Cities of Death is a Warhammer 40,000 expansion. It adds rules for playing in an urban environment for Warhammer 40,000 4th Edition. It deals primarily with combat in cover, combat between different heights of terrain, and objectives that are catered to an urban setting.

Background

Unlike the previous attempt to add urban fighting rules (Codex: Cityfight), these rules are designed as an add-on to the standard Warhammer 40,000 rules (Cityfight was essentially a separate game). These rules were first tried in the Chapter Approved 2003 as part of the larger combat rule change and then later adapted to specialise in city-based environments. It was essential in different aspects for the Medusa V campaign. It is eighty pages long.
