The Kislevite Army

The Imperial Army of Kislev

Return to the New Armies page  

AUTHOR'S NOTES

This project is dedicated to my friend Tommy Boyd, long may his Kislevites ride! 

I have split this army list in two separate sections because many people are not interested in the history and the backround, and this makes the reading of this huge file a bit easier. 

I haven`t given the statistics of those troops/characters/War Machines that are already published by GW. This is intentional, because of the principle of the copyrights. 

This army list has been a my pet project for long time, since I am a big fan of the russian folklore. The richness of their culture, and the depth of their tradition is truly amazing. The Russia of the by-gone ages creates a strong athmosphere, and summons colourful pictures of mighty armies, determined to spill every drop of their blood in the defense of their beloved motherland. 

Most of the magic items described are for all to see in the weapons room in Moscow, or are a part of russian tales and legends. Many Special characters have their correspondents in history. 

The Kislevite army is one of my many army list projects, which include the Horde of Hobgobla-Khan, the Celtic Army of Albion, and the Armies of Nippon. I hope one day to send them to GW and maybe they might publish my work. (Fat chance! :( ) 

I would very much appreciate any comments, corrections and criticism. Any ideas of good additions are also welcome. If there is sufficient interest I could also post the rest of the Kislevite characters and rules, Including Vasilisa the Wise, Prince Ivan, and the most dreaded Kislevite Witch of all time, Baba Yaga. 

I would like the peolple to express their ideas wich figures would best represent the troops of this list, and any colour themes fitting the Kislevites. 

But now old Longsword is very tired. Here is the history of the Kislev. 

HISTORY

The History of Kislev reaches back almost 1000 years, from the times when the hordes of Gospodars finally arrived over the Worlds Edge mountains in strength. The Empire, long a realm torn by internal strife was too weak to hold it`s northernmost provinces. When the Empire finally gathered its strength, the Gospodars had already established their realm. 

Emperor Dieter III relised that the Empire would benefit from this bulwrack against chaos and the barbarous Norse, and formed an alliance with the tsar Alexandr I. Since then Kislev and the Empire have enjoyed a strong alliance with each other, and often send allied troops to help their friends in the hour of need. A notable example of this is the Gryphon Legion that is based in the Empire and includes many of the noblest sons of Kislev. 

Both Norse barbarians and the dread hordes of Chaos threaten the borders of Kislev. Because of this the army of Kislev is numerous and powerful, and mercenaries are always welcome in Kislev. The realm is in the state of continual warfare, and the people have grown hard in the face of their trials. 

The last great Chaos Incursion almost overrun the Wolrd, and only by the valiant efforts of Kislevites, supported by the dwarfs and a mighty army of Magnus the Pious barely turned the tide 200 years ago. 

The current ruler of Kislev is Tzarina Katarin, who followed his father Radii Bokha after his mysterious death. City States of Kislev, Erengrad and Praag in particular are independent realms, but owe their fealty to the ruler of Kislev. 

THE PEOPLE

GOSPODARS

  • The mainstay of the people of kislev are gospodars: tall, broadshouldered and blond or red-haired people with deep voices. They are quiet and grim in the face of the outsiders, but in fact they are very sentimental people, with deep love for their families and their land. They are mighty fighters, and the most corageous opponents of Chaos anywhere. 

    • Womenfolk of Kislev are famed for their beauty, and the Kislevites value their females as highly as men. There is no reason why a woman could not rise into important poaitions in the goverment, and the bloodline is traced by the mothers side. Most kislevite women tend to stay at home, however, but in the house and home their authority is absolute and far above of that of a man. 

    Most powerful kislevite sorcerers are always women, and many tales have been told about Baba Yaga, the most powerful Witch of all time. Gospodars love music, and their dances, especially the Bladedance, are famous throughout the Old World. Their battle-songs are one of the most impressive sounds in the Known Wolrd, and their dreaded war-cry "URAAA! URAAA!" is feared where-ever it is heard. 

COSSACKS

  • Cossacks are nomadic people who live in the far North. Riders and scouts without peer, these brave warriors have always stood in the defense of the realm against the wrath of Chaos. Year after year a war of ambush and counter-ambush is fought, and usually Cossacks are victorious. Even when faced with the overwhelming odds and power, their hatred against the forces of Chaos often sees them through. 

HUNS

The most primitive and savage of all peoples of Kislev, Huns are little more than animals. They file their teeth, scar their bodies and enter battles in a berserker state of fury. They are cannibalistic, vicious race, but never-the-less tfearless in the defense of their land. No opponent wishes to be captured by the Huns, for his fate shall be worse than death. 

PLACES OF INTEREST

ERENGRAD

  • Of the trading cities of the Old World, only Marienburg is larger and more important. Whale-oil, sea-ivory, timber, pearls, tar and fish are traded here, and even the sleek ships of the High Elves often come here, daring the dangers of the seas polluted by the Chaos. Traders from Bretonnia, Marienburg and the Empire come to this city wich is situated in the lagoon at the head of river Lynks. 

KISLEV

  • This city stands in the banks of river Urskoy, and is built around "Gora Geroyev", known also as Kreml, "The Hill of the Heroes". It is a fortress-city, for the Realm of Chaos draws ever nearer every year, and the many valiant Kislevites are buried every day in the red soil of Kreml. Dwarfs hired from the Empire and from their own realm work tirelessly to strenghten the defenses. 

PRAAG

  • During the last great Chaos Incursion this once-beautiful city was completely overrun by the forces of Chaos. The minions of the Four Powers breached the defenses of the city and put the inhabitants to sword. Those few who survived by fleeing in the surrounding woods returned to find their homes twisted by the Chaos. The buildings had melted with the flesh, forming disturbing and sickening visage of horror. 

    • Tzar of Erengrad ordered the city to be burned down and re-built. This was done, but the Chaos returned. Travellers tell tales of cries of agony that pierce the nights, and faeces appearing in the walls of the buildings, consuming unwary with sharp teeth. Kislevites burn down and re-build their homes continually to retain some measure of sanity. They refuse to move away, for they feel that this would mean giving in to Chaos. 

    Current Tzar Saltan spends his time drilling his militia and dreaming of the revenge he will inflict upon the foul spawn of chaos.

    ZARINA KATARIN, THE ICE QUEEN OF KISLEV

    When included in the army of Kislev Tzarina Katarin will always be the general of the army and thus replace the normal general.

Her innumerable hordes of Gospodars, Tartars, Cossacks, Huns and Ungols almost overrun the Empire during the first bloody years of foundind of Kislev. Such was her power as a warrior and that only the combined armies of Empire, Bretonnia and Dwarfs managed to stop her, and even then she was not defeated, and the battle ende in a bloody stale-mate. Miska drew her hordes back to North and founded Kislev in the regions she had conquered from dwarfs and the men of the Empire. The peolple of Kislev remember her with pride and affection, and she is sainted by the church of Kislev.  

    Miska sported wild black hair and filed her teeth as her savage forefathers before her. She was a master of both magic and arms, and perhaps there will never be one as great as she.

    IVAN THE TERRIBLE......................................105 points

    Bloodedge..................................................+50 points 

    Ivan the terrible is a dark legend amongst the Kislevites. He was perhaps the most feared Tzar of all time, for his great intelligence and courage were tainted by an unreasoning rage. He ordered the infamous behedings amongst the bojar family of Melnikovs, destroying almost every single member of that family because of a dream where a young man named Melnikov toppled his Kindom. The taxes he set to the poor people of Kislev were enormous and they were ruthlessly collected by his cruel servants. Thousand died during his regime.  

    But Ivan was also a mighty warrior, and he was never defeated in a battle. He united the Kislev as we know it know, and formed a strong monarchy which endures to this day. He was great military innovator and without his organization of army, Kislev might well be a part of the Realm of Chaos.  

    Your army may include Ivan the Terrible as an independent character if you wish. He cannot be your general because once the fighting starts, he is far too busy slaying the enemies and has no time to lead an army! He can lead units if you wish.
