile fighters. The
programs success has made trenchers the cornerstone of the
Cygnaran Army. It is also the primary service branch open
to Cygnaran trollkin and ogrun with patriotic inclinations.
Storm Knights
Selected from the ranks of enlisted and commissioned soldiers,
Storm Knights are galvanic warriors trained to fight in heavy
plate armor that insulates them against the lethal currents of
the weaponry they wield. Several branches of Storm Knights
exist, each with a distinct battlefield role. The largest number
train as Stormblades. These warriors specialize in leading
aggressive advances, relying on their powerful storm glaives
to break through heavy armor. The Stormguard are trained to
fight in close formations with their voltaic halberds, while the
Storm Lances are a swift and hard-hitting cavalry force at the
vanguard of Cygnars armies. The Storm Knights were founded
by Leto Raelthorne during his time as VinterIVs warmaster
general and have since earned a reputation as the elite heavy
infantry and cavalry in service of the Cygnaran crown.
Royal Sword Knights
Among the oldest of the knightly orders in western Immoren
and drawn exclusively from noble Cygnaran families, the
Royal Sword Knights have been a pillar of Cygnars military
for centuries. Unlike some modern knightly orders, these
knights fight with their traditional weaponsthe Caspian
battle blade and shield. Upon a knights acceptance into this
order, he also receives a ceremonial blade to be kept with
him at all times. He is expected to maintain this ornamental
weapon throughout his life, never to be drawn in battle.
Upon a valiant knights death, the blade is buried alongside
him to keep him safe in the wilds of Urcaen.
Militant Order of the
Arcane Tempest
For more than two decades, the gun mages of the Militant
Order of the Arcane Tempest have trained in the art of
harnessing arcane powers to augment their gunfighting
prowess. The order grew out of the Tempest Academy, an
adjunct of the Strategic Academy established by Warmaster
General Carston Laddermore at the height of VinterIVs
reign. Originally a cabal of arcanists who came together in
the early days of the gun mages craft, over time this group
became a true branch of the Cygnaran Army and has grown
into a professional and disciplined fighting force.
Initiates of the Arcane Tempest undergo strenuous training
at the Point Bourne Strategic Academy. All graduates are
lethal marksmen, having mastered a variety of gun-based
sorceries and small-unit tactics before earning the right to
wield the magelock pistol and wear the distinctive uniform of
the Arcane Tempest. Most often they are organized into small
strike teams within larger forces, whose commanders can
use them against special targets. Sometimes these teams are
integrated into regular infantry companies, fighting alongside
trenchers, long gunners, heavy infantry, or rangers. Some
strike forces set aside for special tasks also share training with
the CRS. This is also true of Tempest Academy initiates who
score highly enough for cavalry aptitude and train to become
Tempest Blazers, extremely versatile light cavalrymen.
Stormsmiths
Many of todays most brilliant minds serve the Cygnaran
Army, and notable among these eccentric patriots are
the stormsmiths. After being recruited for their aptitude
and trained by the Strategic Academy, stormsmiths are
immersed in the fields of weather manipulation and galvanic
thaumaturgy. Though many spend the bulk of their time
engaged in theoretical voltaic research, the ultimate testing
ground for their work is the battlefield, where they take pride
in supporting both their research and their comrades with
the practical and lethal application of fulgurating energies.
Cygnaran Reconnaissance
Service
Traditionally, the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service (CRS)
was tasked with overseeing Cygnars military scouts and
cartographers, and this remains its acknowledged primary
function. The majority of its personnel are rangers working
alongside the military. Picked from among the toughest
and brightest the military has to offer, rangers are trained
in survival skills, stealth, and secret communications. They
function in a variety of roles, including guides, forward
observers, and clandestine operatives, typically in self-
contained teams no larger than a squad. Their swift sergeants
represent the pinnacle of their fighting ranks.
Following the dissolution of the spy network employed by
King Vinter IV, which was dominated by the Inquisition,
King Leto broadened the purview of the CRS to also serve
as Cygnars intelligence-gathering body. Its officers now
supervise the nations convoluted network of spies, contacts,
and informants, including covert agents. To lead this
organization, Leto created the rank of scout general, a position
that would report directly to the king and coordinate the
activities of the rangers along with the office of the warmaster
general. Bolden Rebald has held this post since its inception.
As Cygnars premier spy agency, the CRS is interested in both
domestic and foreign affairsanything that threatens the peace
and welfare of the nation. It has succeeded in infiltrating trade,
religious, and criminal organizations as well as compromising
foreign governments and military structures.
Agents in the field report to senior field agents or ranking
CRS handlers and are supported by networks of safe
houses and secret arms caches. Field agents, most of whom
are officers, are tasked with creating personal networks of
contacts and informants, including recruiting those who can
work and live on foreign soil. They often rely on complex
coded messages and other clandestine means of contact.
Field agents are expected to report regularly to a liaison in
order to keep information flowing and to receive orders. CRS
colonels supervise the liaisons, coordinating the missions of
junior field agents, covert gun mage strike teams, or military
rangers, and report directly to the scout general.

 CYGNAR THEME FORCE

HEAVY METAL
Although Cygnar generally prefers a combined-arms approach to conflict, when its advanced warjacks are
massed on the field under the control of a skilled warcaster, they are a match for any enemy. Such large, self-
sufficient battlegroups are typically deployed to besiege fixed positions or to meet concentrations of enemy
armor and heavy infantry on the battlefield. Where Cygnar faces deeply entrenched or armored foes, the
tread of its mighty machines shakes the earth and its storm technology blackens the sky.

 WARCASTERS
OF CYGNAR
Cygnar rightfully considers itself the birthplace of both warjacks
and warcasters. Since the first warcasters emerged at the end of
the Rebellion against the Orgoth and manifested their talents,
their kind has reshaped the face of warfare. No other nation
has invested so much in training, arming, and integrating these
exceptional individuals into its fighting forces.
Mechanika and other evolving technologies are a defining
feature of the Cygnaran Army. The fact that warcasters can
use these technologies to maximum effect has made Cygnar
a force to be reckoned with. The Cygnaran doctrine of war
focuses on deploying fewer but better-trained soldiers
to achieve victory in the field. They compensate for raw
numbers with discipline, equipment, and overwhelming
firepower. Cygnars warcasters embody this doctrine and
have become a symbol of hope for combatants on the front
lines as well as for the rest of the nations populace.
Cygnar & the Arcane
Cygnar is the birthplace of organized magic, but this legacy
has not quieted the distrust some of its people feel toward the
gifted. The government keeps a wary eye on arcanists living
within the nations borders who do not belong to a respected
organization like the Fraternal Order of Wizardry. Those who
practice sorcery and are unwilling to join the military are
typically viewed with suspicion and fear. In Cygnar the only
trusted magic is that which has been studied and catalogued.
This rigid, structured approach to the arcane also applies to
the instruction and supervision of the nations warcasters.
18
The development of Cygnars modern warcaster training
program drew on the knowledge and expertise of the realms
arcanists, including leading members of the Fraternal Order
of Wizardry. After the Lions Coup, training practices were
reformed with the assistance of Magus Arland Calster of
the Caspian branch of the Fraternal Order, modernizing
processes and removing some of the influence of VinterIVs
Inquisition. King Leto Raelthorne sought to improve upon
Cygnars existing regimen through a stronger emphasis on
precise control and battlegroup functionality; in addition,
the older tradition of journeyman warcasters training under
senior warcaster mentors was refined to include a systematic
testing regimen that ensured every magus possessed the
requisite fundamental skills before being promoted. The
modern journeyman process has served very well, achieving
a high standard of excellence among Cygnars warcasters.
Cygnars warcasters each have their individual strengths
and unique skills, but the systematic approach to magic
means they also draw on a number of common techniques
in battle, including a reliance on lightning magic, protective
spells to shield the nations valuable soldiers, and spells
that augment the mechanika for which Cygnar is famed.
In recent times, lightning has been used as a power source
for the innovative weaponry wielded by several warcasters
and many of Cygnars soldiers, such as the Storm Knights
and stormsmiths. The last few years have also seen various
iterations of voltaic-powered warcaster armor. Originally
utilized only by Sebastian Nemo, such armor has since been
employed by several other prominent warcasters, including
Lord General Stryker, Major Haley, and Major Maddox.
Recruitment
The Cygnaran crown has invested considerable resources
in locating those who manifest the rare ability to become
a warcaster. The Strategic Academy oversees the ongoing
search for these talented individuals. Its branches in
Caspia and Point Bourne support a sizable staff of experts
whose lifes work is to locate, recruit, and instruct military
arcanists to turn them into battlefield assets. Many of these
recruits become stormsmiths, arcane mechaniks, gun mages,
alchemists, or other specialists, but the search for potential
warcasters is the highest priority.
The Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service assists the Strategic
Academy in finding warcasters, making use of its extensive
network of agents, contacts, and informants. When the
CRS receives reports of unusual disturbances involving
magic or mechanika, it is standard policy to inform the
Strategic Academy, which then dispatches investigators who
conduct interviews and tests to identify potentially gifted
individuals. Incidents of unexpected magic combined with
erratic steamjack behavior are the most likely indicators of an
emerging warcaster talent.
Potential warcasters are notoriously difficult to identify,
especially if their talent is latent. The task is made easier
when the talent activates at an early age, as there may be clear
outward signs such as a faint glow in the individuals eyes
when in close contact with mechanikal objects. Those with the
warcaster gift may draw on their power without realizing it,
demonstrating preternatural reflexes, unusually keen senses,
or a heightened awareness of their surroundings, and some
will manifest spontaneous magic when under duress. This
ability often remains dormant well into adulthood, however,
awakening only at a time of stress or crisis while in proximity
to steamjacks or warjacks.
Those with little or no exposure to mechanika have a much
lower chance of ever definitively manifesting their potential.
The conditions needed to awaken the warcaster talent
are most commonly found on the field of battle, so it is no
surprise that many warcaster candidates are discovered
among the ranks of the Cygnaran military when soldiers are
fighting side by side with warjacks. Those with undiscovered
talents may serve for years while seeming to be nothing
more than remarkable soldiers. When their abilities finally
awaken, such individuals are sent to the Strategic Academy
WARCASTERS OF CYGNAR
19
 for proper training. There they learn to harness their gifts, to
integrate their minds with advanced weapons and armor, to
wield magic, and to control warjacks. In addition, those who
are not yet full officers continue their officer training at the
same time.
The Cygnaran government keeps records of the lineage of
warcasters who have served since the kingdom was founded
and routinely tests descendants for latent potential. This testing
is an unreliable indicator because the warcaster talent only
rarely passes from one generation to the next, but there are a
select few bloodlines that have yielded warcasters with greater
regularity than the average. Twins have also been known to
share this gift, and history has shown that arcane talents seem
to arise more frequently in twins than in regular siblings.
Once identified, individuals with warcaster talent are
put under considerable pressure to enlist if they are not
already part of the Cygnaran military. In the past, when
the Inquisition oversaw the recruitment of warcasters,
these candidates were given little choice in the matter, since
refusing to serve often translated into a death sentence. With
the discontinuation of the Inquisition, these policies were
also swept aside. While this practice is no longer followed
and warcasters are under no legal compulsion to enlist,
recruiters do stress that untrained arcanists are at greater
risk of bringing harm to themselves and to others, which can
have severe legal repercussions.
WARCASTERS OF CYGNAR
20
In truth, military service as a warcaster is a rewarding career
with good pay and an officers commission upon completion
of training. It is a profession that offers greater status and
excitement than most. Rarely do potential warcasters refuse
the call outright, especially if they are already serving in the
military. Some do withdraw after serving out a term, turning
to the mercenary life instead.
The Military Role of
the Warcaster
Cygnaran warcasters are given tremendous operational
freedom regardless of rank. They move with liberty from one
battlefield to another and are granted relatively unfettered
access to warjacks and supplies. While Cygnaran warcasters
may be temporarily attached to a given army division or
company, they are commonly transferred where they are
most needed. More often than not, when warcasters ask to be
accompanied by the trusted officers and soldiers with whom
they have forged relationships, those requests are granted.
Managing these assets can be a headache for the king and
generals alike, but warcasters are irreplaceable military assets
that are handled differently from other officers. The military
hierarchy commands them with care and deliberation, giving
them considerable latitude. Warcasters are theoretically
accountable to the same code of honor and behavior as the
rest of the military, but they are seldom harshly disciplined.
Some soldiers resent the double standard, but most who have
served any time in the field have witnessed the warcasters
ability to radically alter the outcome of a battle and so do not
begrudge them their special status.
After completing training at the Strategic Academy, either in
Caspia or in Point Bourne, warcasters are guaranteed an officer
commission. Upon graduation they become journeymen and
are promoted to lieutenant if they do not already carry that
rank or higher. Journeyman warcasters must complete a tour
of service under the supervision of a senior warcaster, an
obligation that varies in length from six months to a year or
longer depending on the assessment of their mentor. Upon
completing the journeyman tour, a warcaster is promoted to
captain and takes on the full authority and responsibility of
his rank.
A warcaster entering active service is assigned a complement
of warjacks along with a supply train and support staff.
Senior warcasters can request specific warjacks from the
military as needed, and those jacks will remain with them
as long as the caster desires, in most circumstances. Often,
a warjack that spends long periods of time with a warcaster
ARCANE RANKS
The Strategic Academy bestows an additional rank to soldiers
who have undergone arcane training, including gun mages,
arcane mechaniks, gifted stormsmiths, and warcasters. These
ranks are honorific and do not convey military authority. In
circumstances where arcane specialists of the same rank
cooperate on tasks related to their specialty, arcane rank
might affect who is given oversight.
All military arcanists begin training as apprentices and end
training as journeymen. Journeyman status denotes an
important probationary period during which theory is put
to the test and powers are applied in the field. Individuals
who have completed their journeymanship are promoted to
magus and are counted as acknowledged members of the
arcane specialty. Few receive higher arcane ranks.
APPRENTICE JOURNEYMAN
will form a permanent bond, developing a personality that
can affect behavior in combat. Technically these jacks are still
owned by the army, not the warcaster, though no one in the
supply chain would dare reassign valued jacks away from
a warcaster who has expressed a strong preference. Most
warcasters field battlegroups with one or two favored jacks
and rotate out any others as needed for the mission at hand.
While all warcasters have considerable clout, the scope of
what they can requisition increases proportionately with
rank. A warcaster commander can call on entire brigades,
commanding tens of thousands of soldiers if need be. Even
a freshly minted captain has flexibility in selecting personnel
and equipment but will generally command a much smaller
complement. A warcasters authority extends beyond his
rank in a number of ways. Though warcasters must obey
orders given by higher-ranking command officers, in battle
a warcaster has operational control, even over officers who
outrank them. When several warcasters are present in a single
engagement they follow an operational hierarchy, deferring
to the highest-ranked warcaster. Similarly, when a warcaster
must be called to task or reprimanded, it is generally handled
by a higher-ranking warcaster. The senior-most warcasters
are answerable only to the warmaster general and the king.
Only those who have demonstrated exceptional power
and control in a given field are promoted to adept. Each
specialization has specific standards that an arcanist must
meet before qualifying for this esteemed appellation.
The ultimate rank of prime is much more rare, signifying a
practitioner of unequivocal genius who possesses unique
mastery. The Strategic Academys arcane instructors meet
annually to determine whether any existing magi deserve
adept or prime status. The rank of prime requires a unanimous
vote from the arcane instructors of both academy faculties.
This requirement has led to criticism that the standards for
these appellations are unreasonably high, but the academy
board insists these ranks would lose their prestige if awarded
more liberally. The only active-duty warcaster who sits on this
board is Sebastian Nemo, who is himself an adept.

Brisbane is a man who eats, sleeps, and breathes warfare.
He is a professional soldier with more field experience than
virtually any other warcaster in the Cygnaran Army. It
has been said there is no strategic obstacle the man cannot
overcome, nor is there any wall in western Immoren that can
stand against him.
Brisbane has served the Cygnaran military faithfully for
over two decades, living in the field almost constantly.
Whereas other warcasters of Cygnar are embroiled in various
personal or political intrigues, Brisbane is a soldier, pure and
simple. This is not to say he is overly bloodthirsty or lacks
intelligence, only that he embraces a simpler life, a life with
a single, narrow purpose: to negotiate the battlefield and
emerge victorious.
Armed with a personal arsenal of mechanikal weapons,
Brisbane has torn apart ramparts and palisades with his war

millennia, a visible symbol of the Menite faith. When Siege
succeeded in breaching those walls, he shook the Sul-Menites
to the very core of their beliefs.
In the months of bitter street-fighting that followed the
incursion of Sul, Major Brisbane was key to many of Cygnars
successes. His intuitive understanding of demolitions,
warfare, and artillery, along with his habitual grim
determination, made him superbly suited for the realities of
urban combat.
After the Caspia-Sul War, Major Brisbane was sent north
to help reinforce Cygnars war-torn and tattered border.
Even being grievously wounded in a clash with an insane
Khadoran warcaster could not blunt Sieges enthusiasm for
battle or his dedication to duty. After the gun mage Allister
Caine helped him escape from Khadoran captivity, Brisbane
went on to play a significant role in defending Fharin during
the Second Cygnaran Civil War. So long as there is breath in
his lungs, he will stand on the front line of Cygnars conflicts.

Encased in his enormous steam-powered armor, Edward
Dominic Darius strides into battle like a man of iron. This
armor is an invention of his own design that surrounds him
with a bulwark of solid steel and machinery, augmenting his
strength while protecting his hide. Known in military circles
as the mechanik, he earned his moniker not only for his
mechanikal mastery but also for the efficiency with which he
dismantles adversaries in his path.
No other warcaster in the service of the crown has logged
more time elbow-deep in grease and gears, repairing and
readying warjacks for battle. Even Nemo defers to the practical
expertise of Dominic Darius, and the two collaborated on the
designs for Cygnars great colossals and the factories to build
them. Though most warcasters rely on a team of mechaniks
to maintain their warjacks, Darius insists on maintaining his
machines himself. Instead of allowing scrapped warjacks to
rust away, he has restored countless wrecks, breathing life
into the most dilapidated hulks.
Darius steam-powered armor serves many uses. Not only
does it allow him to keep a small arsenal at the ready, but
28
he can also carry around a shops worth of heavy tools. The
mechanikal armor can withstand considerable punishment
while giving Darius the strength to wield an Ironclads quake
hammer in one hand and an oversized mechaniks wrench in
the other. The powerful cannon mounted on the shoulder uses
steam pressure to propel devastating high-explosive rounds.
The most ingenious element of this walking arsenal is
the halfjack deployment system at the rear of the armored
chassis. Darius can unleash several simple self-powered
machines to serve both as weapons and as battlefield repair
assistants. Each halfjack carries a powerful explosive charge
and can burrow into the earth to transform into a devastating
remote landmine.
Darius and his battlegroup can respond to any threat with
surprising alacrity. More than one Khadoran kommander
has ordered an attack based on intelligence that suggested
Cygnars warjacks were too far from the front to respond,
only to have their plans shattered by the rapid arrival of
Darius and his battlegroup. Captain E. Dominic Darius
shrinks from no challenge, standing resolutely alongside his
men and warjacks even when seriously outnumbered.

The transition from journeyman to full-fledged warcaster is
never easy, but Captain Allison Jakes earned her promotion
through circumstances far beyond the scope of any ordinary
trial. She now carries herself with the confidence of one who
has seen the ravages of war, moving across the battlefield
with a grace expressed through acrobatic stunts, nimble
parries, and cunning dodges. Wielding a pair of swords,
Jakes cuts through the opposition with a fluidity that speaks
of her skill as a duelist and the innumerable hours she has
devoted to mastering the art of close combat. As she advances
downfield, she freely lashes her foes with deadly voltaic
strikes, and those who fight alongside her find themselves
moving with the speed of a swiftly approaching storm. With
each new battle her reputation grows, and despite her youth
she commands the respect of any fortunate enough to serve
under her command.
The death of her mentor during her journeyman tour was
a severe blow to Jakes, but this experience was only the
beginning of her extended ordeal. Battling Khadorans on
a mission deep within the Thornwood, Jakes detachment
was cut off from the rest of the army. Rather than retreat
from the forest, she gathered the survivors and pressed on
to complete her objective, facing both the Khadoran forces
and a host of Cryxians lurking in the shadows. The ensuing
string of battles ultimately ended with Jakes confronting the
risen corpse of Commander Sturgis, a corrupted mockery of
her former mentor reanimated by the Cryxians. This horrific
reunion had a lasting and traumatic impact on Jakes.
Following these events, Jakes was evaluated by a military
tribunal and absolved of any fault in the death of Sturgis.
She had expected to be punished, but the tribunal instead
lauded her for going above and beyond the duties of her
junior rank, effectively commanding her forces in a manner
befitting a true Cygnaran warcaster. Jakes received the
arcane rank of magus and was promoted to captain; her
journeyman tour had ended.
Since her promotion she has continued to strive for perfection
as both a combatant and officer. Jakes now wields dual swords
reforged from the broken remains of Sturgis bladed staff. As
they did when the staff was whole, these twin blades crackle
with arcane and voltaic energies, and through Captain Jakes
they continue to serve a noble purpose. Jakes continually
seeks to rise above the darkness that had threatened to destroy
her and to find a way to honor the memory of Commander
Sturgis through her actions on the battlefield.

In previous centuries, salvation or doom was heralded by the sound of galloping
hooves on the battlefield. The modern battlefield boasts the more fearsome sound
of warjacks shaking the earth underfoot, but the meaning is unchanged. Captain
Jeremiah Kraye of the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service blends these old and new
fighting disciplines into a doctrine of rapid, devastating assault. Kraye prefers to
strike against an exposed flank or harass an enemys reinforcements, and he instills
his warjacks with unprecedented mobility and crushing momentum.
Jeremiah Kraye comes from a long line of Cygnaran officers. His father Sheridan
retired as a respected colonel, and history records Jeremiahs grandfather Nathan as
one of the finest generals to serve King Vinter III. Jeremiah continued this tradition
by graduating with the highest honors from the Strategic Academy and entering
the Cygnaran cavalry. His early career coincided with the Scharde Invasions, but
he did not join in the fighting. He served instead with Cygnars often-overlooked
border defenders.
As Cygnar allocated more and more forces to the Broken Coast, it had fewer
soldiers to guard the hundreds of miles of borderlands. The cavalry proved vital,
and Kraye demonstrated he had the mettle to deliver crushing blows to the enemy.
He learned how to make do with whatever supplies and resources the army could
provide and often relied on foraging to survive. He always found a way to achieve
victory against all odds.
In a move that did lasting damage to his career, Kraye resigned his commission
in 589 AR after his uncle was arrested on charges of treason and later executed by
Vinter Raelthorne IV. This was at the peak of the Inquisitions power, when they
could arrest and execute anyone who spoke out against the king. Not until after the
overthrow of the tyrant and the rise of King Leto did Kraye return to active duty.
His reinstatement came at the urging of Scout General Bolden Rebald in 595 AR, at
which time Kraye avenged his uncle by running many Vinter loyalists to ground.
He brought his extensive experience along Cygnars borderlands to the Cygnaran
Reconnaissance Service during the early days of that fledgling organization. With
Cygnars defenses once more stretched thin, Captain Kraye remained busy leading
forces from one battlefield to the next.
Kraye is an outspoken man of intelligence and education. His refined breeding
shows through despite his grimy, road-weary appearance. He enthusiastically
debates military history, tactics, and strategy but has no patience for politics
and claims no ambition to higher rank. He has a unique rapport with his trusted
and expertly trained warhorse Malagant, who responds with almost empathic
awareness to his riders will. Malagant heeds subtle shifts in weight and pressure
as instructions to rear up and shred enemies with strikes of his iron-shod hooves.
Kraye requires no accolades or praise for his service to the army and his king,
only the opportunity to lead his jacks to war and deliver swift retribution against
Cygnars enemies. He was one of the few warcasters available to help defend Fharin
at the end of the Second Cygnaran Civil War, fighting to forestall a Protectorate
army allied to Vinter that threatened to burn the city to the ground. He has adapted
to the crowning of Julius, persuaded that the youth is a very different man from his
father. Officers who have fought beside him claim Kraye can find the best fighting
ground anywhere along Cygnars borders, which he roams as a tireless and vigilant
guardian. He needs only his horse, his warjacks, and soldiers courageous enough
to plunge into peril when he sounds the charge.

One of the most famous warcasters in Cygnaran history,
Commander Adept Sebastian Nemo has served the nation
he loves well into his twilight years. Despite his age, the
commander adept remains a potent and welcome presence on
any battlefield. Long after he is gone the changes he has wrought
will serve as a lasting legacy within the Cygnaran Army.
Raised in a military household with soldiers stretching back
several generations, Nemo has endured more than his share of
loss and hardship. Among the worst of these misfortunes was
the loss of a brother serving under him, an event for which
he blamed himself. He immersed himself in his military
responsibilities after that, leaving time and energy for little
else. His wife took their daughter and left him upon realizing
there was no space for them in his life. She died just months
later of rip lung, and the guilt of not being there to care for
her haunts him still. His daughter was sent back to his care,
but he soon arranged for her to be raised by his family in
Shieldpoint province, and the two have been estranged since.
There is no question Nemos dedication to his nation and his
duty has come at a cost.
side of Leto the Younger during the Lions Coup. Since Letos
rise to the throne, Nemo has taken to the battlefield with a
renewed commitment and has shaped the talents of several
of Cygnars foremost warcasters.
In combat, Nemo relies primarily on his magical prowess. His
ability to control warjacks is legendary, as is the variety and power
of his arcane repertoire. His armor itself represents a previously
unthinkable innovation: Nemo crackles with electrical energy
that emits a faint nimbus of light. He was the first to harness
voltaic energy as a power source for Cygnars weapons, and he
has continued to experiment with its expression, incorporating
sometimes risky prototypes into his own gear.
This senior warcaster is misunderstood by most of his
contemporaries. He is viewed as harsh, arrogant, and
demanding, an eccentric visionary. In truth, Sebastian Nemo
has spent his life giving all to his country. If his standards
are high, it is because he drives himself hard and expects his
subordinates to keep pace. If he flaunts his power, it is because
he has no patience for those who give less than their best.

Nemo became embittered with the crown during Vinter the
Elders reign. Preferring to avoid the atrocities committed
by Vinters handpicked officers, Nemo refused promotion to
focus on weapon research and development. It was during
the Scharde Invasions that he earned his reputation as one
of the most brilliant commanders in the Cygnaran Army. A
few short years later, the greying warcaster fought on the

During peacetime, the promotion of a warcaster to the rank
of general most often serves as a prelude to retirement. The
honorific provides a commander a chance to quit the field
with honor and leave the next battles to the young. Sebastian
Nemo has defied this tradition. So long as he has the strength
to lift a weapon and his warjacks heed his call, Sebastian
Nemo will never quit the battlefield.
The general adepts mind remains at its peak. No one can
match Nemos deep and fundamental understanding of
warjacks and the voltaic technologies empowering the greatest
weapons of Cygnar. His schematics are decades ahead of
those created by his peers. Sebastian Nemos intellectual leaps
have created new power sources and provided unanticipated
innovations in warjack cortexes and weapons technology. The
most brilliant minds of other nations struggle for even a basic
understanding of Nemos designs; meanwhile, he moves on
to the next invention. Even with the increased time he spends
at war, Nemo finds time to develop new projects, such as
Cygnars military telegraph network.
Many of Nemos battlefield tactics evolved from the period
when he led a brigade of the Third Army against the Cryxian
menace during the reign of VinterIV. Nemo learned to wrestle
with an elusive enemy capable of striking anywhere, and
these lessons served him well when he aided Prince Leto in
overthrowing his tyrannical brother. Recent years have seen
Nemo on the northern front, and the battles against Khador
have prompted him to rethink his methods. Accustomed as
an inventor to tearing up old schematics and starting fresh,
Nemo has taken the same approach to his plans of war.
Such wars do not allow men like Sebastian Nemo long to
rest. Even after suffering injury at the Battle of the Temple
of Garrodh, he found the strength to hasten north just in
time for the now famous Relief of Northguard. Without the
warcasters jacks and his ability to push them past their
normal limits, the fortress would have fallen months sooner
and endured worse losses. When Northguard at last gave
way before the might of Supreme Kommandant Irusk, Nemo
fought to save the lives of countless defenders as he led one
of the most valiant rearguard actions of the current era.
Wherever aggressors threaten his nations fortresses and
military bases, Nemo sees innocent Cygnaran civilians in the
line of fire. He is prepared to utilize every stratagem and trick
from a lifetime of soldiering to make Cygnars enemies pay
dearly for every inch of his soil they tread upon. Sebastian
Nemo stands as an inspiration to his men and a legend to
every stormsmith and mechanik wearing the Cygnus.

When the present fades into history, Sebastian Nemo will
be remembered not only for his military record but also as
one of the greatest minds of Cygnar. He has advanced the
arcane science of mechanika through his willingness to put
his hypotheses and experimental devices to the test on the
battlefield, shattering preconceptions of what is and is not
possible. As his nations wars grew more desperate, King Leto
recognized the necessity of empowering this national hero to
do whatever was necessary to improve the Cygnaran Army,
resulting in Nemos elevation to the title of artificer general.
Nemos contributions to his craft cannot be overstated: all modern
weaponry that draws upon the storm chamber and galvanic
power derives from his pioneering work. The stormsmiths
might not even exist if not for his theories, and the same applies
to the Storm Knights empowered by his inventions.
Perhaps his crowning achievement will be the ideas that
have led to the modern colossal. Had Cygnars leadership
met Nemos visionary Stormwall project with the urgency
he demanded, the nation might have made decisive strikes
against its enemies before they could field similar machines.
In light of this missed opportunity, King Leto and his
War Council decided in 608 AR to empower Nemo to act
with greater latitudewith the hope that future crucial
developments might not be delayed by such laborious
bureaucracy. He was given considerable authority and
oversight over the entirety of Cygnars military industry.
He was also entitled to choose from among the nations
brightest minds to fill the specialized ranks of his army and
the workshops where his latest creations take form.
Nemo is deeply concerned with the next generation of
Cygnars warcasters. He has mentored and fought alongside
many of them over the past half-century. Unfortunately, he
has also outlived several of his former students and felt the
grief of seeing them fall in battle. His uncompromising values
and irascible nature have profoundly affected many of these
powerful individuals; in fact, it can be argued that Nemo has
directly molded the ideal of the modern Cygnaran warcaster.

This collapsible weapon was at the center of the warcasters
fighting style, allowing him to rend his foes with a flurry of
precisely targeted blades before disappearing in a flash of
arcane light, only to reappear within striking distance of his
next opponent.
An accomplished strategist and combatant, Sturgis inspired
many with his acts of valor, and those who served under his
command can attest to his strength of character. As a young
man, he began his military career during the Scharde Invasions
and played a significant role in the conflicts in and around
Llael. He developed a reputation for only giving orders that
he himself would be willing to carry out. The men and women
who fought at his side spoke often of his selflessness.
Though Commander Sturgis deeds will be remembered, he
disappeared from active duty during the chaotic battles in the
Thornwood Forest after Cygnars brief alliance with Khador
was shattered. Cygnaran authorities are silent on Sturgis
fate, but leaked reports suggest he gave his life during an
undercover operation, battling Khadoran forces in an effort
to buy time for the soldiers under his command to escape.
Such a heroic death would normally deserve an equally
heroic funeral, but his body was never recovered.
Captain Allison Jakes later disclosed that the commander was
brought back from the dead and fought against her within
the Thornwood. Her report was corroborated by subsequent
sightings of an undead warcaster resembling Sturgis alongside
helljacks and soldiers of the Nightmare Empire of Cryx. It is a
tragedy that this great Cygnaran champion has had his body
reanimated and his personality and memories warped to
serve the Dragonfather. Those who served with him prefer to
remember him as a hero who gave his life for others.

Sturgis also proved to be an enthusiastic and thoughtful

 WARJACKS
OF CYGNAR
Cygnars warjacks and modern colossals are the most refined
military machines in the Iron Kingdoms. Built to fill key
battlefield roles, these warjacks represent the pinnacle of
mechanikal engineering applied to warfare.
Evolution of the
Modern Warjack
Cygnar has long been a pioneer of warjack development.
The first factories and workshops for assembling the
great colossals for the Rebellion against the Orgoth were
constructed in Caspia on the grounds that would eventually
house the Cygnaran Armory. After the Rebellion, the machine
shops, forges, and smelting furnaces continued operating to
create the first colossals to bear the Cygnus, which would
shake the earth and battle with their Khadoran counterparts
during the Colossal War.
While conflicts with the Orgoth and Khador informed
the design of Cygnars colossals and their improvements,
the battles against the trollkin in the Thornwood and the
Gnarls initiated the next major change in design. In the First
Trollkin War, the kriels were routed and suffered substantial
casualties, but they quickly adapted their tactics. By the time
of the Second Trollkin War, the trollkin has learned to use the
complex terrain of their native territories to their advantage
and employed ambush tactics and rudimentary traps to
defeat the lumbering colossals. After these defeats the
Cygnarans adapted smaller steamjacksinitially created for
heavy laborinto the first true warjacks, agile and nimble
68
machines that could navigate the forest with relative ease.
Using warjacks with smaller yet more advanced cortexes
and sophisticated weaponry, Cygnar defeated the kriels once
again, and the colossals were decommissioned and replaced
by their tactically superior modern counterparts.
Since its earliest days, Cygnar has been deeply invested in its
technology. Indeed, mechanikal advancement has proven as
instrumental as the kingdoms vast wealth in withstanding
the myriad foes gnawing at its borders. Some of the greatest
minds in western Immoren call Cygnar home, and their
innovations range from high-tech weaponry to experimental
new power sources that provide an alternative to coal.
Through their work the Cygnaran military is always evolving
and changing, seeking to improve both the weapons it
employs and the processes by which they are built, supplied,
and transported across the kingdom.
Warjack advancement and evolution is a slow process of
iterative design. Since the move from the original, oversized
colossals to the more sophisticated and adaptable warjacks,
Cygnar has focused on incremental improvements to proven
designs. Over generations of technological development, a
warjack chassis receives improvements to key systems, such
as more advanced optical sensors, improved cortexes and
fine motor control relays, ever more compact and powerful
furnaces, and chassis designs that allow for greater mobility.
These advances can also lead to new weapon suites that
allow Cygnaran engineers and mechaniks to outfit warjacks
to fill critical battlefield roles or to explore new design
philosophies altogether. Entirely new ideas are rare; rather,
Cygnaran engineers build upon the centuries of increasing
refinement achieved by their predecessors.
Perhaps the most significant warjack innovation in Cygnar
was the arcantrik relay, the precursor to the modern arc node.
These devices expanded a warcasters influence over the
battleground by extending the range of their spells through
the warjacks in their battlegroups. Arc nodes are linked
by conduits to a warjacks cortex, allowing the controller
to channel arcane energy through the machine and to take
advantage of the warjacks optical systems for targeting.
The original arcantrik relays had a number of design flaws,
including the risk of feedback that could damage the
warcaster and destroy the connected warjack cortex, but
these issues were eventually resolved through incremental
refinements. The manufacture of arc nodes is still time-
consuming and expensive, however, and they are reserved
for warjack models with a proven track record of synergizing
well with the device. The advent of arc nodes immediately
opened up new tactics and strategies for warcasters, allowing
them to wield offensive spells without exposing themselves
to harm.
Most early warjack armaments were based on the simple
but effective weapons of the Cygnaran infantry: swords and
hammers, spears and shields. Mechanikal improvements to
these weapons allowed for more effective arms, such as the
devastating impact produced by the Ironclads quake hammer
or the cortex-rending feedback created by the Lancers shock
shield. Ranged armaments required the development of
automated reloading mechanisms and improvements to the
overall stability of a warjack. Once affixed to reliable chassis,
these weapons provided the Cygnaran army with potent
mobile artillery and the ability to disable heavy targets at a
great distance.
A significant breakthrough in warjack armament came
from the development of warjack-scale storm chambers.
The storm chamber was originally developed as a self-
sustaining source of voltaic energy to power infantry melee
weapons such as storm glaives. Small storm chambers
proved extremely effective in powering the weapons arming
Cygnars various Storm Knights, but making chambers
large enough for use on warjacks proved a challenge. While
greater power could be harnessed by increasing the size of a
storm chamber, it also created wild energy surges that could
lead to a dangerous and destructive explosion. Over time
this issue was partially solved, resulting in the creation of the
Stormclad. Built in 597AR by direct order of King Leto and
WARJACKS OF CYGNAR
69
 designed to serve alongside his loyal Stormblades in battle,
this heavy warjack was outfitted with a massive generator
blade not unlike the weapons of the Stormblades themselves.
The warjacks success in the field prompted the outfitting of
other Cygnaran warjacks with voltaic weaponry, a trend that
has steadily increased.
Although the boilers of modern warjacks are more efficient
than those of their predecessors, they nonetheless require
considerable resources to run battle-ready. Conventional
warjacks consume both coal and water at prodigious rates,
requiring a smooth chain of supply to the front lines to keep
them functioning. For this reason Artificer General Nemo,
supported by the Cygnaran Armory, has worked to develop
stable storm chambers large enough to power the warjacks in
the hope of one day replacing the steam engine. These efforts
have proven to be very difficult, but the challenges are not
insurmountable. Warjacks that run solely on voltaic energy
have been produced, but these machines are presently one-
off implementations whose fabrication techniques cannot
yet be widely applied. At present the most widespread and
successful use of this energy source is to power weaponry,
not the warjack itself.
Cygnar can point to many examples of cutting-edge
technologies that give it a battlefield advantage over rival
nations, from the Centurions modified shield that can stop
charging warjacks in their tracks to the Minutemans ability
to propel itself into the air by venting its heartfire through
a series of compression chambers feeding into an arcane
turbine to the Avengers seismic cannon that can create
localized earthquakes. While Cygnars advanced technology
has helped it attain numerous victories in the face of
WARJACKS OF CYGNAR
70
staggering odds, these innovations have also kindled similar
developments in the armies of its enemies. Cygnars soldiers
have become accustomed to the idea that the advanced
technologies they employ might eventually be used against
them. Arc nodes, for example, are found in the arsenals of
several of Cygnars enemies. Cygnars cortex innovations
and modern colossal fabrication techniques have similarly
benefited other nations as the schematics eventually find
their way into the hands of spies. The nations mechaniks
know they can never stop innovating.
Deployment
To avoid forcing warjacks to cross large distances under their
own power, they are hauled to their deployment locations
on trains, boats, or horse-drawn wagons whenever possible.
This requires logistical coordination but consumes far fewer
resources and inflicts less wear on the warjacks, allowing
them to be delivered fully fueled and ready for battle.
The military relies heavily on Cygnars extensive railway
system to transport its warjacks. Trains in Cygnar are owned
and operated by two competing companies: Steelwater Rail
and Caspian Rail. These commercial interests often operate
under contract with the Cygnaran government to relocate
troops and supplies. Competition between these companies
means quick and efficient travel, and the use of the expansive
rail lines allows both troops and warjacks to be redeployed
swiftly from one location to another. Access to this mode of
transportation greatly amplifies the ability of the military to
react to new threats and allows the Cygnaran Army to cover
huge swaths of territory.
Keeping warjacks ready for battle in sufficient quantities
is vital to the Cygnaran Armys success. Meeting this goal
requires the generals to anticipate their needs for these
machines and reallocate them regularly. Whenever possible,
older warjacks that have suffered damage in battle are
repaired to fighting trim. So long as its cortex is intact and
it receives the proper repairs and maintenance, a warjack
can remain combat-ready for many decades of active duty.
Cygnar only decommissions warjack chassis when they
have been rendered obsolete by newer designs. The quality
of Cygnars designs is demonstrated by the fact that even
its outmoded chassis often find a second life on the black
market or by being retooled for mercenary use.

Each of the major forts in Cygnar is kept well supplied with

warjacks against the inevitability of war. Support staff and
command officers ensure that Cygnars warcasters need not
concern themselves with details of supply so they can instead
focus on the tactical requirements of the battle at hand.

Development of
Modern Colossals
Although the hulking colossals of old were retired due to
their inherent design flaws and the expense of keeping
them fueled and battle-ready, modern incarnations of these
behemoths now stride the battlefield once more. Taking
advantage of recent advances in metallurgy, cortex design,
and engineering, these machines have little in common with
their predecessors. CYGNARAN WARJACK
The original colossals were powerful but simplistic machines, SERVICE MARKERS
most useful for shattering fortress walls or smashing slow- Warjacks that have served in notable battles are often
moving targets with their massive fists. Cygnars modern decorated with service markers to denote their length and
colossals demonstrate considerably improved maneuverability regions of service. The warjacks themselves do not notice such
and engine efficiency and serve as weapons platforms for an distinctions, but the honors inspire confidence in the soldiers
imposing array of firepower. The advanced cortexes employed fighting alongside them.
in these machines give them the ability to control multiple
weapons and track multiple targets simultaneously. Cygnaran SCHARDE INVASIONS

colossals like the Stormwall and Hurricane use a combination
of galvanic storm chambers and traditional steam engines
the former to power the machines many weapons systems
and the latter to provide mobility.
Although Cygnars modern colossals represent a vast
investment of time and resources, their capabilities make them
strategically significant assets. Able to withstand damage
that would devastate smaller warjacks and outfitted with
armaments equally useful in assault, siegecraft, and defense,
colossals serve as the linchpins of large military operations.
They are most effective when supported by smaller warjacks
and infantry, allowing them to reach their intended targets
intact and deliver overwhelming assaults. As Cygnar moves
forward to new theaters of war, its colossals are often the
vanguard of any successful assault.
This service marker was affixed to the few
warjacks that served in the Scharde Invasions
from 584588AR and survived. Primarily light
warjacks but including several Defenders,
these decorated jacks are considered to
bring particularly good luck to those who
can maintain them, and some claim they are
especially effective against Cryxian forces.
DEFENSE OF LLAEL
Warjacks that participated in the defense
of Llaels capital were awarded this service
marker. Though the battle was ultimately a
defeat, many see these icons as a symbol
of what was lost in the name of Khadoran
aggression.

The warjacks cortex and chassis had suffered significant damage in the battle. At
first glance the cortex appeared unsalvageable, and it was placed in storage within
the Cygnaran Armory in Caspia amid piles of other damaged equipment awaiting
disassembly and reuse. A spark still lingered deep within this battered cortex,
however, and four years later, while touring the armory following her return to
Caspia after escaping from a Protectorate temple prison, Major Maddox sensed it.
Disregarding the protests of the officers escorting her, Maddox followed the
call of the cortex until she arrived at the facility in which her old Centurion was
being stored. At her touch, the inert cortex leapt to life once more, heeding her
call without hesitation. Maddox requested that a new custom chassis be built, and
work began without delay on the warjack that would be called Brickhouse.
Artificer General Nemo asked Master Mechanik Lassiter Polk of the Cygnaran
Armory to have his best mechaniks build a machine that would be worthy of
the warcaster who now stood as a powerful symbol for Cygnars military might
and perseverance. Equipped with an experimental magno fist that can stop its
opponents in their tracks, Brickhouse stands as an immovable obstacle between
Maddox and those who would do her harm. Significant time and resources
were invested in the construction of the chassis and the integration of advanced
technologies into Brickhouses systems, and the remade warjack was delivered to
Major Maddox only after her participation in the recent liberation of Riversmet.
Since being reunited with its master, Brickhouse has proven fiercely protective of
Maddox, and the pair are a force to be reckoned with on any battlefield.

FRATERNAL ORDER OF WIZARDRY
Thorns most recent upgrades included an experimental reaction drive that utilizes
a high-end accumulator and reflexive trigger relay to translate overflow arcane
energy into motive power. So long as the warjack regularly receives channeled
spell energy, it can perform short bursts of exceptional speed. Thorns reaction
drive allows it to deliver Haleys magic exactly where she needs it the most and
then reposition itself behind cover to avoid incoming firemaking it almost
impossible to pin the warjack down in combat.
To bolster its ability to evade opposing jacks, Haley had Thorn outfitted with
a disruption spear. Since this modification, Thorn behaves with almost reckless
aggression in battle, as if it enjoys taunting the enemy into pursuit while it rushes
forward. Haleys soldiers believe the warjacks willingness to go for the throat
comes directly from the warcaster herself.
One of Thorns most impressive capabilities is not derived from mechanikal
upgrades. Haley has fought so closely with the warjack that her control over it is
unparalleled. Her senses are so finely attuned to Thorns cortex that even the most
intense close combat does not impede her ability to channel spells through its arc
node. More than one enemy has closed with the jack expecting to neutralize its
cortex only to be immediately subjected to Haleys arcane will.
Mechaniks at the Cygnaran Armory had hoped to use Thorn as a prototype for
the next generation of arc node technology, but thus far they have found their
efforts frustrated. Warjacks with less refined cortexes cannot operate the reaction
drive, and the overflowing arcane power often causes delicate arc nodes to suffer
catastrophic failure. Every attempt to get a closer look at Thorn itself has been
rebuffed. Petitions to both the warmaster general and the artificer general for
permission to dismantle and study the warjack have been refused. The importance
of Major Haleys presence on the front lines and her reliance on this machine has
kept it out of their hands, and the warcaster has made no secret of how she feels
about letting curious gearheads poke around inside her most trusted warjack.

The looming tempest that is the Stormwall sprang from the
genius of Commander Sebastian Nemo. During the battle
at the Temple Garrodh, the renowned inventor discovered
a functioning cerebral matrix within the shattered hull of a
colossal forgotten since the Rebellion. Mechanikal innovation
in warjack fabrication had greatly advanced since that time,
and Nemo saw the potential of a modern colossal.
While he pushed for sufficient funding from the reluctant
Royal Assembly, Nemo labored over detailed schematics.
Captain Dominic Darius reviewed the plans and offered
suggestions vital to the final shape of the machine. In
particular, Darius saw the benefit of reliable ammunition-fed
weapons systems and convinced Nemo to supplement the
storm chambers with coal-based steam power. Collaboration
between Nemo and the Fraternal Order of Wizardry resulted
in the arcanum supernum cortex, a large but powerful design
capable of controlling multiple weapon systems.
The Royal Assemblys reluctance to provide funding
evaporated upon learning that the Khadorans had obtained
key schematics and worked to build their own colossals.
Cygnaran Armory mechaniks brilliantly executed the synergy
of Nemos and Darius designs. The Stormwalls largest
moving parts are driven by the most efficient and powerful
central steam engine Cygnar has ever produced, while the
electrical weapon systems draw power from sizable galvanic
chambers. The combination of the two power sources allows
the Stormwall to sustain itself between refueling longer
than any Cygnaran heavy warjack save experimental storm-
powered one-offs, like the Thunderhead and Dynamo.
Within its central chassis the Stormwall carries several
experimental lightning pods launched using powerful
explosive charges. The pods open on impact to form conduits
for destructive energies produced by the Stormwalls voltaic
coils. Even after a pod has discharged its initial fury, it serves
as an ongoing strategic asset for nearby stormcallers, who
use it to triangulate subsequent lightning strikes. Firing rates
of the Stormwalls more traditional storm cannons and main
guns require an enormous amount of ammunition. In action,
the Stormwall unleashes torrents of infantry-shredding
bullets and riddles warjacks with cannon shells, all before
closing with electrified fists.

 TROOPS
OF CYGNAR
Cygnar relies heavily on its infantry to defend its borders
against a wide array of foes, trusting in the patriotic courage
of those who volunteer for this service. Though often
outnumbered, the disciplined, highly trained, and well-
equipped Cygnarans have acquitted themselves admirably
time and time again in battles both within Cygnar and abroad.
Recruitment &
Training
Bordered by several hostile kingdoms, Cygnar maintains
a strong contingent of able-bodied soldiers at all times. To
ensure the nation has an adequate number of volunteers,
Cygnar provides a decent wage for soldiers of all ranks.
Recruitment bills encouraging patriotic young citizens to
enlist are a common sight in major cities, and recruitment
drives are frequent. While Cygnar relies primarily on
volunteers, King Julius has implemented several penal
battalions, mustered from the ranks of soldiers whose crimes
did not warrant a full pardon at the end of the civil war.
Those demonstrating exceptional endurance and mental
fortitude are selected for the intensive and grueling trencher
training, while others enter the army as long gunners or field
mechaniks or possibly in other support roles. In an effort to
increase numbers in the trencher corps, the army recently
lowered the entrance requirements, relying instead on the
training regimen to bolster the recruits physical endurance
and strength. The results have been promising, affording a
wider variety of individuals the chance to become front-line

infantry. Any who rise to the top are given the option to join
one of the elite branches of the military, such as the Storm
Knights. Both the Storm Knights and Royal Sword Knights
have their own standards but tend to give preference to
relatives of existing knights and those of noble birth.
Recruits with unusual aptitudes, such as arcane mechaniks
or frontiersmen, may be recommended for other specialized
branches such as the rangers of the Cygnaran Reconnaissance
Service or the stormsmiths. Gifted recruits are almost always
shunted over to a branch of the army that can capitalize on
their arcane talents, including the formidable Militant Order
of the Arcane Tempest.
Rank Structure
The army includes both enlisted soldiers and commissioned
officers. Cygnarans who complete courses at the Strategic
Academy enter the military as junior officers. Many come
from affluent families, with preference given to children of
former officers or the nobility. In some cases these individuals
have trained for these roles since early childhood and thus
have an advantage over those who were not born to privilege.
The Cygnaran Army has increasingly sought to expand
its officer pool by offering commissions to those who have
proven themselves in battle. In times of war, this process
can be accelerated as officers are killed in action. Battle-
tested sergeants may be promoted to lieutenant and quickly
on to captain, though some prefer to remain sergeants and
instead advance in grade only. As a probationary measure,
brevet ranks earned in combat become permanent only after
the officers aptitude is demonstrated. Enlisted personnel
promoted to officers are technically required to attend the
Strategic Academy, although this duty is often postponed.
Few trencher officers who have risen through enlisted ranks
have ever attended courses at Point Bourne or Caspia.
During training, an enlisted soldier is a recruit; at the end of
training, a recruit becomes a private. After proving competence,
a private may earn promotion to corporal, the first grade of
non-commissioned officer. Corporals are entrusted by their
sergeants to supervise small fire teams. Above corporals are
sergeants, vital non-commissioned officers who lead squads
formed from larger units comprised of multiple fire teams.
This rank has a number of grades, varying by service, and is
as high as most soldiers will ever climb. Cygnaran sergeants
must serve at least two terms of enlistment, each lasting five
years. A soldier may be promoted to sergeant before his first
term ends, but acceptance of the rank requires reenlistment
for a second term, and most become career soldiers. Some
specialist branches have their own NCO ranks, such as the
crew chiefs who lead groups of field mechaniks.
In the course of service, it is expected that soldiers will
develop an esprit de corps and take pride in their companys
accomplishments. Many soldiers remain in the same company
throughout their career. There is no guarantee a soldier will
have that choice, however, as some troops are rotated as
needed to fill specialized roles elsewhere, reinforce other
companies, or, in the case of veterans, lend their experience
to companies with an imbalance of new recruits.
CYGNAR MILITARY RANKS
For most officers, the gold Cygnus is displayed on the left
shoulder, with rank insignia on the right. Many warcasters and
certain branches such as the CRS are afforded liberties with
the dress code. Rank insignia are sometimes placed on other
locations of a uniform, such as the helmet or forearm.
SERGEANT

Officers in training are called cadets and graduate as COMMANDER

lieutenants. Promotion above the rank of lieutenant is based LIEUTENANT
on both performance and the availability of positions. The
role of an officer of a given rank varies from one branch of
the army to the next. In larger infantry companies such as the
trenchers and long gunners, lieutenants lead entire platoons.
In more specialized groups such as gun mages, higher- GENERAL
ranking officers may lead the same number of soldiers as
lower-ranking officers but will often be selected to command CAPTAIN
veteran subordinates on high-priority missions.

Among the general infantry, captains lead companies, majors

lead battalions, colonels lead regiments, commanders lead
brigades, and generals lead army divisions. Lord generals
LORD GENERAL
command Cygnars three largest armies; the fourth and smallest
army is traditionally commanded by a general. Providing a MAJOR
single voice of authority above these officers is the warmaster
general, who enacts the kings will across the entire army.

Deployment
Once they complete their training, soldiers are placed within
COLONEL WARMASTER GENERAL
companies attached to one of Cygnars four armies or assigned (GENERAL OF THE CROWN)
to the Storm Division in the case of some special forces recruits.
While platoons and many companies are composed entirely of
a single service branch, mixed companies are also common.
Heavy infantry companies usually include only knights,
while regular infantry companies might include trenchers,
long gunners, and rangers. Each company is organized with
a specific battlefield role in mind, and commanding officers
scrutinize the composition of their companies to ensure they
are suitable to their missions and assignments.

but the two men have many differences. Nemo is a warcaster, inventor, and
theoretician fascinated by ideas for the future, while Strangewayes is a pragmatic
nuts-and-bolts man focused on keeping warjacks running in the here and now.
Strangewayes has openly called both the Thunderhead and Dynamo overly
complicated and impractical, and that has strained the mens relationship.

Even with his voltaic gauntlet, Strangewayes advocates steam power and has a
keen admiration for the older jack chassis, particularly those of the Ironclad and
the Defender. This has added to his reputation as a curmudgeon, but he nonetheless
remains the man every Cygnaran warcaster wants patching his machines back
together after a major battle.

 PAINTING
YOUR ARMY
As a hobby miniatures game deeply rooted in lore and
character, WARMACHINE offers hundreds of distinctive and
highly detailed models designed for maximum modeling
and painting enjoyment. Each model is a canvas on which
to unleash your own creativity and imagination. You can
choose to try your hand at the tried-and-true P3 Studio
scheme, dive deeper into the Iron Kingdoms setting with an
alternate paint scheme drawn from the lore and background
of your Faction, or throw convention to the wind and create
a completely original look for your models. Whatever your
choice, few things are as rewarding as bringing your army to
life with your brush and some paints.
When painting an army, as in life, the fun truly lies in the
journey more than in the destination. And like every journey,
the road to a fully painted force begins with a crucial first
stepin this case, deciding how you want your army to look!
The following pages contain color guides and quick tips
designed to provide inspiration for your Cygnar painting
adventure. We begin with a look at models painted in the
traditional studio scheme for the Cygnaran Army. This scheme
is shown throughout the model gallery on pages 132141.
Whether or not you decide to emulate the studio scheme, it is
a great foundation to draw from with its eye-catching blue and
gold contrast, alongside cool whites and tans.
Next we present some alternative approaches to painting
your Cygnar models. The Cygnaran Army is composed of
several notable companies and divisions, many of which
march to war in their own particular colors drawn from the
standard Cygnaran Army palette. Such battledresses include
the bright yellow and tans of the 32nd Storm Watch, the cool
greys of Fort Falk, and the dusty whites of the Northguard
Gravediggers. By combining ideas from the setting, the
studio scheme, and the real world, you can easily create a
unique look for your army that still feels right at home in the
Iron Kingdoms.
Finally, for those who really want to flex their creative
muscles, we present a radically different paint scheme drawn
straight from the imagination of the painter who created it,
as well as some great examples of Cygnar models painted
by the WARMACHINE and HORDES community to inspire
your own unique creations. Choosing a more original or
whimsical approach can result in a truly eye-catching army,
but such schemes rely on careful planning and a willingness
to experiment with multiple combinations of colors until
everything has been dialed in just right to create a balanced
yet visually striking effect. When it comes to your armys
special look, inspiration can spring from anywhere.
Regardless of which direction you decide to take in painting
your own Cygnar force, we hope this guide provides you
with the spark needed to set your imagination on fire as you
sit down with brush in hand to create an army as individual
as you!

The Cygnar color scheme grabs your attention and easily
holds it through its elegant use of contrast. Large areas of
rich, cool blue contrast with regions of warm gold, causing
the eye to glide over the model. On some models the rich
Cygnar blue is replaced with denim and the gold takes
on the warm tones of tan and leather, but the contrast
between cool and warm colors is always maintained,
since it really defines the Cygnar paint scheme.

Kellers Lions are one of the most highly decorated
companies currently deployed to the defense of Eastwall
under Commander Timeck Keller. The company first
earned its notoriety during the Scharde Invasions,
but it wasnt until the Lions Coup under command of
then Captain Keller that the company earned its name.
In honor of the moniker, the company replaced its
traditional Cygnaran blues with a scheme inspired by its
namesake animal. The company now marches to battle in
rich golden yellows and browns, a perfect homage to the

Painters Inspiration
By Brendan Roy

When I first started playing Cygnar, I wanted to paint some

sort of bone on the armor plates. I wasnt sold on that being
the primary color, however, so I needed a complementary
color. As I thought about it, the idea of having a very in-
your-face color scheme kept running through my head.
I eventually settled on a bright, bubblegum pink. In case
you werent aware of this fact, bubblegum pink isnt a
good complement to bone. Its a great one!

With my color scheme chosen, I still had a hurdle before

me. My paint collection lacked the pink that I wanted for
this scheme. I knew Murderous Magenta and Carnal Pink
had all the right tones I was looking for, so I got to mixing.
With a simple 1:1 ratio of each, I had the color I wanted
and dived into painting.

PAINTING TIPS
Many models in the Cygnar range have a quilted pad to protect
them from electricity. When painting the quilt, communicate the
flow of the cloth by using a mix of Battlefield Brown and Brown
Ink as a second shade to define the texture by drawing lines
along the underside of the pattern.
