The nation of Kislev is ruled over bythe Tzars and Tzarinas. Currentlythe Tzarina Katarin rules, known

also as the Ice Queen. Her father wasTzar Boris Bokha, a fierce warrior anddevout follower of the Bear God andknown by many as Boris Ursus or RadiiBokha (Red-Bokha).

The most famed military units of Kislevare the Winged Lancer cavalry, formedfrom the sons of the old Gospodarnobility. Amongst them are the GryphonLegion, an elite regiment consisting ofthe wealthiest knights, and often foundfighting in the Empire. These aresupported by archers and axemen onfoot, and mounted horse archers fromthe nomad tribes.

KISLEV BOYARMid-ranking officers from the Kislevite army are called Boyars. Asrepresentatives of the Tzarina, theirpresence can bolster the discipline ofKislevite troops around them, and theyact as liaison to friendly generals whenKislev and her allies fight together.

SPECIAL RULESStubborn: Boyars are resolute officers,forged over long years of hardship andwar. A Boyar is stubborn as is any unitthe Boyar leads (see Warhammer, p. 85).

KOSSARS The Kossars were an Ungol tribe whoworked as mercenaries against the otherUngols at the time of the Gospodarinvasion. They had adopted a veryunique style of fighting with bow andaxe, which they then went on to teachthe Gospodar warriors. Nowadays,Kossar regiments are a combined force

of Ungol and Gospodar soldiers, trainedand kept by the Tzarina as a standingKislevite force. They are well drilled,able to attack at range with their bows,and meet the enemy at close quarterswith their great axes.

SPECIAL RULESSteady in the Ranks: Kossars havefought for centuries with theirdistinctive combination of axe and bow.Their entire purpose is to wear theenemy down and then receive thecharge with their heavy axes. They aretrained to swiftly change weaponswithout undue haste. Kossars may stand& shoot as a charge reaction even if theenemy are within half their normalcharge distance. In addition, if theenemy are outside half of their normalcharge distance, the Kossars do notsuffer the normal -1 penalty on their ToHit rolls (see Warhammer, page 61).

WINGED LANCERSThe mainstay of the Kislev cavalry arethe Winged Lancers, who can trace theirlineage back to the original Gospodarknights who rode from the east. Theyare so named for the large featheredwings they wear on their backs, whichemit a shrill screaming noise when theycharge.

SPECIAL RULESGlorious Charge: Winged Lancers at thegallop are an awesome sight, their brightarmour shining, their colourful uniformsblazing, accompanied by the fearsomeshrieking emitted by their back banners.Any unit charged by a unit of WingedLancers with a Unit Strength of 5 ormore must take a Panic test, as if it hadbeen charged in the flank whilst

engaged to the front. (see Warhammer,page 80).

GRYPHON LEGIONThe most famed regiment of WingedLancers are the Gryphon Legion. Bornto the highest ranking nobles, theseknights travel far and wide and operateas mercenaries when not called to battleby the Tzarina herself. The regiment wasfounded in 286 (IC1810) as thebodyguard of Tzar Gospodar IV. Theybecame semi-independent after anexpedition into the Worlds EdgeMountains in 293 (IC1817) thatencountered a great many beasts ofChaos. Their commander at the time,Vladic Dostov, slew a Griffon single-handedly and kept its body as a prize.From then on, they took the nameGryphon Legion and have always wornwings made from Griffon feathers upontheir backs.

The Gryphon Legion spends most of itstime fighting for wealthier nobles in theEmpire, but is sworn to respond to thecall if the Tzar or Tzarina commands.This is unusual, however, as mostthreats can be dealt with by the regularWinged Lancers and Horse Archers.

SPECIAL RULESGlorious Charge: The Gryphon Legionfollow the same rules for GloriousCharge as the Winged Lancers.

Mercenaries: If an Empire army does nottake a Kislev allies contingent, it mayinstead take a single unit of the GryphonLegion as a Rare unit. In this case, theunit is not counted as an allies unit andis treated as part of the army just likeany Empire unit.

KISLEV BESTIARY

Kossars led by a Boyar.

UNGOL HORSE ARCHERSThese mounted warriors are auxiliariesdrafted in from the savage northerntribes of Kislev. They are fierce warriors,but lack the discipline of the regulararmy. Trained to loose arrows from thesaddle from an early age, they are the

best Human fast cavalry in the OldWorld. They delight in running ringsaround their opponents, pepperingthem with arrows and dodging awaybefore the enemy can retaliate. Theywear little or no armour and carryswords, yet make up in numbers whatthey lack in terms of equipment.

SPECIAL RULESFast Cavalry: Ungols are some of themost adept horsemen in the Old World,and follow the rules for Fast Cavalry (seeWarhammer, page 117).

Though you may use an AlliesContingent list to field a full army ofseveral thousand points, the list is by itsnature limited in comparison to a fullarmy list. The Allies Contingent list isdesigned to be used in concert with amain army.

To use an Allies Contingent, choose yourmain army as normal. In addition, youmay spend some of your points on unitsfrom the Allies Contingent list. Thenumber of allied characters and unitsyou may include is dependant on thesize of the whole army, as detailed onthe following chart. Note that this is thesize of the whole force, not simply thepoints spent on the main army. Forexample, if you spent 2,000 points onyour main army and 1,000 points on anAllies Contingent, this is treated as a3,000 points army.

As with a main army, there is a minimumnumber of Core units your AlliesContingent must contain. In addition, itmust also include at least one characterto be the Contingent Commander. Thismust be the character with the highestLeadership, just like the Army General.At least half of the total points of thewhole force must be spent on mainarmy characters and units. For instance,in a 3,000 points force, at least 1,500points must be spent on the main army.

The types of armies that may include anAllies Contingent depends upon theContingent itself. These are divided intotwo types: friendly and unfriendly. Iftaken with a friendly main army, then nospecial rules apply. If taken with anunfriendly army, the allies and the mainarmy are uneasy with each other’spresence. Though they may have acommon cause, neither side is too

happy about it! Overall, it’s better foreveryone concerned that they don’t gettoo close to each other. This means thatany main army units within 6" of anAllies unit suffers a -1 modifier to its Ld,after all other modifiers have beenapplied. The same is true for Allies unitswithin 6" of main army units.

ALLIES CONTINGENTSPECIAL RULESThe following special rules apply to theAllies Contingent.

• Allies Contingent units may only bejoined by Allies Contingent characters.Allies Contingent characters may onlyjoin Allies Contingent units.

• Allies Contingent units do not benefitfrom the main army’s General’sLeadership even if within 12". Theyalso do not gain Break test re-rollsfrom the main army’s Battle Banner.

• Allies units may use the ContingentCommander’s Leadership if within 12",and may re-roll a failed Break test ifwithin 12" of a Contingent Standard.

• For all other purposes (Panic tests,combat results, etc) Allies units andcharacters are considered part of thesame side as the main army.
