Cities of Sigmar collectors need a fair sealed floor, clean title matching, and a short path from first box to a playable shelf. This guide is buying advice — live prices and kits live on the Cities of Sigmar army hub.
Freeguild steel holding the free cities. Cities of Sigmar field Freeguild, Ironweld, and allied city forces. Castelite formations and Fusil-Platoons define the current sealed market.
Where to start buying
Start with Spearhead: Cities of Sigmar. Open the box page, compare sealed all-in prices to complete used comps for the same edition, then set a watch under the middle of the sealed band. The Cities of Sigmar start path walks the same decision in order.
Cross-check the Cities of Sigmar army hub for every kit that currently ships to you — Spearhead floors move, and a “cheap” listing is only cheap if it matches the same contents.
What to buy after the Spearhead
Spearhead: Cities of Sigmar or Fusil-Platoon first. Add Freeguild infantry second. Avoid Old World Empire kits in Cities searches.
Useful follow-on pages on SprueSentry: Cities of Sigmar Broken Realms: Xintil War Magi, Cities of Sigmar Alchemite Warforger, Cities of Sigmar: Amethyst Knellmage, Cities of Sigmar: Aqshian Pyrocaster.
Common listing traps
- +Old Empire or Old World kits listed as Cities of Sigmar.
- +Partial Fusil-Platoon sprues as full Spearhead.
- +Wrong-city character kits in shared Freeguild searches.
When photos look thin, read how to spot incomplete used kits and sealed vs opened vs painted before you pay.
How to read the price
Fair value is the recent sealed and complete-used cluster for that exact box — not MSRP. What is a Spearhead worth? explains how we read floors. Prefer all-in landed cost (shipping, duties, tax) over sticker price.
