So I was wondering is there any army that uses seige engines of any type?
I was told by the wife to pick out 800$ of models I want for christmas. I am lossing a lot of intrest in
GW fantasy line but I like the company. I am feeling a lack of seige war fair like the old empire or tomb kings. Is there anyone other then skaven still shooting? Or are they all just skirmishes armies?
Siege's definitely happen and many cities have substantial defences both mundane - walls, cannons, etc and magical - wards etc. Often covered in the fluff novels and even the game text - there was a whole battletome on Chaos fortresses.
Factions deal with them in different ways:
Many have powerful and often flying monsters - so Greater Daemons, Dragons (living and undead), Terrorgehiests, Gargants etc can be very effective against fortresses.
There are large amounts of mundane, aetherpunk firepower to Order - Dwarves - both disposed and Overlords (the ones with flying ships packed with guns and gun toting dwarves) - the Overlords Ships are very handy in attacking AND defending fortress / cities. Daemon Cannons and Warptech firepower for Chaos. Ogor cannons and Goblin war machines.
so yep lots
