Description[ | ]

Kislev’s history is blighted by many awful leaders throughout its past – and Tzar Boris is certainly not amongst them. A formidable figure in every regard, he is famed as an implacable warlord and a cultural reformer. His faith in the gods of Kislev, and the revival of the Cult of Ursun, has made him popular with the pious, while his militaristic nature gives him significant sway with the soldiery. Though the Great War of Chaos was outside of living memory, its scars remained visible, and Boris has long laboured to ready his beloved Motherland against the rising threat.

Introduction description[ | ]

"Kislev. The bulwark against the darkness. Yet the Motherland suffers, severed from its god.

If it is to survive, the nation needs its saviour once more. The folk of Kislev think Boris Bohka dead, but his body was claimed by the Motherland, and he has slept in ice ever since. Yet Ursun's pained roar will surely have started to rouse the Red Tzar.

I journey to him now. He lays at a sacred site hidden by the Great Orthodoxy, deep in the cold oblasts of Kislev. If anyone can save the Bear-God of Kislev, it is Ursun's High Priest... Raddi Bohka... Boris Ursus.

But even should I manage to wake him, I will need to make a strong case that he should listen to me."

  • Infantry spear halberd Halberd Infantry
  • Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Modifier icon armour piercingArmour-Piercing damage.
  • Armour-Piercing: The damage of Modifier icon armour piercingarmour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
  • Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a Modifier icon bonus vs largedamage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
