PUNJUB:
THIS AREA IS REFERRED TO AS THE CRADLE OF THE
INDUS CIVILISATION. IT IS THE WESTERN MOST PROVINCE AND CONTAINS THE
OLDEST CITY IN THE EMPIRE, MAHENJO DORO.
THE TWO RIVERS THE INDUS AND THE CHANDRA ARE AT
THE CENTRE OF A HUGE VALLEY, WHICH IS THE BREADBASKET OF THE
PROVINCE.
SITUATED ON AN ISLAND IN THE CENTRE OF THE LARGER
OF THE TWO, THE INDUS IS MAHENJO DORO, THE FIRST CAPITAL OF THE
EMPIRE AND THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE LEGENDRY ASHOKA.
IN THE NORTH OF THIS REGION, ASHOKA BUILT THE
"BLUE FORTRESS".TO PROTECT THE EMPIRE FROM MARAUDING
HORSEMEN COMING DOWN FROM THE "KYBA PASS".
GURKAS:
A HILLY AND MOSTLY FORESTED AREA WHERE MOST OF
THE PEOPLES ARE HUNTER, GATHERERS. THE GURKAS’ AS THEY ARE KNOWN
ARE SUPERB HUNTERS, ABLE TO SNEAK UP ON JUST ABOUT ANYTHING,
INCLUDING THE EVER WARY MONKEYS THAT ARE ABUNDANT IN THAT STATE.
THEREFORE THEY ARE OFTEN USED AS SCOUTS FOR THE ARMY.
NEAPAL:
IS THE RICHEST OF ALL THE PROVINCE’S AND THE
SITE OF THE PRESENT CAPITAL "ANKRA". IN THE NORTH IS THE
"RED FORTRESS" THAT GUARDS THE "SUTRA’S
PASS".THE HILLS ARE RICH IN MINERALS AND THE FORESTS CONTAIN
MANY RARE WOODS. IT ALSO CONTAINS THE SUMMER PALACE AND ROYAL
WILDLIFE RESERVE IN THE FOOTHILLS. THE PRESENT SUPREME MAHARAJA IN
"ANKRA" IS "BHAVARADULA THE FIFTH".
NAGPUR:
THE MAJOR TEA AND CAFA GROWING PROVINCE. BUT IT
ALSO PRODUCES THE FINEST SPUN SILK, WHICH THE INDUS FAVOUR FOR THEIR
BEST CLOTHING.
CYLON:
ALONG WITH PRADESH, CYLON BREEDS THE BEST INDUS
HORSES. IT CONTAINS EXTENSIVE HARDWOOD FORESTS, ESSENTIAL FOR SHIP
BUILDING. MIDRAS, CYLON’S CAPITAL IS A MAJOR PORT, AND SHIP
BUILDING YARD. IT IS ALSO THE LARGEST IN WESTERN INDUS AND HOME TO
THE WESTERN INDUS FLEET.
BENGAS AND BAMRA:
LARGE DEPOSITS OF IRON, COPPER AND TIN MAKE THESE
TWO PROVINCES QUITE WEALTHY. THEY ARE ALSO NOTED FOR THEIR SPICY
FOOD DISHES. THE FEW TRAVELLERS FROM THE OLD WORLD HAVE BEST
DESCRIBED IT SIMILAR TO THE CONTENTS OF A "HALFLING HOTPOT".
IT IS COUNTED AS A MARK OF BRAVERY TO HAVE EATEN SOME. THE LOCALS
USUALLY FIND THE EXPRESSIONS OF THE STRANGERS, AFTER A TASTE, QUITE
AMUSING, AS THEY THEMSELVES HAVE NO TROUBLE EATING THIS.
THE OTHER QUAINT CUSTOM OF THESE TWO REGIONS, IS
THAT THEIR WOMEN ARE BARE BREASTED, AND THIS USUALLY IS ENOUGH TO
ATTRACT SAILORS FROM ALL OVER THE WARHAMMER WORLD TO THE CAPITAL
"GOAS".
PRADESH:
AS WITH CYLON, PRADESH BREEDS HORSES. THEY ALSO HAVE MAJOR
ELEPHANT BREEDING FARMS. THESE PRODUCE THE BEST IN ALL THE EMPIRE.
BERANDESH:
A MAINLY FARMING PROVINCE. BERANDESH SUPPORTS THE
INDUS EASTERN FLEET IN "RAIPUR" IT’S CAPITAL, AND A VERY
SIZEABLE ARMY. IT HAS THE "YELLOW FORT" ON ITS EASTERN
BOARDER DUE TO OCCASIONAL DISAGREEMENTS WITH CATHAY TO THE NORTH.
"RAIPUR" ITSELF IS BUILT ON MAN MADE HILLS DUE TO ANNUAL
FLOODING OF THE "GANDES" RIVER. NORTHERN BERANDESH ALSO
PRODUCES SOME OF THE FINEST GEMS IN INDUS, INCLUDING THE FABLED
"SUNSTONES", SACRED TO THE INDUS GODS.
GREKOS CITY STATES:
W
THIS ORIGINALLY SPARSELY POPULATED AND
MOUNTAINOUS PENINSULAR WAS FIRST POPULATED BY ESCAPED SLAVES FROM
PASSING DARK ELF AND CHAOS DWARF SHIPS. OVER THE CENTURIES THEY
DEVELOPED A UNIQUE CULTURE BASED PURELY ON INFANTRY.
DURING THE UNIFICATION BY ASHOKA A HUGE CHAOS
DWARF ARMY ATTACKED THE CITY OF SPARKUS HOPING TO ENSLAVE THE
INHABITANTS. THE KING OF SPARKUS SENT HERALDS TO THE MAHARAJA ASHOKA,
PLEADING FOR HELP AGAINST THE INVADERS.
ASHOKA SAW THE BENEFITS OF AIDING THE GREKOS AND
HE PERSONALLY LED A HUGE ARMY, INCLUDING MANY ELEPHANTS AND CHARIOTS.
HE SWUNG BEHIND THE CHAOS DWARF ARMY. THE CHAOS DWARFS WERE NOW IN
AN UNTENABLE POSITION. THEY HAD FORTY THOUSAND DWARF, BULL CENTAURS,
ORCS GOBLINS ETC, TRAPPED BETWEEN THE UNASSAILABLE CITY OF SPARKUS
AND A QUARTER MILLION MAN INDUS ARMY. THE RESULT WAS UNQUESTIONABLE,
ONLY ONE IN A HUNDRED OF THE CHAOS DWARF ARMY WERE ABLE TO FLEE TO
THEIR SHIPS AND ESCAPE. THIS WAS THE LARGEST DEFEAT THAT HAD EVER
OCCURRED TO THE CHAOS DWARFS TO THIS DAY.
THE GREKOS WERE SO GRATEFUL, THEY WILLINGLY
JOINED THE EMPIRE OF ASHOKA, AND THEIR TROOPS ARE A COMMON SIGHT IN
THE ARMIES OF INDUS TO THIS DAY.
DUE TO THEIR HISTORY AND THE CONTINUED SPORADIC
RAIDS BY THE CHAOS DWARFS AND THE DARK ELVES, ALL GREKOS HATE THESE
TWO RACES, AS PER RULES.

4 OF THESE ARMS HAVE SWORDS AND IN 1 HE CARRIES A MAGICAL BOW. WHEN

TYPES. HIS BOW HAS A RANGE OF 48" INCHES, A STRENGTH OF 6, D4
DAMAGE WITH NO SAVE ALLOWED AND IT ALSO ACTS AS THE SAME AS A BOLT

THE TIGER IS COMMON THROUGHOUT INDUS AND WHILE
MOST PEOPLE AVOID THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR FEROCITY, SOME FEW VERY
BRAVE INDIVIDUALS HAVE SEARCHED OUT
THEIR LAIRS, TO CAPTURE TIGER CUBS, THEN RAISE
AND TRAIN THEM FOR BATTLE.

THE GIANT TIGER IS THE RESULT OF A SPECIAL
BREEDING PROGRAM. THEY ARE DESCENDED FROM THE INDUS TIGER BUT ARE
LARGE ENOUGH TO BE RIDDEN BY A MAN. HOWEVER ONE THAT DOES IS A BRAVE
INDIVIDUAL.
SPECIAL: GIANT TIGERS CAUSE FEAR. BECAUSE
OF THEIR GREAT AGILITY, GIANT TIGERS MAY LEAP OVER OBSTACLES UPTO

BOTH THE INDUS GODS AND THEIR PRIESTS.

A COMMON SIGHT IN INDUS, IS THE ELEPHANT, AND
MANY ARE USED IN THEIR ARMY. TRAINED FROM A CALF, THEY ARE AN
INTEGRAL PART OF THE FORCE.
TERROR: DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE ANIMAL, AN
ELEPHANT CAUSES TERROR. NOTE, UNITS ON HORSE BACK TAKE THEIR
LEADERSHIP AT -1.
TRAMPLE: A CHARGING ELEPHANT, DUE TO ITS
SIZE AND BULK, CAUSES AN ADDITIONAL D6 STR 7 HITS . IN A WAY SIMILAR
TO A CHARIOT.
SAVE: DUE TO THE THICKNESS OF ITS HIDE, AN
ELEPHANT HAS A 5+.
SHOOTING AT ELEPHANTS: WHEN SHOOTING AT IT
AND ITS CREW, ROLL TO HIT AS NORMAL, ADDING +1 DUE TO AN ELEPHANT
BEING A LARGE TARGET. FOR EACH HIT ROLL A D6 AND CONSULT BELOW TABLE
.....
D6 ROLL: HIT:
1 TO 4 THE ELEPHANT IS HIT, ROLL TO WOUND
5- 6 THE CREW IS HIT, ROLL TO WOUND
HAND TO HAND COMBAT: THE ELEPHANT IS SO
HUGE, THAT CHOOSING YOUR TARGET IN HAND TO HAND IS VERY DIFFICULT,
AND AS SUCH THE TABLE BELOW REFLECTS THIS....
D6 ROLL: HIT:
1 TO 3 THE CREW
4 TO 6 THE ELEPHANT
THE ELEPHANT IS A HERD ANIMAL. IF ALL THE CREW
ARE SLAIN THE ELEPHANT WILL COPY THE NEAREST ELEPHANT’S ACTIONS,
IF NO OTHER ELEPHANT IS VISIBLE THEY BECOME SUBJECT TO THE RULES OF
STUPIDITY.

CASTER. IT MAY USE INDUS OR JADE SPELLS, ALONG WITH BATTLE MAGIC. IT
CAN SPIT POISON IN THE SHOOTING PHASE. IT HAS A RANGE OF 6", IF
IT HITS IT CAUSES A STRENGTH 6 HIT DOING D6 DAMAGE. NORMAL ARMOUR
SAVE APPLIES.
MAIDEN GUARD:
DAUGHTERS OF HIGH OFFICIALS AND THE MAHARAJA’S
DAUGHTERS FROM THEIR WIVES AND CONCUBINES. THEY ARE TRAINED BY THE
BEST TEACHERS IN THE ART OF WAR, AND ACT AS THE PERSONAL GUARD OF
THE MAHARAJA’S PALACE.....
THE GURKA’S:
BROUGHT UP IN THE FORESTS OF GURKAS, THEY ARE
EXPERT SCOUTS ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH WOODS, JUNGLE AND FOREST WITH
EASE. THEY ARE ALWAYS USED AS SKIRMISHERS AND NEVER AS A NORMAL UNIT.
THEY MAY BE SET UP AFTER ALL FIGURES HAVE BEEN PLACED BY BOTH SIDES,
AND IT CAN BE ANYWHERE ON THE BOARD, OUT OF SIGHT OF THE ENEMY AND
OUTSIDE HIS DEPLOYMENT ZONE...
GREKOS PSYLOI:
YOUNG WARRIORS OF THE GREKOS CITY STATES. THEY
ARE TRAINED TO HARASS THE ENEMY BEFORE THE HOPLITES CLOSE IN. THEY
ADOPT A SKIRMISH FORMATION AND FIRE STONES FROM THEIR SLINGS.
HOPLITES:
THIS POWERFUL UNIT IS THE MAIN BODY OF THE GREKOS
ARMY AND ALL STATES CONTRIBUTE MEN INTO A POOL, IN WHICH
REPLACEMENTS CAN BE CALLED FROM. AS ALL MALES ARE BOUND TO SERVE
SOME TIME IN THE ARMY, THE HOPLITE UNITS ARE VERY WELL TRAINED,
ESPECIALLY AGAINST CAVALRY. THEIR PHALANX FORMATION, ONCE
ENCOUNTERED IS NOT EASILY FORGOTTEN AS TO THE POTENCY OF LOCKED
SHIELDS AND PIKES.
RAJPUTS:
BY FAR THE MOST COMMON FOOT TROOPS WITHIN THE
INDUS ARMY. THEY ARE USED FOR MANY DUTIES, INCLUDING GARRISON,
PATROL, BODYGUARD FOR MINOR OFFICIALS. THESE UNITS CAN ALSO BE HIRED
BY WEALTHY MERCHANTS TO PROTECT THEIR CARAVANS. SOME UNITS ARE
TRAINED AS SKIRMISHERS AND THESE ARE CALLED "SHATRIYA"
SIKHS:
THESE BATTLE HARDENED WARRIORS COME FROM ALL OVER
THE EMPIRE. ONLY THE BEST WARRIORS ARE CHOSEN AND THEN GIVEN THAT
EXTRA TRAINING TO MAKE THEM AMONG THE BEST IN THE ARMY.
BEASTMASTERS:
THESE HUNTERS ARE EMPLOYED BY THE RAJAHS TO
CAPTURE AND TRAIN TIGERS FOR USE WITHIN THE ARMY, OR FOR PLEASURE AS
PETS. THE BEAST MASTER MAY SEND HIS TIGERS TO ATTACK ANY ENEMY
WITHIN THEIR CHARGE RANGE. UNLESS IN CLOSE COMBAT THE TIGERS WILL
TRY TO REMAIN 12" FROM THEIR MASTER.
PANDAVAS:
PANDAVAS, THOUGH LESS COMMON THEN "RAJPUTS".
THEY ARE USED FOR THE EXACT SAME ROLES AS THEY ARE, ONLY BEING
MOUNTED ON AN INDUS HORSE.
INDUS HORSE ARE IMMUNE TO TERROR CAUSED
BY ELEPHANTS..
CHARIOTS:
AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE ARMY, AND ARE USED FOR
HARD HITTING STRIKES AGAINST THEIR ENEMY. LIGHT CHARIOTS ARE CALLED "GAURAVAS"
AND THE HEAVY CHARIOTS ARE KNOWN AS "VEDAS".
ELEPHANTS:
THESE ARE THE MOST HARD HITTING ELEMENT OF THE
WHOLE INDUS ARMY. MANY INDUS GENERALS HAVE BASED THEIR WHOLE ARMY
AROUND A LARGE UNIT OF THESE AWESOME CREATURES. ALONG WITH THE LARGE
CREW THAT IS ABLE TO BE CARRIED GREAT DESTRUCTION USUALLY FOLLOWS.
COMPANIONS:
THESE ARE THE ELITE FORCES OF THE GREKOS CITY
STATES. THEY ARE SUPERB HORSEMEN AND FORM THE GENERALS BODYGUARD.
INDUS PRIESTS:
THE MAGIC USERS OF INDUS ARE QUITE DIFFERENT FROM
THE WIZARDS OF THE REST OF THE WARHAMMER WORLD, IN AS FAR AS INDUS
MAGIC USERS DO NOT RELY ON THE WINDS OF MAGIC. THEY CALL ON INSTEAD,
THEIR MYRIAD OF POWERFUL GODS, TO CHANNEL THE GODS POWER THROUGH
THEMSELVES. INDUS PRIESTS HAVE A 6+ SAVE AGAINST ANY SPELL. THIS IS
TAKEN IN ADDITION TO ANY COUNTER MAGIC. THIS IS TO DEPICT HOW CLOSE
AND HOW POWERFUL THEIR CONTACT WITH THEIR GODS ARE.
PHALANGITES:
THESE GREAT WARRIORS ARE VETERAN HOPLITES. KEPT
ON FOR THEIR EXPERIENCE IN WARFARE.
