Warhammer Armies: Kislev Tempus Fugitives

Introduction
IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL ARMY BOOK. IT IS A SUPPLIMENTARY ARMY LIST FOR USE WITH
TEMPUS FUGITIVE EVENTS AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED IN ANY WAY OFFICIAL OUTSIDE OF THOSE
EVENTS. THAT SAID THE UNITS AND RULES WITHIN HAVE BEEN PLAYTESTED AND DEVELOPED WITH BALANCE
AND FAIRNESS IN MIND AND PLAYERS ARE WELCOME TO USE THESE RULES IN THEIR OWN GAMES OF
WARHAMMER FANTASY BATTLE.

The Tempus Fugitives have designed this army list to be (we hope) as enjoyable and fun to use as possible. It is
our hope that we can repay some small part of the kindness that the gaming community has shown us over the
years and organise a top notch event that everyone can enjoy.

The original work found in the previous Warhammer and Warmaster lists laid the groundwork for this document.
A more fully fleshed out list was required for the Tempus Fugitive campaign weekends. Any similarity is more
likely due to a common point of inspiration rather than any deliberate duplication on our part. That said, one or
two ideas may have in fact originated in the community rather than from the original source material and I
apologise in advance if anything appears here that has not been properly credited.

Lands of Ice and Thunder

The inhospitable land of Kislev lies to the northeast of the Empire and acts as a bulwark between the land of Sigmar and the
Realm of Chaos. Kislev is a wide‐open steppe containing waving, tall grasses and thundering, icy rivers. Lonely villages stand
isolated in the empty wilderness, and mighty cities rise from the landscape like great islands of stone. The climate is harsh
and unforgiving, and only the strongest, most determined people can survive here. The Kislevite people are wolf‐tough and
self reliant; often seen as backward and rustic by their more civilized neighbours, but none can doubt their bravery or
determination, for Kislev is a land that stands forever on the brink of destruction. The people of Kislev have seen their
country ripped asunder by foul hordes from the Chaos Wastes of the far north time and time again, and now these stoic folk
face a colder and harder life than they ever have before

Kislev is a country forged from various warring invaders who finally settled alongside each other. The bulk of the nation's
population is made up of the fierce Ungols, the steely Gospodars. These two peoples have blended over the centuries into
the nation of Kislev. The ruling elite, from whom the Tzars and Tzarinas hail, are of Gospodar heritage. The influence of the
Gospodar language and beliefs is more evident in the south, particularly in the cities of Kislev and Erengrad, while further
north, the land becomes more barren, and the horse tribes still hold sway. In fact, Praag has been reclaimed in a large part by
the old Ungol nobility, and many ways is a separate power in the north.

Frequently the bulwark against the tribes of Chaos, the Kislevites relish the debt owed to them by the people of the Empire
to the south whom they protect. However, this does not stop the Kislevites from bitterly complaining about this state of
affairs at every opportunity. The Kislevites are closer to the people of the Empire than many of them would admit and view
them with a kind of patronising humour that one might reserve for a bright but slightly eccentric child.

Special Rules
The most famed military units of Kislev are the Winged Lancer cavalry, formed from the sons of the old Gospodar
nobility. Amongst them are the Gryphon Legion, an elite regiment consisting of the wealthiest knights, and often
found fighting in the Empire. These are supported by archers and axe men on foot, and mounted horse archers from
the nomad tribes. The following special rules apply to many models in the army:

Kin of the Bear God: Kislevites are renowned for being dour in demeanour and ferocious once roused to battle. They
do not scare easily! As a result of their hard‐bitten nature, units with this special rule always re‐roll failed Panic tests.

Steady in the Ranks: Kossars have fought for centuries with their distinctive combination of axe and bow. Their entire
purpose is to wear the enemy down and then receive the charge with their heavy axes. They are trained to swiftly
change weapons without undue haste. Units with the Steady in the Ranks special rule may stand & shoot as a charge
reaction even if the enemy are within half their normal charge distance. In addition, if the enemy are outside half of
their normal charge distance, the Kossars do not suffer the normal ‐1 penalty on their To Hit rolls.

Glorious Charge: Kislevite cavalry at the gallop are an awesome sight, their bright armour shining, their colourful
uniforms blazing, accompanied by the fearsome shrieking emitted by their back banners. Any unit charged by a unit
with the Glorious Charge special rule with a Unit Strength of 5 or more must take a Panic test.

Horselords: The Ungols are a fierce warrior peoples who learn to ride from an early age. Units with the Horselords
special rule may re‐roll the dice to see what distance they move for any pursuit roll.

Release the Hounds: Kislevite hunting hounds are expert at pinning down their master’s foe. Units containing at least
five Kislevite hunting hounds roll 3d6 to see what distance they move for any pursuit roll. If the unit fails to catch their
fleeing enemies, half the distance they actually move as the Kislevites bring their Hounds to heel.

Ungol: The blood of the nomad tribes runs hot iin the veins of units with this rule. Units with this rule may only be led
by characters with this rule. Characters with this rule may only be placed in units with this rule.

GEOGRAPHY
Kislev lies to the north‐east of the Empire, and is the most northerly ‘civilised’ nation. It is
bordered by the Empire to the south and west, the Sea of Claws to the west, the Troll Country
to the north and the Worlds Edge Mountains to the north‐east and east.

The northern border of the country is ill‐defined, but many draw it at the River Lynsk, which
flows westward from the Worlds Edge Mountains to the Sea of Claws, while its border with
the Empire has been established at the River Urskoy (named after the god Ursun), a tributary
of the Talabec. The north of Kislev is barely distinguishable from the Troll Country and the
tundra beyond, more wooded to the east in the foothills of the mountains. Some Kislev tribes
travel further north than the Lynsk, into the Troll Country, and eastwards along the High Pass.
It is a cold, infertile land, and most of the Kislevites who live here have a nomadic existence,
moving constantly from one grazing ground to the next, much like the Marauder tribes of the
Shadowlands.

Further south, Kislev becomes more hospitable, though still chill for the entire year. More
farmsteads can flourish in these lands, though quarried stone is in short supply and so buildings tend to be of uncut rocks or wooden
construction, giving them a rustic appearance which people of the Empire would consider backward and uncivilised. This is not so true of
the mighty palaces and temples of the cities, with their distinctive gold, onion‐shaped domes and towers.

There are three such cities in Kislev: Praag, Erengrad and a capital that is also called Kislev. Each city has its own distinct history and
personality, and so though they are all peopled by Kislevites, they have a character of their own.

Kislev
The capital of the nation and seat of the Tzars and Tzarinas who rule the land, Kislev is the largest and most developed of the three cities.
Situated close to the Urskoy, it is virtually on the border with the Empire, and many Imperial customs and aesthetic values have influenced
Kislev life, literature and architecture. Founded as the capital by the Khans and Khan‐queens of the Gospodar people in Year 1 (IC1524), it
has been besieged several times in its history, though has never fallen to an enemy. At the centre of Kislev lies the Bokha Palaces, the
hereditary seat of power rebuilt during the reign of Tzar Boris Bokha after the original Palace Gospodarin was all but destroyed during the
Great War against Chaos in 778 (IC2302).

Erengrad
Originally the Ungol capital, when it was merely a walled town known as Norvard, and later overrun by the Gospodars, Erengrad is Kislev’s
main trading city and its largest port. Situated on the coast of the Sea of Claws, vessels from across the Old World, New World and even
Norsca come here with goods, slaves, gems and precious metals. Kislev does not have a standing navy as such, but the waters of the Sea of
Claws are dangerous, despite the patrols of the Imperial navy, and all merchantmen are armed in some fashion, many to the standards of
other nations’ warships, and can be pressed into service by the Tzarina when needed.

Praag
Also know as the Cursed City, Praag is the most northerly of Kislev’s largest settlements and has been overrun by the northern tribes
several times. During the Great War against Chaos, the walls and buildings themselves became so corrupted with Chaos energy that they
sprouted tentacles and eyes. Wailing screams echoed from roof tops and the ground beneath the city shifted and writhed. After their
victory at the siege of Kislev, the Kislevites razed Praag to the ground and rebuilt it, though it is still rumoured that a dark taint remains
there. The people of Praag are regarded as shifty and nervous by most outsiders, paranoid and potentially in league with the Dark Powers
of the North. Praag also acts as a rallying point for the scattered horse tribes in times of war, and has a considerable Ungol population. This
has led to Praag attempting to cede from the power of the Tzars on three occasions; twice the city was starved into submission by trade
embargoes from the south, and on the third occasion, the city was reclaimed by military force and is now ruled by a Gospodar governor
responsible only to the Tzarina herself.

CALENDAR
Kislev in fact uses three dating systems: the Imperial calendar, the Gospodarin calendar and the Ungol calendar. The Ungol calendar is now
only used for the northern tribes, and works on the principle of a four‐year cycle called an Urtza, dating from the time that the great Bear
God, Ursun, first awoke from hibernation. This date roughly equates to 500 years before Sigmar. Dates are also known to vary from tribe to
tribe, so that while one tribe may say that the great chieftain Eskadar fought the battle of Lynsk in 452 (IC 1310 = (1310+500)/4), another
might say it is in 453 (IC 1312). For these reasons, it is only of interest to scholars for its eccentricity more than its functional use.

More widespread is the use of the Gospodarin calendar, which dates from IC1524, the founding of the city of Kislev. Since the Great War
against Chaos, the Imperial calendar has been growing ever more in its usage, and now it is common for dates to be given in both the
Gospodarin calendar and the Imperial calendar.

RELIGION
The Kislevites are descended from Human tribes that travelled from the Kurgan tribes of the north and east. In particular, the Kurgan
influence is still strong in the north and the horse tribes share many traditions and customs with the likes of the Dolgans, Khazags and
other Marauder tribes. The ancient traditions of these peoples are more keenly held to amongst the nomads, who see their southern
cousins as weakened by the civilising influence of the Empire. In this respect, worship of the various ancient Kislev gods varies across the
nation, being more prominent in the north, while other gods have been incorporated into the Kislevite religion in southern lands. In
addition, the Gospodars brought with them the Cult of the Bear God Ursun, which has been strongly established as the dominant religion
of Kislev.

As most of the Kislevite ancestry originated from the eastern steppes and the harsh northlands, their gods represent very important forces
in their lives. Various nature and household spirits are worshipped all across the Old World, but this is particularly strong in Kislev. These
magical creatures are servants and messengers of the gods in this world, and should be treated as such.

Major Gods of Kislev

URSUN
Description: Ursun is the Father of Bears, which the ancient Gospodar held as sacred creatures. He is, unsurprisingly, most usually depicted
as a massive cave bear, with a crown, teeth and claws of glistening gold. It is said that Ursun can take human form, and will appear as a
burly, bearded man with an age‐worn face, with thick hairy arms and a great mop of hair, wearing nothing but a loincloth.

Symbol: Depictions of a bear or a bear’s face are most common, although worshippers of Ursun might well also wear a medallion of gold,
shaped like a bear’s claw. Devout followers of Ursun wear bearskin cloaks, or wear a bear’s paw as a talisman. Amongst the northern
tribes, it is not uncommon for Ursun cultists to wear a bear’s skull over their helmets, or fixed to the front of their shields.

Temples: Ursun has no temples as such, but rough cairns and standing stones in the depths of forests have been raised over the centuries
to honour him. Sometimes a cave once inhabited by a particularly large or fearsome bear will be turned into a shrine to Ursun, filled with
rough lamps and offerings of fish and berries. In the cities, wooded areas are allowed to grow wild in certain parks and within the grounds
of large buildings, and these are treated as areas sacred to Ursun.

It is not uncommon for someone wishing to entreat aid from Ursun to nail a fish or hunk of meat to their door to attract his spirit.

Friends and enemies: There is much friction between the followers of Ulric and Ursun. This is more a matter of pride than genuine
animosity, as worshippers of Ursun and Ulric have much in common, but contests of strength‐at‐arms and other physical rivalry is
commonplace. There is much goodwill between the cult of Ursun and that of Taal, and they share a common border at the Talabec. Ursun
worshippers think it a bit daft to worship all animals in equal measure, since bears are obviously the lords of the wild, while Taal cultists
think it a bit strange to revere one animal over any other. However, on the whole they share many similar rituals and beliefs. Generally,
followers of Ursun are unconcerned with other religions, and many of the southern gods are seen by them as a bit soft and unworthy of
praise.

Holy Days: There are only two true holy days of Ursun: the spring equinox, when cultists gather to rouse Ursun from his winter sleep with
loud rituals, setting huge bonfires, roasting deer, drinking alcohol and generally making as much racket as possible; and the autumn
equinox when the first harvest is offered up to Ursun so that he might gorge himself and prepare for his winter’s rest.

Strictures: Never hunt a bear in the winter – let him sleep. Bears must always be killed by hand or arrow – no dogs or traps.
Only wear the skin, claw or skull of a bear you have killed yourself. Eat fish at least once per week, but never eat fish and other meat on the
same day. Never perform your ablutions indoors.

DAZH
Description: Dazh is the god of fire and the sun. It was Dazh who took the secret of flame from the sun and gave it to the ancient warrior
chiefs of the tribesmen. Without Dazh’s fire, the long winters would be fatal, and tributes and prayers are regularly offered up to him. In
more civilised lands, he rules over the hearths of homes, and is also the patron of guests and the needy. Thus, hospitality to those who call
engenders safety for a household, while a poor host or hostess may find that their fire will not start, or that their roof springs an
unexpected leak.

Dazh is portrayed as a handsome youth, with long flowing hair and wreathed in fire. He is beautiful to behold and none can look at him
directly without being blinded by his divine appearance. He is said to live in a golden palace in the east where he rests every night after
travelling the world during the day. In his palace, he is accompanied by warrior‐consorts called the Arari, who can often be seen dancing
and fighting for his amusement in the northern skies.

Symbol: The symbol of a sun, or a flame, are most commonly used as talismans by followers of Dazh. Gold is a sacred metal to the cult, and
higher ranking priests will wear increasingly more gold decoration and jewellery.

Temples: The temples of Dazh are large, open arenas so that worshippers may pay homage to their god under the sky in which he lives.
The richest of these temples are dominated by a large gilded statue of their god, and all contain many burning braziers and firepits which
wreath the heavens in scented smoke and can never be allowed to go out.

Friends and enemies: The cult of Dazh is on genial terms with other main religions of the Old World, although there is some distrust
between them and worshippers of Ulric (as god of winter).

Holy Days: Every day is holy day to Dazh. Worshippers must give brief thanks every morning when Dazh arises from his bed of coals, and
wish him well when he returns to sleep every evening. The summer solstice is the most holy day of the year for the cult of Dazh, it being
the day when their god walks amongst his followers for the longest time. Amongst the most barbaric of the northern tribes, the ancient
tradition of offering up a sacrifice to Dazh on a pyre, whilst chanting praise to the sun god, is still practiced on the solstice. In the more
cultured lands of the south, this has been replaced by the burning of an ox or horse upon a fire of parchments on which the worshippers’
prayers are written.

Strictures: Always offer hospitality, even to strangers and enemies. Never let a fire go out during the night. Never set a fire on a dirty
hearth. Offer prayers to Dazh on the first morning that the winter snows cover the ground.

TOR
Description: Tor is the god of thunder and lightning, and is worshipped as a warrior god. He is portrayed as a muscled, square‐jawed
warrior. He wields a massive axe with a haft of oak, and uses it to cleave the sky to create the thunderbolts for which he is famed. A warrior
god, Tor is the most active of the Kislevite gods, and quite frequently his name is used as a curse on others. For example, the phrase ‘Ty
Tor!’ means ‘By Tor!’ and is an exclamation of surprise. On the other hand, ‘Do Tor!’ means ‘Tor’s Bolt!’ and is an entreaty for the god to
unleash his anger upon the enemy.

Symbol: Tor is usually represented by the symbol of a thunderbolt, or an axe with a thunderbolt for a haft. Silver is considered the favoured
metal of Tor, and it is usual for a famed warrior to have threads of silver woven into his moustache or beard as a sign of thanks to the
storm god.

Temples: Tor’s temples are built atop hills and there are many in the Worlds Edge Mountains near to the Peak Pass and High Pass. They are
imposing structures of large stone blocks with heavy roofs of wooden logs.

Friends and Enemies: Tor has an indifferent approach to the other gods, and his followers have no particular allies, though they tend to get
on well with worshippers of Ulric.

Holy Days: No formal holy days. However, during a mighty storm, adherents to the Torian faith will gather outside and give praise to their
god. Warriors pray to Tor before and after battle.

Strictures: There is only one known stricture for the cult of Tor, and it is a sensible one – never stand under a tree in a thunderstorm.

OTHER WORSHIP
In the most southern regions, other gods are worshipped in small numbers by some Kislevites. Most notable of these are Taal (after all,
Kislev borders one side of the Talabec, his sacred river) and Ulric. Even more than other Old Worlders, the Kislevites pay tribute to all
manner of nature and household spirits who help them in their daily lives, or set them tests to prove themselves. Little offerings and rituals
are followed in a near‐unthinking fashion to appease the various needs of these sometimes mischievous but usually benevolent creatures.

THE ENDLESS WAR
Kislev breeds hardy people, not only because of the harsh climate and generally infertile lands, but also due to the constant depredations
by raiders from the Chaos Wastes. These are usually constant, small‐scale affairs as individual warbands and tribes head south in search of
glory and plunder. Known by the Kislevites as Kyazak, these raiding parties are an ever‐present threat to settlements and caravans north of
the Lynsk, and some even venture as far south as to cross the Lynsk itself.
The incursions are short‐lived, lasting perhaps only for a season at a time, and either end when winter draws in, or they are driven back by
the armies of the Kislevites.
These armies are drawn from the scattered stanitsas and towns of the Kislev oblast, which each provide a standing force of warriors, much
like a militia. Ungol horse archers patrol the most northern reaches of the country, while settlements with a great Gospodar heritage pool
their resources to create squadrons (or rotas as they are known) of the famed Winged Lancers. This tradition is continued by the cities, and
the Tzarina can command a large number of Winged Lancers drawn from the richest families and their household troops.
Occasionally, a particularly powerful chieftain or warlord will rise in Norsca, or amongst the tribes of the Kurgan people. They weld
together a rough confederation of several tribes and launch attacks into Kislev. At these times, the various rotas of Kislev are drawn
together into larger army groups called pulks. These pulks are invariably under the command of a noble of Gospodar heritage and are the
closest Kislev has to a standing army. Sometimes, a single pulk is enough to see off the threat, but other times two, three or more pulks
may combine their forces to counter an ambitious Marauder warlord.
During the Great War against Chaos, when the half‐daemonic warlord Asavar Kul drove his armies into Kislev, accompanied by legions of
daemonic creatures and bestial warbands, every pulk in the land was gathered to oppose the threat, and yet the Kislevites were sorely
pressed to hold the tide. It is a testament to their stubbornness and pride that they held as long as they did, allowing an alliance of Men,
Dwarfs and Elves, led by Magnus the Pious, to break the siege of the capital and drive back the immense horde.
Every year, the Kyazak grow more daring, their attacks driving deeper and deeper across the Lynsk, until the settlements outlying Erengrad
and Kislev have come under threat. Yet the Kislevites, and their ancestors, have spilt blood every year to take and protect their lands, and
whilst one Kislevite draws breath, there will be one who will defend against the northern hordes.
ALLIES OF KISLEV
Although Kislevites would like the world to think otherwise, their nation does not stand alone against the perils of Chaos. Although they
must endure the constant raids and attacks of the northern Marauders, in times of need when the followers of Chaos have gathered in
great numbers, the Kislevites have received aid from others. Most commonly forces from the Empire, and in particular Ostland, the
Ostermark and Talabecland, march north to assist against these larger incursions.

However, during the Great War against Chaos, when the hordes of the north stretched like a sea across the Taiga, the Elves and Dwarf
came to the aid of the Men. In return, it has been known for Kislevites to aid the Dwarfs, sometimes to clear the mountain passes, and in
particular the High Pass, of foes such as Skaven, Greenskins and Marauders. Both respect the stubbornness they see in each other, though
Kislevites cannot understand how Dwarfs can spend so much time underground, while a Dwarf generally thinks that all that open sky drives
the Kislevites a little bit insane.
Though the great forests of the Empire give way to the increasingly desolate oblast of Kislev, the country is not without small woods and
forests, some of which are rumoured to be the homes of isolated Wood Elf communities. The Wood Elves distrust all other races, even
their own kin of Ulthuan, but when ancient foes rear their heads, they have been known to make common cause with others. There are
very few incidents of this in Kislev history, but they are there – battles against Beastmen when unexpected Wood Elf allies have attacked
the Chaotic creatures from their hiding places, and occasions when a Kislev patrol has been drawn to the sounds of fighting to find a small
Wood Elf community embattled by Orcs or Marauders.

Lords
THE TIME OF TZAR BORIS BOKHA ‐ URSUN IN ASCENDANCE
Tzar Boris Bokha was a fierce warrior and devout follower of the Bear God, Ursun. He was known by
many as Boris Ursus or Radii Bokha (Red‐Bokha ‐ a reference to the oceans of enemy blood he
spilled in battle). Rising to the throne in 968 (2492 in the Imperial calendar) after his father, Tzar
Vladimir Bokha, died fighting Goblins east of Kislev, Boris inherited a nation that had done little to
recover from the devastation caused during the Great War against Chaos of 2302. In a move
resented by the old guard of the Kislev court, Radii Bokha nearly emptied the treasuries hiring
mercenaries to re‐train the Kislev army, rebuilding bridges, roads and towns, and importing black
powder and engineers from the Empire.

Though it almost bankrupted his family (and several other noble families into the bargain), Tzar
Boris' reign will be forever remembered for his driving spirit and eagerness to reclaim the lands that
had become infested with Goblins, Trolls, Beastmen and other vile creatures. He was also
instrumental in a revival of the Ursun Bear Cult, which had slowly been overtaken by the worship of
Ulric, Taal and other foreign gods. To do so, he undertook the trial of initiation that all priests of
Ursun must overcome, and went into the forests to tame a bear. He was not seen or heard of for
eighteen days, and many feared he had met a gruesome fate in the depths of the icy forests.
Preparations began for the coronation of his infant daughter Katarin (who was only four years old
at the time).when the search parties came across his unconscious form on the nineteenth day. His still body was guarded by a bear of
gigantic proportions that would not allow anyone near. The Tzar was surrounded by the corpses of over two dozen wolves, and the snow
was red with their blood. Nothing the searchers could do would entice the bear away from their ruler or convince it that they meant no
harm. Finally, after another day had passed, Boris awoke and the bear allowed the searchers to approach and tend to his wounds.

The tale Boris related upon his return to Kislev has since passed into folklore, though few doubt the truth of it. Four days before being found
by the searchers and after much wandering, he came across the mightiest bear he had ever seen, with teeth and claws like sword blades.
Taking this as a sign from Ursun, he had confronted the beast, and it had charged him, the ground shaking with the fury of its charge and a
bloodcurdling roar echoing through the forest. With his bare hands, he fended off the creature's attacks, but could not overpower it. The
struggle lasted a full day before a wolf pack, drawn by the scent of their combined blood, attacked. The wolves immediately went for the
bear, but Boris sprang to its aid, crushing their skulls with his fists and tearing them from its back. Boris was badly wounded however, and
fell beneath the attacks of the wolves. As the beasts closed in for the kill, it was the bear's turn to protect his erstwhile enemy from the
common foe. It stood over the supine Tzar, tearing the wolves apart with its claws and savaging them with its powerful jaws. Boris had
slipped into unconsciousness, yet each time he had drifted awake, the bear had been there, protecting him from the wolves. The bear
returned to Kislev with the Tzar, and from then on, whenever Boris took to the field of battle, it was atop the back of Urskin (as the beast
came to be known, meaning bear‐brother), both a symbol of Ursun's power and affection for Boris, and also as an implacable enemy in
battle.

Tzar Boris met his end in battle in 2517 whilst leading a pulk north of the Lynsk into the Troll Country. At an unnamed river crossing, the Tzar
charged deep into the Kurgan army of Hetzar Feydaj, but soon found himself surrounded and cut off from the rest of his army. He and
Urskin fought with all the might and fury of the Bear God himself, but even Red Boris could not triumph against such odds. Urskin was able
to fight his way clear of the Kurgans and carry the Tzar back to the rest of the army, but it was already too late; the Tzar had taken a score
of wounds, each enough to be mortal. Only when the battle was won, did the Tzar slide from the back of Urskin and die. His faithful mount
roared in mourning for a full night before setting off into the bleak northlands and legend has it that to this day Urskin continues to hunt
down the creatures of Chaos that slew his master.

THE TIME OF TZARINA KATARIN ‐ THE SPRING DRIVING
From the icy fastness of her capital city of Kislev, the Ice Queen Katarin rules her land with an aloof
majesty. The daughter of the fiery and charismatic Tzar Boris, she ascended to the throne in 2517,
following her father's death in battle whilst leading an army north of the Lynsk into the Troll Country. She
is the latest in a long line of Tzarinas descended from the ancient Khan‐queens of the Gospodars, the
powerful tribal group that migrated west century ago, and became the dominant peoples of what was to
grow into the nation of Kislev.

A great wizard in her own right, her power is said to come from the land of Kislev itself, its icy soul and
bleak tundra giving her command of the elements and mastery of that form of wizardry known as Ice
Magic. Indeed, some whisper that she is in fact the living reincarnation of the very first Khan‐queen,
Miska, so complete is her grasp of this dangerous branch of magic. Upon her ascension to the throne of
Kislev, it is said that the Bokha Palaces have grown a new wing, half a mile long, made entirely from
glittering ice. This wondrous creation would be beyond all but the most powerful Ice Mages, and it is here
that Katarin remains for most of the time, granting audiences in an immense chamber of magically woven
hoarfrost. Some believe that she simply prefers the chill of these frozen corridors, while others say that it is
a display of her power to over‐awe potential enemies and foreign ambassadors.

Where Tzar Bokha was a man who preferred to lead from the front and was renowned for his courage and leadership, the Tzarina, in
keeping with her icy powers, is aloof and remote, preferring to work through agents and generals. Only under the direst circumstances does
the Tzarina Join her armies (known in Kislev as pulks), but when she does it is often upon a mighty steed whose flanks shimmer with
glittering ice crystals and whose breath is the winter wind, or riding an armoured sled, drawn by a team of identical beasts. On those rare
occasions when she leads her army in battle, the devotion lavished upon her is beyond that which might be expected of such a remote and
cool ruler. Her power over the elements is clear proof that the blood of the Khan‐queens flows in her veins. The Ungols of the north fear and
respect her as one of the ancient warrior witches from their oldest myths.

A time is coming that will see the Tzarina on many a battlefield before the year is out with marauding tribes of Kurgans and Kyazak push
south in ever‐increasing numbers. The sheer scale and ferocity of these raids has prompted the despatch of a number of contingents from
the Empire to aid Kislev‐ artillery from Nuln, mercenary companies from Tilea, Nordland halberdiers, knightly orders and all manner of
troops from all across the lands.

The writings of Anspracht of Nuln names this time as the 'Spring Driving', an innocuous term that encompasses a time of unremitting horror
and bloodshed. Masses of northern marauders are sweeping down into Kislev, butchering everything in their path. Many battles have
already been fought and the Kurgans have razed several towns and stanitsas: Choika, Zhedevka and others that appear on no maps. The
pulks have scattered into the oblast, though many Boyars are rallying their forces to fight once more, but as more and more marauders
drive south, it is certain that the days of blood are not yet over.

The kossars are the standing army of Kislev. They fight on foot with axe and bow and Unit Size

Contemporary kossars include both Ungols and Gospodars, and they have more than
their fair share of criminals, bored younger sons, and general troublemakers. This
structure means they have even worse off‐duty reputation than most soldiers. On the
other hand, they are extremely effective in battle, as they are trained constantly and
drilled in battlefield tactics and manoeuvres. This reputation is also widespread, so a
settlement facing imminent attack is always glad to see the kossars but soon becomes

Kislev Musket: The people of Kislev are slow to accept the use of black powder weapons in their armoury. Though their neighbours in
the Empire make prodigious use of all manner of firearms, there are hardliners amongst the Boyars that point to the heavy influence
of the Engineers in Empire life as a warning against turning from tradition. The Kislev Musket is one of the first such weapons to see
relatively common use in the pulks. It has a shorter range than the Empire handgun but is comparatively quick to reload and as such
can be fired on the move.

The Kislev Musket has a range of 18” and a Strength of 3 with the Armour Piercing special rule. If the model using it is also equipped
with a Halberd they may gain +1 to hit by remaining stationary and resting the musket on the crook of the Halberd – a tactic used
