With the dust cloud that blocks line of sight, does it last until the end of the game, or until the player who destroyed it's next turn? Apart from that, good job.

Clarified the dust cloud issue in the article. Thanks for reading.

Love the article, I was thinking about doing something like it myself in the future.

Would you mind if I use the natural wiki formatting to clean up the article (better divide it into sections with a table of contents)?


Also, GW is pushing for players to use their supplements (and codices) 'as written' even after their core rules have changed.

Since Cities of Death is a supplement to the basic rules, many of the older style rules (like having to use a strategem for Deep Striking or infiltrating or what counts as a scoring unit) should work fine as stand-alone rules for Cities of Death.


With that said, I do personally prefer making changes to the supplement to make it feel more like 5th edition. However I believe you may want to make a change to the formatting of the article to present it in a way that highlights the differences between the changes that *have* to be made (because they make absolutely no sense with the current rules, like references to "size 3 area terrain" or "target priority rolls") and those changes which you feel *should* be made to make the game play more like standard 5th edition games.


Again, with your permission, I would be happy to work with you to implement these slight changes to your article (which I think would make it appeal to a more universal audience). Anything you don't like that I change can easily be removed.

That would be great Yak, thanks. Wiki away.

I finally got around to updating the article.

I added pics, better formatting and added 'RAW' comments.

Hopefully everyone likes the new look of the article and I think its a great tool for anyone who likes Cities of Death and wants to play those games in 5th edition.

holy moly thats good
