The Core Philosophy: "If the enemy wishes to hit my Avatar, they must first fill out the proper paperwork, submit to a physical security check, and march through three miles of brambles, sinkholes, and angry trolls."
On Ranged Combat: "Archers are merely warriors who lack the intestinal fortitude to look an Ironclad in the eyes before being crushed."
The Victory Condition: "We do not 'win' games of Sorcery. We simply construct a wall, advance the wall, and reduce the opponent's legal play space to zero."
No Witchery, No Warp Hazards--just pure Imperial logistics, artillery, and cold steel. For the Emperor!
