    Information Thread for Potential Empire Units

    Of the Human nations of the Old World, the most important by far is that of The Empire, forged by the warrior-king and ascended deity Sigmar, from the primitive Human tribes of barbarians who inhabited what became the lands of the southern Empire more than 2500 years ago. Although not as skilled in craftsmanship as the Dwarfs or in magic as the High Elves, the people of the Empire are not beholden by the limits of tradition to the same extent as the Dwarfs or High Elves and continue to progress culturally, technologically and magically. Having yet to succumb to any threat, external or internal, it is the faith, the sense of righteousness, and the unconquerable spirit of its citizens which gives the Empire its strength, as well as the ruthless efficiency of its military and religious orders.

    Knightly Orders
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The Empire has many Knightly Orders that are spread all over the place. Some of them are only found in certain territories, which would give mods a chance to make the different factions of the empire feel special. There is a great deal of information to be found on each in the links below, so if you are going to make units based on these, make sure you have a good read. Knights linked to specific Cults of the Empire are found in the section after this one.

They're an offshoot of the Reiksguard dedicated to destroying Chaos, but not through religious fanaticism, just by determination that Chaos must be made extinct. They don't fear Chaos at all. Their order is also allowed to use magic, but none of the Knights know it, they have accompanying wizards

    Knights of the Black Bear = Reputedly the most boisterous of all the Knightly Orders within the Empire, the Knights of the Black Bear keep a keep on the borders of Averland as well as a Chapterhouse in Averheim itself. The name of the Order comes from its mythical founder - a poor yet noble knight who wrestled a bear to rescue a lady. The myth is maintained and remembered in the tradition of the Grand Master wrestling a bear before every tournament.

However, there also dwell beasts of a more noble heritage that can be harnessed for war by the Knightly Orders of the Empire. Only Knights of the Inner Circle are found worthy to ride to battle on these more exotic and, frankly, ferocious mounts. Some such champions of the orders have long passed into legend - the Winter Wolves of Middenheim, and the Razorbeak-mounted Knights of the Shining Talon amongst them

    http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum...c,17589.0.html

    Knights of the Southern Sword = "That was who they were, Armin reflected. That was the legacy, the heritage that rested upon their shoulders and within their souls. For the sons of the Solland, the scarred frontier of Wissenland, there was no greater honour than to wear the red armour and the black surcoat, to be admitted into the almost sacred ranks of the Order of the Southern Sword. The knights could trace their history back to the very founding of Solland, and they had been there to the very end, when the orcs had come with fire and steel to lay waste to the province and slaughter its last lord, the Count Eldred. The order had endured their realm’s destruction, transferring their loyalty to the lords of Wissenland when that province absorbed the ruined carcass of Solland into its domains."
    Warhammer Novel: Runefang

    Knights of the Stag = These men form a relatively new order from Talabheim. Proud and regal, they consider themselves above the other knightly orders based in the city, and think of themselves as "the true sons of Talabheim"

    Knights of the Vengeful Sun = However, those few small Orders, such as the Knight's of Taal's Fury and the Knights of the Vengeful Sun, whose entire brotherhoods can take to war upon these monstrous beasts, have a roll of victory honours surpassed only by the most ancient of Knightly Orders

    The Osterknacht = "Once the Osterknacht had been the pride of the eastern Empire, rivalling the White Wolves of Middenheim and the Reiksguard who protected the princes of Altdorf. Now, as the long years of turmoil took their toll, corruption and nepotism had set in, and there were too few fighting soldiers left in the ranks of the Osterknacht. The mighty Osterknacht had once been the protectors of the Empire, watching the northern borders for foes, and acting as a bulwark against marauding bands from the mountains to the east. Now they were little more than an honour guard for a teenage count, kept in storage to be wheeled out to add a tarnished glitter to the decaying pomp and ceremony of holidays and parades."

    Cults of the Empire
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    There are many religious cults in the Empire, though Sigmar is the most commonly worshipped, the rest of the gods tend to get worshipped alongside him. There are some that are obviously secret and outlawed, such as the Chaos gods. For this list, I have ignored the various levels of Priests and Monks, as I would be here all day listing the different levels for the different Cults. I’ve noted down any interesting potential units and assigned them to each cult below.

    Cult of Sigmar
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The Cult of Sigmar is the main religion in The Empire and it worships the first Emperor of Men in that region of the world. As he is the most commonly worshipped god, and his cult the most ingratiated of the religions, there are many groups dedicated to furthering or honouring his cause and traits. Many Knightly Orders worship Sigmar openly.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cult_of_Sigmar

    Brotherhood of Steel = Elite unit linked to the Knights of Sigmar’s Blood
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...gmar%27s_Blood

    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cloaked_Brothers

    Hammers of Sigmar = Founded in Altdorf after the news of the destruction of Mordheim, they were sent to the city to restore order and keep the faithful alive through the turmoil. Armoured in burnished steel, wielding lethal hammers in honour of Sigmar. They are shaven headed, they are struggling to recover from the horrendous casualties during the Storm of Chaos.

    Hunters of Sigmar = A new knightly order dedicated to hunting down Chaos residing in Drakwald Forest, they were formed in the aftermath of the Storm of Chaos. They are expert woodsmen and trackers. They carry everything they may need with them, they are far from a glamorous knightly order as they have little time to care for their own equipment. They gather together in skirmish groups and are often thought to be ragtag bands of freelance knights

    http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum...c,17589.0.html

    Knights Griffon = They follow the Cult of Sigmar and are based both in Altdorf and Nuln. They are one of the most militaristic and well-trained Orders in the Empire.

    Knights of the Divine Sword = This is an “ancient temple order of Knights famous for their part in the defeat of Mannfred von Carstien at the Battle of Hel Fenn”. In that battle, the knights were led by the Grand Theogonist, Kurt III. References to the order coming to Hel Fen “all the way from Altdorf” suggest the order is located there although it might only be referring to the Grand Theologist. The Wight Lord, Gothard, known as the Undying Knight, was once a member of the Knights of the Divine Sword.
    http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum...c,17589.0.html

    Knights of the Fiery Heart = ”Destriers flashed by the templar. White, wearing red barding. In the saddle, Kastner saw armoured figures in gleaming silver plate. The lead rider carried a standard advertising the host as Knights of the Fiery Heart. Templars out of Altdorf and personal guardians of the Grand Theogonist and the Cathedral of Sigmar. In their plated fists the knights carried the long hafts of silver warhammers. Their tabards bore the striking red of Imperial crosses, the arrow-points of each end terminating in the shape of a heart. The visor sights of their crowned crusader helms were cut to accommodate a similar pattern.”

    Knights of the Jade Griffon = "The Order of the Jade Griffon is a templar order presumably devout to Sigmar. Aekold Helbrass, was a former member of the order who turned into a follower of Tzeench." Since they mention the Jade Griffon I assume they are linked to the Grand Theologist in some way, perhaps bodyguards?

    Scourge of Sigmar = Scourges of God are often highly charismatic, and gather other fanatics around them. In times of war, they are highly praised by the cult hierarchy, but when peace comes the priests prefer to move them along as quickly as possible, lest they find too many “enemies of God” within the towns of cities

    Templars of Sigmar = Although a Knightly Order, the mysterious group known simply as the Templars of Sigmar are a world away from the warriors in shinning armour of popular image, so much so that they rarely refer to themselves as knights. Instead they battle the foes of Sigmar from the shadows, dealing with subtle and insidious threats such as Chaos cults and reclusive necromancers. In particular they excel at battleing users of sorcery, as magic and trickery are tools often used by the servants of darkness. They often wear black clothes, large rimmed hates and black or brown capes. They favor the use of the pistol and sword but carry many types of weapons

    War Altar of Sigmar = A battle-altar that is not known for magical power but for it’s spiritual power. It is a wheeled chariot, decorated with many heraldries and talismans, bestowing awe and fervor on those who see it. It is always ridden by an Arch-Lector or the Grand Theogonist.

    https://i.imgur.com/JjFA4G4.png Warhammer 3rd Edition Armies Book

    Warrior Priests of Sigmar = They are a warrior-sect of Sigmarite Priest whose duty is not only to lead and inspire Imperial troops but to minister to their spiritual needs as well. They hunt down and smite creatures of the darkness such as daemons and undead, or even less malevolent beings like Forest Spirits. They wear mail or full plate underneath holy vestment, and wield mighty war hammers that were the favoured weapon of Sigmar. May ride warhorses.

    Witch Hunters = I know that they are in the game already, but in the lore they are often joined by a loyal retinue of people of all sorts; from licensed wizards to flagellants to Nuns of Shallya. Feel free to find unit ideas for Witch Hunters from the wiki page.

    Cult of Morr
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    One of the most widespread cults of the Old World. In a land filled with war, disease, and the horrors of Chaos, death is a constant companion, an inescapable end. Most Old Worlders reconcile their natural fears and come to accept death. In the Empire it is said that they have an unnatural fascination with it, incorporating the symbols of the God of the Dead in all things. Necromancers are the ultimate enemies of the Cult of Morr as they steal the dead from the realm of their god, they are often found near to Sylvania fighting the Undead. The members of their priesthood gather every 10 years in the city of Luccini.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cult_of_Morr

    Altar of Morr = Ridden by Arch Lector Davian during Volkmar's Crusade against the undead in Sylvania. Possibly the Morr-devoted version of the Altar of Sigmar ridden by Volkmar.
    https://i.imgur.com/4DFJZQS.png White Dwarf 408

    Andanti = ”The Andanti are a hereditary order of secretive Vampire Hunters who consider themselves chosen by Morr to be his holy warriors. Membership can be passed on through either sons or daughters, and there is only one Andanti per generation, so although they are all related, they have many names and live in many nations of the Old World.”
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Andanti

    Cultists of Morr = Priests of Morr dress in unornamented black robes, which have no indication of rank. A few even train ravens to sit on their shoulders and peer at passers-by. They tend to wear their hair very short, and most are clean-shaven. Augurs are likely exceptions, and can be slightly wild.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi..._Morr#Cultists

    Doomsayers = Wandering priests who will perform the last rites for those who would otherwise have no priest, such as treasure hunters killed by traps, villages destroyed by Beastmen and other such dangerous places. These typically travel with a party of adventurers and mercenaries.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi..._of_Morr#Sects

    Dreamwalkers = ”The Dreamwalkers exist to fight the Undead, defeat Necromancers, and destroy Necromantic texts, to prevent the appearance of more Necromancers in the future.”
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dreamwalkers

    Knights of the Black Rose = A knightly order with links to the death god Morr, they were founded by the Elector Count of Stirland during the Black Plague and their numbers have waned in recent years. Potentially a unit unique to Stirland? They use lances, swords, maces and kite shields.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Knigh...the_Black_Rose
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...the_Black_Rose

    Knights of the Raven = Another knightly order devoted to the death god Morr, there are some links between the Black Guard and this order. They are situated in Stirland on the border to Sylvania, where they hunt the undead.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Morr

    Knights of the Sacred Scythe = Well-versed knights in vampire hunting that wander the roads of eastern Stirland. They are in pitch-black armour and armed with a giant scythe. They stop Stirland from toppling into a land of blight and death.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi..._Sacred_Scythe

    Order of the Gate = An order of templars dedicated to the fight against undead.
    http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum...c,17589.0.html

    Pious Greatswords = Ulrich leads a regiment of Pious Greatswords that are foot templars of Morr. They march into battle in red robes and cowls and their banner depicts the reaper with a scythe and hourglass. Ulrich himself wears black robes marking him as an ordained priest of Morr.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...ire_Greatsword

    Scourge of Morr = Scourges of God are often highly charismatic, and gather other fanatics around them. In times of war, they are highly praised by the cult hierarchy, but when peace comes the priests prefer to move them along as quickly as possible, lest they find too many “enemies of God” within the towns of cities.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Scourge_of_God

    The Black Guard of Morr = Encased within black armour and deathly silent on the battlefield. They are trained in the use of ranged weapons as well as the more common swords and lances of the other knightly orders. They despise the Undead and often hunt them down, they are considered a defensive Order. They -always- fight encased in their armour so models should not have any bare heads showing, they wield great weapons on horseback and halberds on foot. On their webpage, an image of one carrying a crossbow can be found.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Knights_of_Morr
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Knights_of_Morr

    The Blessed of Morr = Members of this sect tend to be less public than many flagellants, although they do not keep their beliefs secret. They prefer to inflict constant pain on themselves during daily life, rather than to scourge themselves in public. Pretty much Morr Flagellants.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Blessed_of_Morr

    The Fellowship of the Shroud = An unofficial group working in Morr's name is the Fellowship of the Shroud, which is dedicated to actively destroying undead creatures and necromancers. This group, which is organised as a monastic order, is at odds with the less vigorous mainstream cult of Morr, and there is some friction between the two
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Morr

    Vampire Hunters = Vampire Hunters are driven souls who seek to destroy the Undead by any means necessary. There is often a dark story behind their passion for slaying the undead, to some it is like a curse
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire_Hunter

    War Altar of Morr = These are small portable altars carried onto the battlefield and guarded by units of religious fanatics. War altars usually contain or incorporate holy relics

    Cult of Taal and Rhya
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The Cult of Taal and Rhya is the sanctioned cult of Talabecland and is wildly popular in the northern and eastern parts of the empire. Talabheim is fervent in it’s worship of both Taal and Rhya. Taal represents power and majesty of nature, both the physical world of stone and wood and the primal urge of life. Rhya is a nurturer of the land. They dislike firearms and other works of science.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi..._Taal_and_Rhya

    Celebrants = The fanatics who call themselves Celebrants seek out remote stretches of wilderness to better commune with their deities Taal and Rhya. It’s not that they dislike cities, or other communities, but rather they believe they are closest to their patrons when in the heart of unspoilt wilderness. Essentially Taal Flagellants
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Celebrants

    Cultists of Taal and Rhya = Common for cultists to adorn their hair and dress with leaves, flowers, sticks and jewellery carved from natural, organic materials. They tend to wear the garb of a hunt.

    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...#Lesser_Orders

    Horned Hunters = The rites of Taal demand great physical, emotional, and mental fortitude for its practitioners. The Horned Hunters are deeply zealous and shun the city. Unlike Taal’s Chosen, the Horned Hunters give up much in the way of a material life. They shun normal clothing and wear animal skins, loincloths or less. They undergo extensive tattooing
    https://www.scribd.com/document/2472...r-in-Talabheim Warhammer Fantasy 2nd Edition RPG

    Kin of Taal = The largest sect of this cult, they are comprised of men who wish to embody aspects of masculinity at its basest level. They’re tasked with protecting “Men’s Secrets” and the mysteries of the wild. They spend a great deal of time consuming alcohol and using hallucinogenic substances. They lead men into the forest to host wild hunting parties
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...and_Rhya#Sects

    Knights of Taal’s Fury = However, those few small Orders, such as the Knight's of Taal's Fury, whose entire brotherhood take to war upon these monstrous beasts, have a roll of victory honours surpassed only by the most ancient of Knightly Orders

    Scourge of Taal and Rhya = Scourges of God are often highly charismatic, and gather other fanatics around them.

    Cult of Myrmidia
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Myrmidia is not really a god of the Empire, but has become commonly worshipped by soldiers of the Empire. Myrmidia has it's seat of power in Estalia but Tilea is also devout towards this goddess, so I’d assume these units could be shared with those factions. It is easily the largest organised cult in the Old World, she is the Goddess of War. The Cult has very limited influence in the Empire.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cult_of_Myrmidia

    Belomancers = Divination by the use of arrows, popular with warriors and followers of Myrmidia. Arrows are marked with the symbols of the Dark Arts and then fired.
    Witch Hunters Handbook

    Knights of Magritta = Since its establishment this academy has collected intelligence about Estalia and sent periodic reports to Luccini. In fact, the academy has many ties to Estalia, since it’s just across the border. Many caballeros have trained in Carcassonne and the Knights operate several mercenary bands in Estalia to support the academy

    Knights of the Righteous Spear = The Order of the Righteous Spear has several chapterhouses in the Empire, and although many chapters use different names, they are all part of the Righteous Spear order. Each chapter is typically tasked to protect one of the Eagle’s temples, although they also respond to honourable causes as and when they see fit. Because of this, the templars of the order are rarely seen outside of the area they protect

    Knights of the Starry Shield = No further information available
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/List_of_Knightly_Orders

    Knights of the Verdant Field = “The knights spend a great deal of time training in rather unusual methods of warfare, unafraid to experiment with ploys, tactics, and equipment other Knightly Orders might overlook or find dishonourable. Many of these Knights are even well-trained archers, a result which lead to the formation of the Knights of the Verdant Field

    Order of the Eagle = There, sharp-eyed priests run classes in strategy and warcraft, open to any who wish to attend. They also hold regular services for expatriate southerners (the specific day varies according to local customs, but is often every five days). These services—normally conducted in Classical, Estalian, or Tilean—are more interactive than most, with the priests actively encouraging others to get involved, asking questions of the congregation.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cult_of_Myrmidia

    Order of the Shield = This is a small order of Myrmidian templars, little present in the Empire
    http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum...c,17589.0.html

    Scourge of Myrmidia = Scourges of God are often highly charismatic, and gather other fanatics around them. In times of war, they are highly praised by the cult hierarchy, but when peace comes the priests prefer to move them along as quickly as possible, lest they find too many “enemies of God” within the towns of cities
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Scourge_of_God

    Shieldmaidens of Myrmidia = The command structure is also central to her teachings, but there are several legends where the Goddess or her Shieldmaidens chose to do what was right, not what they were ordered to. Because of this, although most Myrmidians stick rigidly to orders, they readily ignore them if it will result in a betrayal of their honour.

    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...midia#Cultists


    Cult of Verena
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The Cult of Verena is the official organisation dedicated to the Goddess of Justice. Although the Empire and the rest of the Old World face the war, plague, and calamity with disturbing regularity, it is the rule of law and ordered society that enables the Empire and other nations to not only survive, but thrive. Indeed, those who venerate Ulric, and to a lesser extent Sigmar, may be concerned with violence and warfare, but it is the philosophical doctrines of justice espoused by the priests of Verena that prevents the Empire from sliding into a complete tyranny. They are at odds with the Witch Hunters as they collect all written knowledge, while the Witch Hunters believe much should be burned. The Sword is -the- image Verenan’s follow, alongside scrolls.

    Cultists of the Sword = Similar to the Warriors of Ulric, a basic militia unit dedicated to the Goddess of Justice. Many members of the Cult carry swords, especially on formal occasions, they usually carry them as they symbolise the Sword of Justice. More devout members take to decorating costumes with fragments of lore or tattooing scripture onto their flesh
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...erena#Cultists

    Knights of the Scale and Sword = Members of the order are not merely guards, and can be called upon to actively wield the sword of justice. In this role they help enforce the judgments of Verenan priests, enacting justice at the end of a sword or battling against the agents of tyranny. In times of war or crusade they march along with the other knightly orders
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...word_and_Scale

    Knights of the Everlasting Light = A knightly order dedicated to Verena. As Verena’s faithful servants, they hold fairness and justice above all else, however they are a cursed Order. Their curse sees many knights able to survive countless, impossible battles but then dying in embarrassing, pathetic ways. They are blue and gold coloured, and their chapter house is in Altdorf primarily, but used to be in Ostermark.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...rlasting_Light

    Knights of the Scroll = They may also be dispatched to recover lost knowledge from dangerous locations, such as in the midst of wars. The knights are often enlisted by the Order of Mysteries to act as bodyguards on their expeditions, protecting the priests from danger. A Knight of the Scroll is instantly recognisable—every inch of their armour is covered in fluttering fragments of scroll or parchment, or quotes painted on their weapons and armour
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi..._of_the_Scroll

    Scourge of Verena = Scourges of God are often highly charismatic, and gather other fanatics around them. In times of war, they are highly praised by the cult hierarchy, but when peace comes the priests prefer to move them along as quickly as possible, lest they find too many “enemies of God” within the towns of cities
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Scourge_of_God

    Scrollbearers = The Scrollbearers fervently believe knowledge is power and actively crave it. They do so by collecting and hoarding as many scrolls, tomes and books as they can get their hands on.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...f_Verena#Sects

    Templars of Verena = These Knights are dedicated to the upholding of justice in the name of their patron goddess. The military arm of the order is called The Guardians
    http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum...c,17589.0.html

    The Defenders of Truth = The Defenders of Truth are the zealots of Verena. They are passionate advocates of the right to freedom of speech, the right to possess books on any subject, and the academic freedom to pursue research into any field. Witch Hunters think they are Chaos cultists in waiting, guilds see them as serious threats, and most lords think of them as dangerous agitators

    The Order of Mysteries = No further information available.

    Scourge of Manann = Scourges of God are often highly charismatic, and gather other fanatics around them.

    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Scourge_of_God

    Sons of Manann = Knightly order dedicated to Mannan and are the most numerous of the knightly orders of that god. They lack the wealth and prestige of the Knights Mariner. Marienburg views them as land-lubbers and lapdogs of the Empire. Their chapter houses are almost exclusively found in the Empire. Clad in turquoise and white-enamelled armour, using cutlasses and bucklers. They ride great white horses, they don’t use lances instead they wield great tridents
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sons_of_Manann

    Stormguard = The Stormguard are an order of priests who are devoted to hunting the followers of Stromfels, rooting out his cults and stopping their machinations.

    Cult of Ulric
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Ulric is the God of War, Winter and Wolves, and this cult is second only in power and influence to that of the Cult of Sigmar. Ulric embodies all of mankind’s courage, strength and power in the face of overwhelming odds. He is the brother of Taal. He is predominantly worshipped in the north of Empire; within the province of Nordland, Ostland and especially Middenland. The Priests are warriors and are more than capable of leading men into battle. The leader of the Cult is the Ar-Ulric.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cult_of_Ulric

    Brotherhood of the Axe = This order is made up of only the most devout Ulricans. It is unknown who controls this cult or what its goal is, but most believe it is trying to reserve the Cult of Ulric for only those of Teutogen descent. Another rumour states that the Ar-Ulric is taking orders from this mysterious group
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cult_of_Ulric

    Children of Ulric = They were happy for a brief time. She died bearing Ulric’s child and his howls of grief still ring on the northern wind. Their son was the first of the Shape-strong, the Were, those who can walk as both wolf and man. According to Alexei Dronal, a Knight of the White Wolf, it might carry the echo of truth

They are found in Middenland and Nordland. They only wield their distinctive two-handed hammers. They howl as they charge, sometimes causing fear. They do not wear helms.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...the_White_Wolf

    Knights of the Winter Throne = Lesser knightly order within the Cult of Ulric. They have monasteries scattered throughout Nordland, Ostland, Kislev and southern Norsca. These are controversial extremists who will burn food silos believing it is preparing the people for the eternal winter
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi..._Winter_Throne

    Scourge of Ulric = Scourges of God are often highly charismatic, and gather other fanatics around them.

    Templars of the White Wolf = These are the Templars, religious orders of knights

    The Winter Wolves of Middenheim = "In the heart of the Reikwald Forest there lurk many foul and fearsome creatures. However, there also dwell beasts of a more noble heritage that can be harnessed for war by the Knightly Orders of the Empire. Only Knights of the Inner Circle are found worthy to ride to battle on these more exotic and, frankly, ferocious mounts. Some such champions of the orders have long passed into legend - the Winter Wolves of Middenheim, and the Razorbeak-mounted Knights of the Shining Talon amongst them." I am not 100% certain what monster they were riding, but it wasn't a Demigryph!

They are known for seeking out whatever enemies of Ulric they can find and fighting them head-on. They are among the most-admired fanatics in the Empire. Female members are known but uncommon. They are prone to sudden violence. They are loosely organised. They are single-minded in their search for enemies to kill and attack directly and head-on. Perhaps they are impetuous?
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Wolf-Kin

    Cult of Shallya
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The Cult of Shallya is perhaps one of the most if not the most beloved and mutually respected religious Cult within the Old World. This is due in most part because Shallya, the sacred Goddess of Healing, Mercy, and Childbirth, is possibly the most beloved deity within the entire Pantheon. Many Old Worlders enter it at a temple of Shallya, or at least attended by one of the priestesses, and almost all need the services of the priestesses at some point in their lives. The refusal of the cult to become involved in politics has made it a popular target of charity from wealthy nobles and merchants, and the success of the priestesses in channelling that wealth to the needy is notable. Most temples of Shallya are simply decorated, with the money received going to the relief of pain, and those temples are everywhere, from the smallest village to the largest city.

    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Plague_Wardens

    Priestesses of Shallya = Priests wear white robes, often with a hood, with a heart embroidered over the left breast. On daily robes, this is embroidered in yellow, but most priests also have ceremonial robes, made of expensive fabric and with the heart embroidered in gold (Best quality)

Most of the under-priests were dead and the chief priest had fled to a hermitage somewhere in the marsh, abandoning his temple. In his absence, fanatics of the ancient religion had taken it upon themselves to act. They had broken down the doors of the temple and stolen the image of their god, that Bylorak might witness the devotion and faith of his disciples

    The Imperial Zoo
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    "The Emperor maintains a large park or zoological gardens which contains many wonders of the Old World. Cages of brass and iron have been fashioned by the Engineers School to contain the creatures on show. Magical spells placed by the Colleges help to bind some of the more dangerous creatures. The whole complex is enclosed by tall walls and guarded by a company of the Reiksguard.

    On holidays the great iron gates of the Emperor's Zoo are rolled back and the public allowed to enter and gape in wonder at the thousands of marvels inside, from Dragons, Hydra and Griffons to the unique and horrific mutations of Chaos Spawn. An important role of the several hundred staff is to hatch out the eggs of creatures taken by expeditions into the wastelands. These eggs are hatched and the chicks reared to produce the most spectacular creatures in the entire stable - the battle mounts of the Empire. Many must be raised to accept a particular rider, and it is accepted as tradition that the heads of the Colleges of Magic and certain other important Wizards should be granted the right to stable a fabulous beast of their own in the Emperor's Zoo."

    Colleges of Magic
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The colleges of Magic are situated in Altdorf and are the centre of all magical learning in The Empire, not only that they govern the use of magic within the realm, and will react to ignoble and false uses of it with drastic measures. There are eight schools of magic in this College, and numerous levels of magicians. I will cover all of these. Many magisters leave to travel the country, working as advisors or mentors, some travel to the lesser guilds and libraries associated with their orders. If any of these are added as units I’d suggest they are small in number with few “ammo” to use. I seriously recommend anyone who decides to make units for these different magical Orders reads up on every wiki posted on this section, there is detailed information that could make each unit type very different from one another, giving greater diversity and plus, you don’t want to bother with utterly unloreful units. There is also a Hochland College of Sorcery.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...leges_of_Magic
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Hergig

    Apprentice Wizards = Those in this early stage of apprenticeship are not allowed to cast spells without the permission of their mentor. In my mind, if this is turned into a unit it -must- have an officer that looks like a higher level of Wizard, to fit with the lore. These Apprentices are apprenticed to one of the Eight Colleges of Magic, and only one.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...rentice_Wizard

    Hedge Wizards = These are unlicensed, unsanctioned practitioners of magic that are usually self-taught. Often these are viewed as Witches and the Colleges of Magic hunt them down along with Witch Hunters. They can go under many names such as Wisdom, Elementalists and Healers, but typically they are best known as Wyrds. At best if they are found they are given a chance to be tested to join one of the eight orders of magic, or they will be executed or pacified. Small units makes sense, I doubt many would travel together in a band.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Hedge_Wizard

    Journeyman Wizards = Apprentices who show considerable talent and dedication, who are forced to journey the world for a period of several years and cannot return to their Master or College building. With that information in mind, I’d say that they shouldn’t be trainable in Altdorf. These can only practice one of the Eight Colleges of Magic.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...rneyman_Wizard

    Master Wizard = Otherwise known as an Imperial Magister, they are Journeyman Wizards who have been reaccepted back to their College and have completed their training. They are skilled practitioners of their magical Lore.
    http://warhammerfantasywikia.com/wiki/Master_Wizard

    Shadowmancer = ”But then cat-like shadows appeared out of nowhere and pounced on the Grey Seers troops. The man controlling the spectres was a Shadowmancer, a formidable Wizard of the Grey Order. Thanquol fought back with his magical might, but the Shadowmancer was far more powerful then previously imagined, and now has begun to kill off the Skaven by the droves, until finally he loomed over the now exhausted body of the Grey Seer.”

    Celestial Hurricanum = A large, complex, arcane Battle Altar created by the Celestial College to be a potent magical warmachine. It is bolted to a massive wheeled chariot pulled by Imperial Warhorses and watched and operated by Acolytes of the Celestial Patriarch. Has the rare chance that it will work perfectly and instead of summoning a storm of lightning bolts or a blizzard, will summon instead a fiery comet.

    Grand Astrolabe = An important celestial device in the service of the Celestial College.
    Storm of Magic: Razumov’s Tomb novel by Darius Hinks

    Thaumodivinator of the Colleges of Magic = A divining device? Nothing really known about its function.

    Throne of Darkness = A mount for an Amethyst Wizard Lord that is borne aloft by animated… things, either familiars, golems or statues. Could be adapted into a new arcane battle altar
    https://i.imgur.com/Kb9hKJ5.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Trinity of Fire = ”Meanwhile, high above the battlefield the Dragon-rider Orhbal Vipergut led a force of carrion-vulture winged Daemons, tainted harpies and leather-winged Manticore to darken the skies, to be met in rushing, screaming combat by white-winged griffon-riding knights and a trinity of fire wizards mounted atop a burning wheel of fire and coal-black iron.”

    Theoretical Magical War Machines
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    This section I felt needed to be noted after reading through the 8th Edition Army Book for The Empire. In that book are two magical war machines; the Luminark of Hysh and the Celestial Hurricanum. Both of these magical war machines are powered by items of magic called The Orbs of Sorcery. The Luminark uses an Orb of Hysh which is an orb that is infused with the essence of Light magic, while the Hurricanum uses an Orb of Ayzr and is infused with the essence of Heavens magic. Every Order of the Colleges of Magic has access to their own Orbs that are infused with their chosen wind of magic, and all are very powerful and very rare.

    What is interesting is that the Light Order will risk the safety of the Empire by using even a single one of the Orbs as they are used to lock away the nasty items and monsters in their dungeon, even they will use them in battle. What this means is that it is theoretically possible that each College of Magic has their own device which is powered by an Orb of Sorcery associated with their Wind, and if the most protective Orbs are shoved onto a Luminark, then other, less vital, Orbs could be as well. It's possible that the Trinty of Fire referenced in Tamurkhan: Throne of Chaos is one of these unknown magical war machines.

    For an enterprising modder this could mean that they could create their own magical war machines associated with one of the other six colleges of magic. Although their creation would not be 100% loreful, it would at least fit with the theme of the Colleges of Magic using their orbs of sorcery to wage war. Bear in mind that if you release a mod for a made-up magical war machine you will be open to criticism from those who adhere 100% to the lore.

    Gold Order = One of the Imperial Colleges of Magic. Gold Wizards are masters of metal, ores and alchemy. They are prone to smelting these into unruly liquids to aid their magical powers. They study the Lore of Metal. They research better formulas for black powder and safer alloys for the casting of cannons. They are by far the most capable crafters of magical weapons. They are affected by the magic they use, it turns their skin golden. They are very rich. Known in parts of their wiki-pages as Alchemists.

    Grey Order = One of the Imperial Colleges of Magic. Grey Wizards are mobile people who tend not to stay in one location for long, they avoid towns and cities as they have a mostly warranted reputation for being devious and dishonest. They study the Lore of Shadow. Their magic is illusion, but can also manipulate perception and emotion, they can quickly move from place to place. Rumoured to be an arcane spy network working to infiltrate underground organisations that plot against the Empire. Some call themselves Grey Guardians, some are referred to as Shadowmancers.

    Jade Order = One of the Imperial Colleges of Magic. They are masters of seasons and nature, as such their powers depend upon the season. They are reluctant to operate in the winter, but are prosperous in summer. There are few of these in Altdorf as they are prone to living wild. They use the Lore of Life. Their colours are predominantly green and turquoise, and they usually carry a sickle. Despite their appearances they are all highly skilled and capable fighters, prodigies or veterans of the arts in combat and war.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    I found these as I was trawling through the different factions, and Empire were listed as a faction capable of fielding these. I expect they'd require Sorceresses or Damsels.

    Air Elementals = Has a magical aura that protects it against weapons. It appears as a whirlwind which twists and turns its way across the battlefield. It’s from Citadel Journal.
    https://www.scribd.com/doc/223078336/Citadel-Journal-13
    http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...ile:C34-11.jpg

    Beast Elemental = If an incarnate elemental of beasts exists, then surely a beast elemental must as well.
    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Death Elementals = The Death Elemental is allied to the elementals of the earth, but represents the negative side of the force; that which reclaims all living things into the bosom of the earth, enabling continual rebirth from the soil.
    https://www.scribd.com/document/1421...on-Compilation
    http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...ile:C34-07.jpg

    Earth Elementals = Has a magical aura that protects it against weapons. It is a huge statue-like creature composed of rock with smouldering red eyes. It’s the strongest of all elementals but is painfully slow and cumbersome. It’s from Citadel Journal.

    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Incarnate Elemental of Air = A supremely powerful elemental of Air.
    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Incarnate Elemental of Beasts = Summoned through savage and secret rituals known to few humans outside the initiates of the Amber Order of Wizards — and dark lore has it the Bray Shamans of the unholy Chaos Beastmen herds — the Incarnate Elemental of Beasts is known in legend as the Bloody Hidesman, the Horned Man or the Faceless Hunter. It is a towering, half-human figure that embodies the ferocity and merciless hunger of the wild and contains within it the turbulent spirits of numberless predators, both animalistic and cruel.
    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Incarnate Elemental of Death = Those who call forth an Incarnate Elemental of Death risk bringing about their own untimely demise, for to summon such a fearsome creature is to invite death itself unto themselves. Eerily silent save for the whisperings of the grave that follow in its wake, the Incarnate Elemental of Death is a nightmarish apparition
    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Incarnate Elemental of Earth = A supremely powerful elemental of Earth.
    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Incarnate Elemental of Fire = Known in the lore and legend of the Empire as the Charred Ones, the Black Harvestmen, and Jack O’Cinders, stories speak of the wrath of the wizards of the Bright College during the brutally fratricidal wars that wracked the Empire in centuries past, where these conjured creatures were used wantonly to destroy entire towns and villages that had provoked the ire of one or other Imperial faction, laying swathes of the land to ash-strewn waste.

    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Incarnate Elemental of Water = A supremely powerful elemental of water.
    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Life Elementals = Life Elementals are allied to the Elementals of the Earth. Unlike those, however, they are tall and graceful, as a young tree or a beautiful woman. They are creatures of the growing earth, the motivating force that gives life to plants and plant spirits. As such, they are revered especially by the Elves (presumably High/Wood Elves).

    Light Elemental = An elemental of light.
    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Metal Elemental = An elemental of metal.
    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Plague Elementals = This is an elemental of the air. Its arrival can easily be foretold by a foul stench on the breeze, as of rotting flesh or garbage.
    https://www.scribd.com/document/1421...on-Compilation
    http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...ile:C34-12.jpg

    Sea Elemental = Some say that as the ages pass, Triton and his kind slowly become more like the seas they are lord over, turning wilder and less controllable until there is very little to distinguish them from the towering waves and raging storms of the ocean. The Sea Elementals, living mountains of blue-black water that rear out of the water in the barely recognisable shape of a huge man, are perhaps some stage of this process.
    http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...he_Sea_Box.jpg
    http://jake.ryft.org/warhammer/mowstuff/SOBRulebook.pdf

    Shadow Elemental = An elemental of the shadow.
    Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

    Water Elemental = Has a magical aura that protects it against weapons. They take the form of a wave or column of water, they can move across the earth but their home is the water. They’re malevolent spirits with wild and uncontrollable anger. The older it is, the angrier. It’s from Citadel Journal.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Experimental Weapons
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    There are colleges of Engineers across the Empire, but most notably and famous are the ones found in Altdorf and Nuln, where the craziest and most widely used weapons both have been developped. Some of these are ingame already, such as the Steam Tanks and Repeater Guns. There are many other experimental weapons out there though. The items are at best quirky yet outright dangerous given the chance, but at their worst they are a total failure and highly dangerous to the users. Even the most reliable experimental weaponry is given to trust individuals, and they are rare to find, some exceptionally so.

    Automatychs = Experimental war machines that come in a whole variety of shapes, sizes and abilities
    https://i.imgur.com/wgtLMyZ.jpg Warhammer Concept Art
    https://i.imgur.com/LIcgv1u.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Automatych Bomb Thrower = An experimental machine that can throw bombs and fire a series of arquebus at nearby enemies
    https://i.imgur.com/jEqacIJ.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Clockwork Firebomb Launcher = An experiment war machine
    https://i.imgur.com/mzdYssT.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Clockwork Gunner = An experimental war machine
    https://i.imgur.com/mzdYssT.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Conflagrator = An experimental weapon
    https://i.imgur.com/EeUP18f.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Eight-Barrelled Mortar = An experimental mortar
    https://i.imgur.com/jEqacIJ.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Firethrower = An experimental flamethrower artillery piece
    https://i.imgur.com/mzdYssT.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Grenade Launching Blunderbuss = Otherwise known as “Pfielmann’s Incendiary Projector of Explosive Misfortune”. Developed by taking the gamekeepers blunderbuss and marrying it to technologies of pistons and explosives. It was designed to knock out armoured enemy knights. Likely a volatile invention, dangerous to wielder, friend and foe alike. Rare, I expect.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Experimental_weapon

    Hochland Long Rifle = Otherwise known as “Leon Todmeister’s Fantabulously Far-reaching Harquebus of Unforseeable and Unpercieved Bereavement”. Developed from the long rifles used by hunters of Hochland. They are highly accurate and have a range unsurpassed by most other handguns. It is often used by marksmen as a sniper rifle, where it is effective at neutralising targets from afar.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Hochland_long_rifle

    Mechanical Steed = Otherwise known as “Meikle’s Equine Effigy of Dynamic Locomotion”. Built by the first woman reluctantly admitted to the college of Engineers, this masterful contraption has the appearance of a horse (rather steely and gear laden). It can store electrical energy inside that is powerful enough to roast a foe alive.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Experimental_weapon

    Pigeon Bombs = Otherwise known as “Herstel-Wenckler Pigeon Bomb”. Engineers have succeeded in training a cadre of homing pigeons to fly towards the oncoming foe. Each bird is fitted with a bomb on a light harness, designed to fall away from the bird when the fuse burns to a certain point.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...mental_Weapons

    Repeater Handgun = Otherwise known as “Von Meinkopt’s Whirling Cavalcade of Death”. A handgun with 6 rotating barrels. A recent innovation, a deadly weapon with a high rate of fire.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Repeater_handgun

    Repeater Pistol = Otherwise known as “Von Meinkopt’s Micro-mainspring of Multitudinous Precipitation of Pernicous Lead”. A fast firing, effective side armour that is similar to the Repeater Handgun, but has 4-6 barrels.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Experimental_weapon

    The Danse Macabre Automatic Pulpit = An experimental machine built by the College of Engineers
    https://i.imgur.com/wXYqQpN.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Ulric's Thunder = I've been looking for this for awhile, this is the weapon that defended Middenheim during the Storm of Chaos, it's the most immense weapon I've seen in Warhammer so far, and it's awesome! A gigantic cannon that is so large it required a giant to load it. Enjoy.
    http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/...20121213134935

    War Wagon = Although the Empire War Wagon is obsolete, it is still armed to the teeth with a variety of experimental weapons carried by the engineers riding on it. These include Hochland Long Rifles, Blunderbusses, Repeater Handguns and Pistols. They have also been known to install a piece of artillery into its tower. Some War Wagons are crewed by archers, crossbowmen or merely handgunners. Perhaps limit the experimental version of this to Altdorf and Nuln, while the archer/crossbow/handgun variety is for the other provinces.

    https://i.imgur.com/quFnW6d.png

    Iron-Colossus of Nuln = All that is known is that it fell over onto an imperial regiment and squished it. Judging by the chapter it is from and the name, we can assume it was an iron-clad automaton, a very large one, that fell over.
    https://i.imgur.com/KyGWAsJ.png

    Leon Brachwurster's Mechanical Menagerie = Nothing known about this beyond this one image. Appears to have a number of different monsters and creatures made out of mechanical devices. Could work for a special unit.
    https://i.imgur.com/8EQ15c8.png


    Siege Train
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    "The only realistic solution to breaking massive fortifications is to employ a formidable siege train which includes siege engines of gigantic proportions capable of smashing down the strongest walls, gates and towers quickly. These machines are so huge that they cannot easily be constructed in the field. Instead, they must be manufactured in advance, often in pre-fabricated sections which can be transported in wagons, on ships, or stored until needed in fortresses."
    https://i.imgur.com/SZ5PSHZ.png White Dwarf 155

    The Giant Battering Ram = "The giant battering ram is cut from the tallest and strongest tree in the realm and shod with a massive iron or bronze head. Hundreds of men are needed to pull the ropes that swing the ram to strike a gate or fortress wall. One blow will smash great oak doors like matchwood or crumbles masonry into powder, collapsing towers and walls like sand castles. The hides of a thousand beasts form its canopy, protecting the operators from the arrows of the defenders."
    https://i.imgur.com/SZ5PSHZ.png White Dwarf 155

    The Great Cannon = "The great cannon is a cannon so big that the ruler will have to make special measures to get hold of enough metal to make it. All the bells in the realm or all the cannons of the fleet may have to be melted down to provide enough bronze to cast a single great cannon. It is so monstrous that hundreds of oxen are required to pull it."
    https://i.imgur.com/SZ5PSHZ.png White Dwarf 155

    The Monstrous Stone Thrower = "This is a catapult operated by a massive counterweight which swings a long shaft and hurls a boulder a very great distance. The huge boulder will smash any ramparts that it strikes. The catapult is made of thick timbers to withstand the stress and strain, but the parts can be transported individually on wagons and are lashed togehter into a catapult in the siege lines."
    https://i.imgur.com/SZ5PSHZ.png White Dwarf 155

    The Siege Tower = "Hundreds of wagons are required to carry the pre-fabricated timbers that make up the siege tower, and when these are put together the siege tower will be raised higher than any known wall. Bolt throwers shoot out of port holes on each of its many levels. A drawbridge or spiked corvus is ready on the top of the tower to be dropped on the enemy battlements allowing attackers to swarm across, constantly reinforced by a steam stream of soldiers."
    https://i.imgur.com/SZ5PSHZ.png White Dwarf 155


    Steam Tank Variants
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Steam Tanks are already in the game and as such do not need to be added, however there are some special variants of this, of which there is only one of each in existence (in the lore, there are only 8 Steam Tanks left of the original 12; these four and the Kathleen, as well as four others, the Skaven have one of the lost tanks, and 3 others were destroyed). If these were added, I’d personally want it so there is a unit cap of 1 for each.

    Alter Kamerad = Steam tank that has a hull-mounted, steam-operated Hellblaster Volley Gun and a turret mounted Steam Gun.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/...r_Kammerad.JPG

    Ancient Fury = "Grandmaster Odo Copperfinger of the Order of the Crystal Lance had mustered not only his entire order but also ten score regiments of well-drilled state troops, the splendidly-moustached Carroburg Greatswords, and the venerble SteamTank Ancient Fury, known as Old Rustbucket to the soldiery... Then sounded Ancient Fury's twin great cannons, and trundling forward the Steam Tank ploughed headlong into the section of the citadel already weakened by its cannonade."
    Warhammer 8th Edition Rulebook

    Conqueror = "The most common weapons fitting for the Steam Tank is the unusual steam powered battle-cannon, which was fitted on one of the early machines, the Conqueror. This cannon is by necessity smaller than the standard great cannons often fielded by armies of the Empire, although its manoeuvrability and survivability make up for this. This was the closest design to Leonardo's original plan, although an additional turret-mounted steam gun has become almost standard."

    Deliverance = The history of this is found in White Dwarf Issue 263. It has been retrofitted numerous times with different armaments, these include; a hell blaster volley cannon, a liquid flame-thrower inspired by the dwarf flame cannon, a mortar, a great cannon, a steam gun. It has heavier armour than most steam tanks.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Deliverance

    Implacable = "Other Steam Tank innovations have included the Implacable, a Steam Tank mounting an explosive shell-lobbing mortar. As a mobile and highly survivable artillery piece, the Implacable has proved successful and reliable. The pair of Engineer gunners that have worked on the Implacable since it was modified to hold the mortar have become particularly adept at aiming the war-machine while on the move. The Implacable has become particularly feared by the Orc tribes of the Black Mountains, who regard it as some kind of immortal deity of the Empire."

    “Kathleen” Soup Tank = A miniature version of the steam tank, probably a prototype crewed by Halflings
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:..._Katthleen.jpg

    Sigmar’s Hammer = "Another of the weapon variations is the Sigmar's Hammer, a Steam Tank that has had all weapons stripped from its hull, and has had a prow reinforced for ramming. This was at first a necessary innovation. The Steam Tank was involved in an ongoing conflict to the north of the Empire, where ammunition was short, and so the weapons were temporarily removed from its hull. The design proved highly effective, powering across the ice covered tundra and scattering raiding Marauders."

    Unfehlbar = Open-topped, mounting a mortar and two swivel guns.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/..._Unfehlbar.JPG

    Von Zeppel = "The most unusual design variation comes in the form of the Steam Tank known as the Von Zeppel, named after its famed creator. This land-ship mounts a raised fighting platform on its hull, from where a fighting crew of young engineers can be conveyed into battle wielding a myriad array of experimental weaponry, including modified versions of repeater handguns and the renowned Hochland long rifle. Chief Engineer von Zeppel pioneered this creation, designing its predecessor, the War Wagon, by hauling a raised fighting platform into battle, pulled by armoured war-horses. It was a natural progression for von Zeppel to adapt his original design to be mounted atop the Steam Tank."

    Artillery
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Most artillery pieces of the Empire are already in the game, this is the only one remaining that I could find and it may not even be another piece of artillery.

    Helblaster Wagon = The Helblaster Wagon is the mastermind of one of the lesser known Imperial Engineers; Luigi Giovanni. It’s basically a Helblaster Volley Cannon on a wagon, its a set of rules from the old Citadel Journal.
    https://www.scribd.com/doc/222983035/Citadel-Journal-01

    Helstorm Rocket Battery (Caltrops) = The war machine firing rockets holding caltrops that spread over the battlefield

    Helstorm Rocket Battery (Incendiary) = The war machine using incendary ammo
    https://i.imgur.com/fD6Zycs.jpg Warhammer Concept Art

    Mootland Hot Pot = An old unit, the halflings would fire a super-heated stew at the enemy. It’s strange, I know, but it was a real unit and did have a model. Unfortunately I couldn’t find it on the wiki, despite the fact I used to own the model! One of the models looked like the image below.
    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:HalflingCook.png

    Mootland Reaper = Mostly used for cutting wheat but just as good for cutting off heads, has a crew of three halflings and is pulled by two battle rams. It’s from Citadel Journal.
    https://www.scribd.com/doc/224025031/Citadel-Journal-36

    Mootland Shearer = Mostly used for cutting wheat, but just as good for cutting off heads, has a crew of two halflings and pulled by two battle rams. It’s from Citadel Journal. Its the smaller version of the Reaper.
    https://www.scribd.com/doc/224025031/Citadel-Journal-36

    Pontoon Mortars = ”Floating pontoon forts had made their way down from the city’s river gates, their armoured decks crammed with mortars and archers bearing the green and black livery of the River Wardenry.”
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...FktWlFnTkNnZ28 Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos

    Pontoon Swivel Guns = ”Enraged Marauders that attempted to counter attack were quickly dealt with as they attempted to swim the wide, fast flowing Reik to reach the enemy or were quickly swept away, and even the frightening spectacle of a war mammoth attempting to wade toward the pontoons was cut short as every short fused mortar shell, swivel gun and volley after volley of arrows rained down on the mighty beast and it soon sank beneath the thrashing black waters.”
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...FktWlFnTkNnZ28 Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos

    Reiks Kanone Batterien = The first province to use cannon was Nuln, where the Imperial School of Gunnery was subsequently established and the Imperial Corps of Artillery is based.
    https://i.imgur.com/1cPLYkS.jpg 3rd Ed. Armies Book

    Siege Bombard = It’s either an Empire Mortar or an alternate version of one. From Warmaster.

    Specialist Ammunition
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Half-Charge = ”The crew decides to employ a smaller charge of powder to reduce the chances of a destructive malfunction. Their shots will be less effective, but they are almost sure of not blowing up their cannon.” For Cannons.
    https://i.imgur.com/ziqu8Q9.png White Dwarf Issue 239

    Grapeshot = ”Seeing the enemy are a bit too close for comfort, the crew loads a deadly canister full of copper coins, nails, etc…” For Cannons.
    https://i.imgur.com/ziqu8Q9.png White Dwarf Issue 239

    Chained Shot = ”Invented for naval warfare, this ammunition consists of two cannonballs linked by a chain, capable of inflicting horrible damage on massed regiments of troops as well as on large creatures.” For cannons.

    Multiple Rocks/Shrapnel = ”These projectiles split/explode during their descending trajectory, showering the unfortunate troops below with a terrible rain of death.” Catapults and Mortars.
    https://i.imgur.com/ziqu8Q9.png White Dwarf Issue 239

    Incendiary = ”These missiles are made of a concoction of highly flammable liquids that ignite on impact and transform the area hit into a blazing inferno.” Catapults and Mortars.
    https://i.imgur.com/7oWXQ7D.png White Dwarf Issue 239

    https://i.imgur.com/7oWXQ7D.png White Dwarf Issue 239

    Torinoko Grenades = "These are small grenades used by the Ninja assassins of Nippon. A torinoko grenade is made from an egg shell and is filled with explosives or a flash-powder. Another version is the firecracker, which confuses the enemy as it jumpes explosively around its feet." There are three versions of these; weak explosive grenades, flash grenades and firecracker grenades.

    Man O' War Navy
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Greatship = Developed in response to the Bretonnian Galleon, the mighty Greatship is a floating arsenal bristling with guns and packed with heavily armed Imperial soldiers. It has a thunderous broadside of three batteries of cannon as well as forward and rear-firing guns.
    http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...atship_Box.jpg
    http://jake.ryft.org/warhammer/mowstuff/MOWrulebook.pdf

    Griffon Rider = The Griffon Riders are an ancient Order of Knights, who centuries ago brought back the first clutch of six griffon eggs from the Southlands as tribute for their Emperor. These six eggs proved to be worth more than a dozen Greatships filled with gold; from them the lineage of all Imperial Griffons can be traced down through the years.

    http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat..._Rider_Box.jpg
    http://jake.ryft.org/warhammer/mowstuff/SOBRulebook.pdf

    Hellhammer = The Hell-hammer is a somewhat peculiar adaptation of the highly successful Imperial Wargalley, which is one of the finest ships afloat. The Hell-Hammer takes this sturdy, well-proven design and adds one important modification; an immense gun mounted on its main deck.
    http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...hammer_Box.jpg
    http://jake.ryft.org/warhammer/mowstuff/SOBRulebook.pdf

    Ironfist = The Ironfist is the second Imperial adaptation of the trusty Wargalley. Most if its hull is taken up with a huge mortar, whose squat muzzle points ominously skyward. Ironfists don’t often venture far out to sea as their principal role is the demolition of enemy coastal towns.
    http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...st_Release.jpg
    http://jake.ryft.org/warhammer/mowstuff/SOBRulebook.pdf

    Ironfist Mortar = A huge mortar.
    http://jake.ryft.org/warhammer/mowstuff/SOBRulebook.pdf

    Wargalley = They are swift, lightly armed ramships used for patrolling the river Reik and the Empire’s dangerous coasts. Their crews are generally wild, free spirited adventurers ever ready to risk all in furious attacks against the odds.
    http://www.collecting-citadel-miniat...galley_Box.jpg
    http://jake.ryft.org/warhammer/mowstuff/MOWrulebook.pdf

    Wargalley Seamen = Their crews are generally wild, free spirited adventurers ever ready to risk all in furious attacks against the odds.
    http://jake.ryft.org/warhammer/mowstuff/MOWrulebook.pdf

    Wolfship = The sleek Wolfship is the most powerful Imperial ship of the line. Great batteries of cannon jut from its high forecastle, overlooking the titanic ram with which it spears its foes. Powered by the wind and dedicated oarsmen selected from the strongest soldiers, it seeks out the Empire’s seaborne foes.

    Pit Fighters
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    All across the Empire there are gladiatorial fighting pits where tough warriors are forced to take up arms against each other in brutal hand-to-hand fighting, often to deal, for the bloodthirsty pleasures of the bay crowd.

    Pit Fighters (Chaos Style) = Pit Fighters are close combat specialists armed with a variety of weapons and armour. Usually they are fairly heavily armoured and equipped with sword and shield, though sometimes will use great weapons. Use helmet, dagger, flail, shield, light armour.
    http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 21

    Pit Fighters (Empire Style) = Pit Fighters are close combat specialists armed with a variety of weapons and armour. Usually they are fairly heavily armoured and equipped with sword and shield, though sometimes will use great weapons. Helmet, dagger, great weapons and light armour.

    Pit Fighters (Undead Style) = Pit Fighters are close combat specialists armed with a variety of weapons and armour. Usually they are fairly heavily armoured and equipped with sword and shield, though sometimes will use great weapons. Use helmet, dagger, spiked gauntlet and sword.
    http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 21

    Pit King = The Pit King is the leader of the warband. He is a very renowned warrior; a spectacular fighter used to pleasing the baying crowd with his martial display and bloody triumphs.
    http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 21

    Pit Ogres = It is unsurprising that they are one of the most brutal and feared of all pit fighters. These massive, savage fighters are often called upon to fight such fearsome beasts as captured trolls in some of the most incredible bouts held at the pits.
    http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 21

    Pit Veterans = They are veterans who carry out the orders of the Pit King with ruthless efficiency. These men are held together with iron-hard discipline and always keep a watchful eye on the Pit King’s back.
    http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 21

    Pursuers = Pursuers are a special martial type of pit fighter often used for ‘warm-up fights’ before the main show. These men are usually lightly armed with spears, nets and javelins with which they harry their enemies in a hit and run style of warfare. This style of fighting dates back to ancient times in Tilea when gladiators, as they were known in the Tilean tongue, would fight in massive stone arenas to huge crowds.
    http://www.lustria-online.com/thread...-issues.15973/ Town Cryer Issue 21

    Pursuers (Skink Style) = Same as above, instead they use helmet, trident, javelins.

    Other Inhabitants of The Empire
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Altdorf Expatriate Dwarves = Altdorf has a large Dwarf population; not only engineers but merchants, and members of most other branches of society. They fight in their own units rather than being recruited into state regiments. They will wear uniforms of their own design and favour imperial fashions over the traditional clothing and armour of Dwarves. Check the School of Engineers section of the wiki page.

    Middenheim Expatriate Dwarves = Likely a very similar unit to Altdorf Dwarves, but different colour design and maybe different weapons. Likely wouldn’t have any gunpowder weapons/experimental weapons as they are not near to the School of Engineers.

    Mountain Clansmen of the Vaults = "The highlands where the Grey Mountains and the Worlds Edge Mountains meet are known as the Vaults. They are inhabited by fierce mountain clans who guard the few passes and extort a heavy toll from merchants travelling between Tilea and the Empire. These mountain people sometimes travel down into Reikland to join the Empire's armies."

    Norse Expatriate Berserkers = Same as above.
    Norse Expatriate Hunters = Same as above.

    Special and Named Characters

    Here is contained a full list of every possible Legendary Lord or Legendary Hero that I could find for the Empire, excluding those who are long dead such as Magnus the Pious or Sigmar. I have split them into different categories for each Empire Faction and whether they suit being Lords or Heroes, so it is easier to know which they are best suited to being added to, if someone wished to add them to the game. Without further ado, here we go.

    The Grand County of Averland
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Faction Leader
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Mad Count Marius Lietdorf, Elector Count of Averland = Marius Leitdorf, known most infamously as the Mad Count of Averland, is the late Elector Count of Averland and is counted one of the Empire's bravest if not most insane Generals within the Empire. Not many men can be said to have waged wars against forests, swarms of bees and half-imagined fishmen, so it is not without good reason that Marius Leitdorf is known as the Mad Count.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Marius_Leitdorf
    https://i.imgur.com/gkN7Zfp.png White Dwarf 331


    Lords
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Baron Von Schreck of Averland = ”Baron von Schreck is a ruthlessly effective general, and his army has performed well on the battlefields of Albion. Only having been on Albion for a few weeks, he has already campaigned successfully against several savage Beastman warbands, accomplishing a number of outstanding victories by outmanoeuvring the brutish creatures.”
    http://web.archive.org/web/200212270...vonschreck.htm

    Christian Leitdorf = "Christian Leitdorf is a general of the Empire, and led an army in a campaign into the Chaos Wastes."
    https://i.imgur.com/uFsojMd.png White Dwarf 351

    Hans Leitdorf, Grand Master of Sigmar’s Blood = Hans Leitdorf, brother of deceased Marius Leitdorf, is the current Grand Master of Knights of Sigmar's Blood. Though he had a claim on the title of Elector Count of Averland, he decided his position in order to be of greater importance.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Hans_Leitdorf

    Jurgen von Kopf = ”He held his shoulders regally aloft, and swept down the steps, a plain black half-cape flowing behind him. He stood six-foot-three, with a wide chest, narrow hips, and long, sinewy legs. He wore a black shirt beneath a black, collared coat, chased with silver braid and buttons. His trousers were black, his boots were black, and his buckles silver. With his deep, wide jaw and pockmarked skin, his face reminded Angelika of a ship’s prow, pitted by generations of barnacles. Slitted eyes hid behind suspicious ridges of bone. Deep creases ran up his cheeks from just above his jaw. His hands were large—the size of paddles; he took a prolonged moment to ostentatiously crack his blocky knuckles.”
    Honour of the Grave by Robin D. Laws - Chapter 10

    Lord Osthammer, Graf of Averbad and Nord Wissen = Mentioned in the Skarsnik novel in passing. Responsible for Doktor Wollendorp and Captain Meisen's investigation into the greenskins as he has holdings in the Border Princes.

    Champions
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Captain Aldous Meisen of the Scarlet Blades = "He was a singularly ugly man, huge and bullish with a squashed nose and a scar across his forehead. He was not yet into his thirties, yet already his hair was thinning, and Meisen had taken to wearing it cropped close to the skull to hide the fact."

    Doktor Wollendorp = A character from the Skarsnik novel. Has an obsession about, and dread of, the Greenskins, and collects great amounts of information on them to study them so they may be defeated. He is most interested in their habits and history, and is a doctor of philosophy.

    Faction Leader
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Aldebrad Ludenhof, Elector Count of Hochland = "A rather unimposing figure, being very tall and thin, the count was surprisingly strong. He held his court at his palace located near Hergig, Hochland's capital at the time. He had a veritable passion for hunting and hawking, to such an extent that he regularly carried one of his prize hawks into battle."

    http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Hochland

    Count Ulric Ludenhof = Leads a force containing many regiments of Knights, including Knights of the Golden Lion. He could be a Grandmaster, perhaps of a local Hochland Knightly Order?

    Jovi Sunscryer = The most experienced of the White Wizards of Templehof is Jovi Sunscryer, an eccentric scholar who is never happier than when his bald pate gleams in the glow of natural light.

He had a religious experience, a vision that told him he had been spared for a reason, to devote himself to the service of Morr. Leo was never a learned man, so he serves Morr the best way he can: as a soldier.

    Lords
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Algard = The legends of Algard, the renowned Grey Wizard, are rife with half truths and fictitious tales, not surprising perhaps, for a practitioner of the Lore of Shadow. However, one enduring myth turned out to be true--Algard had achieved his collection of eldritch tomes into a fastness so well protected that it no longer truly existed on the mortal plane.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Algard

    Commandant Otto Kross = Otto Kross was a bully and a tyrant, his grubby soul calloused by nearly thirty years' military service. He regarded command of Heldenhame's defences as a rightful reward for his loyalty, and didn't care who knew it.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Otto_Kross

    Dieter Vogr, Magister Lord of the Jade Order = Currently advises the Talabheim Parliament and works closely with the Priests of Taal. Co-ordinates Magister reinforcements for the militia.
    https://www.scribd.com/document/2472...r-in-Talabheim Warhammer Fantasy 2nd Edition RPG

    General Clemenz Spitzaner = ”He was an officer on my staff that I could never quite shake loose. Unfortunately, his family had money and I was obliged to keep him around. A competent enough soldier, but there is no humility to the man, no sense that he owes it to his soldiers to try and bring as many of them back alive as he can. Show him a battle, and he will hurl men at it until it is won, regardless of the cost.”
    Ursun’s Teeth by Graham McNeill - Chapter 6

    Katrinelya, Hierarch of the Cult of Rhya = Katrinelya, the Hierarch of Rhya, possesses a thin form and kind face, and is by far the most outspoken and down-to-earth of the two. She spends her time wandering between the tiny hamlets, farming communities, and Orchards of the Reikwald, lending aid to those in need.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi...and_Katrinelya

    Naiv, Hierarch of the Cult of Taal = Wise Niav is withdrawn, almost distant, and pays little heed to the affairs of man and Empire. His immensely full beard hides eyes that glimmer with both wisdom and some deep insight into the mysteries of the wilds.

    Odo Copperfinger, Grandmaster of the Crystal Lance = "Grand Master Odo Copperfinger of the Order of the Crystal Lance had mustered not only his entire order but also ten score regiments of well-drilled troops.

Grand Master Copperfinger had barely finished booming his ultimatum to the Chaos-worshipping Vethric when all hell broke loose." Appear to be linked to Talabecland.
    Warhammer 8th Edition Rulebook

    Reiksmarshal Wilhelm Hague of Talabecland = "A horn sounded at the gates of the city, several more answered outside the walls. Von Klaus turned to see a column of halberdiers enter the town in the colours of Talabecland. At their head rode a stern-faced man wearing a monocle and dressed in expensive cloth."

    Seneschal Rudolph Weskar = Rudolph Weskar was Leitdorf's second-in-command. He had been severely wounded in the greenskin assault on Heldenhame, but the care he received from the Sisters of Shallya, and his own intractable stubbornness saw him pull through. Weskar was something of a tyrant to those under his command, but his abruptness was tempered by moments of kindness and wisdom.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Rudolph_Weskar

    Siegfried Trappenfeld, Grand Master of the Blazing Sun = ”The Order was formerly based in the middle of the Empire, within the heartland of Talabecland, but due to their popularity, they have begun to rapidly gain support and influence in the south, and in these parts, the Order holds a great deal of political power amongst the nobility.”

    Ulrika Grunfrau, Grandmaster of the Longshanks = ”The current leader of the Longshanks, she took charge of the order following the previous leader’s death hunting a Beastlord through the forests of the northern Empire. Ulrika was keen to follow in her predecessor’s footsteps, and has led many raids into the Drakwald and Forest of Shadows against tribes of Beastmen and Mutants, ridding their presence from countless shrines and sacred places of the Gods.”
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Ulrika_Grunfrau

    Wolfmar von Krutz, High Priest of Talabheim = That night, the high priest is said to have met with Valten. No-one knows what passed between the two men, but von Krutz chose not to ride north to Middenheim to relieve the siege, which had been his original plan. Instead, he returned to his temple, feverishly claiming that Sigmar had been reborn, and that all Ulricans should watch for the "Mark of Unification."

    Adric Greenwood, Shapeshifter = ”The hermit known to Talabheim’s shanty towns as Adric Greenwood was a powerful shapeshifter. Though he spent much of his time sitting in trees in a state of meditative stupor, when roused to anger by those who would harm his habitat he would take the form of a manticore or chimera and rip the offenders to shreds.”
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Adric_Greenwood

    Captain Reban Greiss = Though his grumpy demeanour and no-nonsense approach won him few friends during his rise through the ranks of the Talabheim military, it only enhanced his reputation as an effective commander.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Reban_Greiss

    Captain Rudolf Nierhaus of the High Watch = The Captain is an average-sized man, but his penetrating blue-grey gaze can make any but the strongest willed look away and feel very small indeed. His light blond hair is thinning. He is a man of principle.

    https://i.imgur.com/kqPhwYm.png

    Captain Wendel Volker = Commandant Kross resented his presence, as he knew that Volker's rank had been acquired through the outlaying of gold, rather than honest service. Other captains scarcely thought more of Volker, and mocked the rigour with which he pursued his fencing lessons, and how earnestly he treated the men under his command. By contrast, the rank and file were staunchly obedient to Volker's orders.
    http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Wendel_Volker

    Engineer Commander von Streihof = Taking his chance, the rogue engineer von Streihof stole the contraption and drove it through the refugee crowds at the city’s gate to join the defiant armies massing on the plains outside.

    Joerg Hafner = "The current leader of Taal's Chosen is Joerg Hafner, a fearsome warrior and tracker without peer. He prefers the trackless wilds to city living, but his duties as commander for both Taal's Chosen and the city militia keep him embroiled in politics more than he likes."

    https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

    Black Book of Ibn Naggazar = ”Ibn Naggazar was a brilliant, if somewhat maniacal, Arabyan sorcerer. Whilst it is unknown whether his madness sprang from isolation, too many attempts at creating intoxicating ‘elixirs’ or the honeyed promises of whispering Daemons, there can be no doubt that he was utterly insane. No rational wizard would create a book inked on the skin of his closest family, much less constantly follow its advice.”
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

    Blade of Last Resort = ”This sword has ever had a twisted sense of humour, seeking out overmatched heroes and aiding them against a chosen foe. However, the Blade of Last Resort draws its strength from a victor’s glorious lifeblood; those that best an opponent with its aid themselves have scant moments to live.”

    Dodecahedron of Continental Drift = ”Said to have been left behind by the Old Ones, this peculiar object can be used to remake the world. Each alteration to the Dodecahedron’s external matrix is reflected on the land around the user. Its ill-considered use can easily prove catastrophic…”

    Fozzrik’s Floating Fortress = ”Though Fozzrik’s magical aptitude led him to become a wizard, he never lost his love for architecture. Many of the Old World’s cities have been built around immaculate structures that Fozzrik created from stone and sorcery, but more prized by far are his floating fortresses - buildings that move under their own power and sprout defences to repel intruders.”

    Giantkin Helm = ”After constantly being told ‘We expect big things from you’ by his Elector Count father, Heinrich von Roth spent much of the family fortune commissioning an artefact that would help him achieve greatness. Alas, he was to learn that when dealing with wizards, precision of diction is just as important as largesse of payment.”
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

    Living Deadwood Staff = ”Arboreonecromancy is a little-practiced branch of wizardry - any mystic crazed enough to attempt it normally transfers his attentions back to raising zombies and skeletons, rather than undead trees. However, legends tell of the Archmage Sycamo, ‘The Daemon Carpenter of Estalia’, who not only perfected a method of reanimating trees from their residual elements, but also filling them with astounding vigour. Much of Sycamo’s work has, fortunately, been lost to the intervening aeons, but the Living Deadwood Staff never stays missing for long…”

    Paranoth’s Piquet Fence = ”Paranoth was a famous travelling mage, who trod every road ‘twixt Cathay and Naggarond. Naturally, only a particularly foolish wizard would journey such roads without defences, so Paranoth wove himself a sorcerous fence to defend his encampments whilst he and his companions slept.”

    Rockcharmer’s Flute = ”Androgast Gildheim was the first man in the Empire to master this granite flute, but its origins lie hidden in the mists of time. Some say that the Rockcharmer’s Flute was used to destroy the old Dwarfen realms, others that it sank the fabled realm of Seidon. However, the most popular tale concerns a drunken Halfling, the Rockcharmer’s Flute, a jug of lamp oil, a plate of sausages and the accidental creation of the Grey Mountains.”

    Windcatcher Prism = ”This peculiar bauble was crafted long ago, its purpose very much tied to storms of magic. Once a particular Wind of Magic rises to a certain cataclysmic level, the Windcatcher Prism absorbs and rechannels a portion of its power, bestowing the bearer - and his immediate allies - with an avataric aspect of the ascendant Wind of Magic.”
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

    Woodwaker’s Wand = ”Once upon a time, all the woods in the world were linked. Some say this great forest was alive, in a curious sort of way, and that every tree that now grows retains a portion of its vigour and intelligence just waiting to be revived.”

    Wyssan’s Weighted Dice = ”This set of weighted dice is one amongst many forged by Arctovian Wyssan over the course of a long and (unsurprisingly) successful wagering career. At the bearer’s command, these skull-marked cubes play havoc with the laws of causality; turning certainty into bleak misfortune.”

    Lore Information Regarding The Empire

    When a series is being continuously updated for a quarter of a century there is bound to be a massive amount of lore that has been created for it. This is an attempt to collate important snippets of lore that I have found during my research into units. I am presenting these in note form rather than in quote form due to the sheer amount of information that is potentially able to be displayed here, but I hope that it will prove useful or interesting to you regardless.

    General Information

    Nobility
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    - One thing The Empire is not short of is nobility and the government depends on it.
    - The Empire is not full of fine and honourable aristocrats, they’re just people who’ve been lucky enough to wield power.
    - The Electors each hold sway over one of the large provinces of the Empire, and elect one of their number to serve as Emperor until death.
    - It’s not unknown for Emperors to be killed by aspiring nobles.
    - Each Elector is the head of a dynasty, and their command is theirs by birthrite through the generations. Except for the clerical electors.
    - Most of the ruling Electoral families have existed for centuries.
    - Its tradition for Electors to entrust members of their family with posts in the electoral province. They might control smaller provinces or have important positions in a Knighthood.
    - Nobles often hold governmental offices like Commander of the Road Wardens or Knight-Chevalier of the Bedchamber, and this gives them substantial land-holdings or castles of their own.
    - The divisions and alliances among the Electors tend to be at their most critical during the election of a new Emperor.
    https://i.imgur.com/TaLw0as.png White Dwarf 91
    https://i.imgur.com/9qppcSA.png White Dwarf 91

    - The primary reason the Reik's Marches have not been cultivated or settled to any great degree lies in the area's proximity to the Empire's capital of Altdorf.
    - Many nobles serving at the Emperor's Court maintain holdings in the woodlands.
    - From palatial lodges aristocratic hunting parties range far and wide across the forests in pursuit of the great stags that reside deep within.
    - A thousand decrees and edicts maintain the area as the strict preserve of the idle rich, the commoners limited to the few lands allotted them.
    - Though this constant attention from the rich keeps the area relatively free of dangerous creatures, the fact that the common men and women of the Empire are barred from travel throughout vast swathes of the Reik's Marches has given rise to all manner of rumours and vicious gossip.
    - Many hold that it is not only hunting that the nobles engage in at their forest lodges, and some whisper of corruption given free reign far from prying eyes.
    - Some say that a large number of the nobles are engaged in various forms of proscribed cult activity deep within the woods, and that there is an increasing weight of evidence to support it, though when asked to verify such material, the wagging tongues grow still.
    - The truth of the matter is that some deep forest clearings have been used as cult meeting places.
    - Few, however, have witnessed the ceremonies enacted around burning pyres under the sickly light of Morrslieb and survived.
    - The identities of the worshippers remain carefully hidden, even from each other, behind ornate masks or beneath velvet hoods lest the court of Altdorf be rocked to its very foundation with controversy.

    - Werner Stolz - Chief Priest of the Cult of Sigmar in Middenheim - is known to have very cordial relations with both the Grand Theogonist and the two Arch Lectors of Sigmar.

    - Celibacy in the cult exists because of a falling out between an Elector of Middenheim and the Ar-Ulric.
    - The legend of the creation of the Fauschlag can be found in the library of the Temple of Ulric.
    - Wulcan, son of Artur, had a vision from Ulric to build the Temple upon the Fauschlag, with a fire that would never go out.
    - The Temple of Ulric is the largest of all Old World temples.
    - The flame which erupted from the spot where Ulric's blow fell still burns in a great hearth.
    - It’s said that the fire cannot harm to a true follower of the god and many ‘heretics’ have perished in the flames to prove the point.
    - The flame has another magical property that is little known; any blade left in the fire will gain temporary magical powers.
    - The powers vary - sometimes the weapon gains bonuses to damage, sometimes it merely enables the wielder to strike beings immune to non-magical weapons.

    - Ar-Ulric is the head of the Cult of Ulric for the entire Empire.
    - In 1360 the then Ar-Ulric left Middenheim to espouse the cause of Grand Duchess Ottilia in Talabheim.
    - Graf Heinrich responded by banishing all but the most junior Clerics of Ulric and replaced the Temple Guard with his own Knights.
    - Two hundred years later, when a later Ar-Ulric wished to end this 'exile', Graf Siegfried the Significant insisted that a number of conditions be met first.
    - The most important was the adoption of a vow of celibacy by all Clerics of Ulric.
    - This was to ensure that no priest would ever be able to start a rival dynasty to the Graf's own.
    - Although the Ar-Ulric of the time accepted the Graf's terms, there were many Clerics for whom such a lifestyle was anathema.
    - To this day, there is a sizeable faction which still plots to have this restriction removed. The current Ar-Ulric supports their position.
    - Ar-Ulric dreams of fathering a family whose scions could one day bear the titles of both Ar-Ulric and Graf.
    - The Celibacy lssue isn’t the only cause of unrest among Ulric's clergy. Small enclaves still work to promote the Sigmarian Heresy.

    - Knights of the White Wolf are believed to be supporters of the latter group.

    - They are Ulric’s sworn servants.

    Warhammer Fantasy 2nd Edition RPG: Ashes of Middenheim

    - The Wolf God is venerated by the Middenlanders simply because he is as unforgiving as the country he watches over, and demands of his followers the strength they need to survive there.
    - Though Ulric has no time or sympathy for the weak, those who show strength of body and character will gain both his favour and his respect and thus, perhaps, his blessing in their continued fight for survival.

    Heretic Cults of the Empire
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Not all religious cults are accepted in the Empire, these are the ones that have been deemed heretical.

    - The primary reason the Reik's Marches have not been cultivated or settled to any great degree lies in the area's proximity to the Empire's capital of Altdorf.

    - From palatial lodges aristocratic hunting parties range far and wide across the forests in pursuit of the great stags that reside deep within.
    - A thousand decrees and edicts maintain the area as the strict preserve of the idle rich, the commoners limited to the few lands allotted them.
    - The fact that the common men and women of the Empire are barred from travel throughout vast swathes of the Reik's Marches has given rise to all manner of rumours and vicious gossip.
    - Many hold that it is not only hunting that the nobles engage in at their forest lodges, and some whisper of corruption given free rein far from prying eyes.
    - Some say that a large number of the nobles are engaged in various forms of proscribed cult activity deep within the woods, and that there is an increasing weight of evidence to support it.
    - The truth is that some deep forest clearings have been used as cult meeting places.
    - Few, however, have witnessed the ceremonies enacted around burning pyres under the sickly light of Morrslieb and survived.

    WHFRPG 1st Edition - Middenheim: City of Chaos p6

    - Most terrible of all the features of the Drakwald Deeps are the so-called hag trees. These are impossibly ancient, perhaps older than the forests themselves.
    - Beastmen warbands flock to such trees from far and wide, adorning them with grisly trophies and skeletal remains, and engaging in blasphemous, moonlit worship of foul gods.
    - Perhaps worse still, some say that human cultists, too, are drawn from the villages and towns, to cavort with the children of Chaos beneath the twisted branches, offering up their own gifts to the ruinous powers.
    - Those that witness these gatherings soon find themselves hanging next to the other trophies, so the hag trees are grim warnings to those who attempt to travel through this haunted place.
    - Northeast of the Barren Hills lie the Talabec Borders, an area of deep forest.
    - The woods to the west of the region have always been feared for the mutant lairs hidden deep within.
    - When the Green Hills were blighted by Morrsleib's spite, many twisted creatures appeared.
    - The descendants of these mutant monstrosities still dwell there, and emerge from the deep woods to wreak havoc on the countryside.
    - The forests of the Talabec Borders are also home to some numbers of Beastmen warbands, having established themselves in the woods during the last Great War Against Chaos.
    - These await the time when the next Chaos incursion will bring their kin down from the north, allowing them to rise up as a great horde and feast on man flesh.
    - Of late, the Beastmen of the Talabec Borders have grown more daring in their attacks along the Talabec Road and the Old Forest Road.
    - Fortified tollhouses have been attacked, entire merchant caravans and pilgrim columns have been ambushed, the dismembered bodies hung from the forest's eaves as a grisly omen of some coming time of woe, and several villages have been burnt to the ground and their inhabitants devoured.
    - Despite the best efforts of the road wardens and army, the Beastmen remain a problem, causing some degree of political unrest in Talabecland.

    Electoral States and Free-Charter Towns of the Empire
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    "There are ten provincial states in the Empire, each ultimately ruled by an Elector Count who owes his or her power to the unifying figurehead and ultimate authority of the Emperor. It should be noted that the Empire is not truly a single, centralized nation-state, but instead a confederation of individual, feudal states united only by the common tongue of Reikspiel, a shared faith in Sigmar and a mutual Imperial culture. The Imperial states correspond roughly to the ancient tribal territories brought together by Sigmar when he united the tribes of Man beneath one crown to defeat the Greenskins of the Old World.

    The southern Imperial states - Averland, Reikland, Stirland, Talabecland and Wissenland - resemble a broad chalice, partially surrounded by near-impassable mountain ranges from which drain the mighty rivers which are the lifeblood of Imperial trade. To the west of these are the Grey Mountains, beyond which lies the Kingdom of Bretonnia and the Wood Elves' magical forest of Athel Loren. To the south are the inhospitable Black Mountains and to the east the Worlds Edge Mountains that mark the eastern extent of the Old World.

    To the north, the rolling hills and rapid streams of the south and east are gradually transformed into the forested lowlands and deep waterways that define the heart of the Empire. The vast forests that comprise the central and northern Imperial lands stretch almost unbroken across the countless leagues from the state of Reikland to the northern border with Kislev and the shore of the Sea of Claws. The Great Forest, Drakwald Forest and the Forest of Shadows are all essentially part of the same dark, untamed wilderness, with the green blanket of trees punctured only by the abrupt mountain range known as the Middle Mountains. These lands are divided into the northern Imperial states - Hochland, Ostermark, Ostland, Middenland and Nordland. The inhabitants of these northern states generally have to deal with much greater hardships and military threats than those of the more civilized south, being that much closer to the daemons, Beastmen and other dangers of the northern Chaos Wastes."

    https://i.imgur.com/7pmCPoz.png Warhammer 3rd Edition Rulebook

    - Averland is a series of sun-drenched rolling plains running northwest to southeast, lacking the great forests of other territories.
    - It's a fertile country, its plains watered by the annual floods of the great rivers that border it, sometimes the floods are high enough to flood the towns and cities. Averlanders see this as the price to pay for abundant crops.

    The Grand Duchies of Middenheim and Middenland
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Elector Count
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    - Many settlements surrounding Middenheim come under the Graf's suzerainty: they must pay his taxes, fight in his armies, and obey his laws.
    - The Todbringers have a most distinguished lineage.
    - They are distant relatives of Gunthar von Bildhofen, brother of Magnus the Pious.
    - Graf Boris has ruled within a semi-democratic government developed by his forebears.
    - Technically, he enacts all city laws, but he has many interested parties that make recommendations to him through a variety of public commissions.
    - Boris’ enlightened approach to ruling has one important consequence - Middenheim is a rather liberal place.
    - The Todbringers have taken care to listen to their people when making and enforcing laws.
    - Graf Boris reveres Ulric, not least because the Grand Theogonist was responsible for his ancestor Gunthar not becoming Emperor when Magnus the Pious died.
    - Ties with Nordland date from the marriage of Brunhilde Todbringer to Baron Ludwig Nikse in 2368.
    - Relations strengthened when Boris' father married Birgit Nikse, and Boris himself took Anika-Elise Nikse as his second wife in 2502.
    - To help with running the City State, he surrounds himself with all sorts of advisers.
    - Recently, Boris has been losing his firm grip on things. His second wife, Anika-Elise, died just over a year ago, and the Graf's grief has degenerated into melancholia.
    - He has two sons - the elder by an illegitimate liaison with an ex-Lady of the Court, and the younger by his first wife.
    - The latter is Baron Stefan Todbringer (Boris' first wife died giving birth to him), who was named heir to his father's title the day after he was born.
    - This has proven to be a mistake, as Stefan has grown into a palsied, feeble-minded idiot.
    - Caring for him is made difficult because of his extreme agitation and outbursts of attempted self-mutilation and violence.
    - The elder son, Baron Heinrich Todbringer, is characterised by considerable intellectual gifts and physical prowess.
    - Heinrich has been entrusted with diplomatic missions by his father, but this gifted man is in a desperately difficult situation caused by Boris’ grief.
    - Desperate to redeem the situation a famous Miraglianese physician has recently been imported into the City.
    - Luigi Pavarotti has already gained a city-wide notoriety for his enormous "appetites", and is known universally as "Herr Doktor”
    - Remarkably, he seems to have managed to stabilise the condition of Baron Stefan.
    - There’s little hope that Stefan will ever be in a position to assume his father's mantle, but Boris shows no signs of wanting to alter his Edict of Succession.
    - Graf Boris Todbringer, as the supreme ruler of the City State, is Commander-in-Chief of all the armed forces.
    - His first allegiance is supposedly to the Emperor, which means that one of his main duties is to ensure that he can provide an army to aid his liege-lord in times of war.
    - Additionally, he is charged with 'maintaining the Emperor's peace, and protecting the servants of the gods.

    Drakwald Deeps
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    - Situated in the north and west of the Empire, the Drakwald swathes huge tracts of land around Middenheim.
    - Taking its name from the dead province of Drakwald, it's a sparse forest, the land being infertile.
    - Little of the Drakwald is been cleared for cultivation, and few farmers would do so even were its soils the most fertile in the region.
    - The darkest parts of the forest are the Drakwald Deeps, and are said to be haunted by an ancient evil predating the coming of Sigmar's people.
    - The nature of this evil is subject to much speculation.
    - Some claim it's the unquiet spirits of the long-slain dragons that once preyed upon the Unberogen tribes when they first settled the area, awakening to snatch travellers from horseback on the forest roads.
    - Other stories tell of creatures born to human families, but were marked by Chaos and cast out into the cold night.
    - Such creatures, mutated and twisted, are said to congregate, drawn to their own kind in the Drakwald Deeps.
    - Most terrible of all the features of the Drakwald Deeps are the hag trees. They're impossibly ancient, perhaps older than the forests themselves.
    - Beastmen flock to such trees, adorning them with grisly trophies and engaging in blasphemous worship of foul gods.
    - Some say that human cultists, too, cavort with the children of Chaos beneath the twisted branches, offering up their own gifts to the ruinous powers.
    - Those that witness these gatherings soon find themselves hanging next to the other trophies, so the hag trees are grim warnings to those who travel through this haunted place.

    - The inhabitants are a strange and taciturn lot, their minds blasted by the winds, their dialect thick and uncouth, and they are amongst the most superstitious people in all of the Duchy.
    - It's not without reason that the locals warn against travel through their lands, for the lonely hills are dotted with ancient cairns, stone circles and monoliths.
    - These are stark reminders of a time long before the rise of the Empire, when Man lived closer to the land but huddled in fear of the unseen forces at work upon the world.
    - The merchants that pass through, trading with the locals for wool, have many an eerie story, of voices upon the wind, of standing stones bathed in pulsing lights, and of misshapen silhouettes crossing the skyline.

    - The lower ranges and deep valleys are wooded with dense and rain-swept forest.
    - The winds never tire.
    - The hills derive their name from the dreadful, keening wail carried on the wind.
    - Its terrible sound is loudest upon the bare peaks, and takes on a low, ululating moan in the shallow dales.
    - Some say that it's not merely the whistling of the air that gives voice to the constant shrieking, for it as shrill and plaintive as the wailing cries of the damned, and sometimes pleas, piercing screams and unholy threats can be caught amidst its endless moans.
    - But with every passing day more and more ratmen from all the greater and many lesser clans arrive through twisting tunnels to emerge at the isolated Skaven warrens in the Howling and Barren Hills.

    - The Reik's Marches comprise the southern portion of Middenland.
    - The forest grows dense and tall, and only narrow paths cross it, for no major roads have been cut through.

    - Many nobles serving at the Emperor's Court maintain holdings here.
    - From palatial lodges aristocratic hunting parties range across the forests in pursuit of the great stags that reside deep within.
    - A thousand decrees and edicts keep the area as the preserve of the rich, with commoners limited to the few lands allotted them.
    - Though this constant attention from the rich keeps the area relatively free of dangerous creatures, the fact that the common men and women of the Empire are barred from travel throughout vast swathes has given rise to all manner of rumours.
    - Some whisper of corrupt nobles given free rein far from prying eyes.
    - Some say that a large number of the nobles are engaged in various forms of proscribed cult activity deep within the woods, and that there is an increasing weight of evidence to support it, though when asked to verify such material, the wagging tongues grow still.
    - The truth is that some deep forest clearings have been used as cult meeting places.
    - Few, however, have witnessed the ceremonies enacted around burning pyres under the sickly light of Morrslieb and survived.

    - The most important offices are those of Chancellor and the three Law Lords who advise Boris on the political ramifications of his decisions.
    - Other advisers include the High Wizard of the Wizards' and Alchemists' Guild, and the three Midden Marshalls.
    - There are numerous Public Commissions - one for just about every aspect of city life.
    - The Heads of the Komissions all have access to the Law Lords, and are thus, occasionally, able to influence the Graf himself.
    - There are dozens of Burgerlich Komissionen - or Public Commissions - but the function and purpose of most of them is lost in the mists of time.
    - That they still exist at all only goes to show how unwieldy and inefficient the City's Civil Service really is.
    - Among these are the Komission for Commerce, Trade and Taxation, the Worshipful Guild of Legalists, and the Komission for Elven, Dwarven and Halfling interests (KEDHI).
    - The Komission for Commerce, Trade and Taxation was established to regulate the activities of the Merchants' Guild, but is now controlled by those merchants.
    - The Worshipful Guild of Legalists registers all the city’s lawyers and drafts legislation and their scribes copy books, scrolls and tomes for use by the Graf and the city.
    - The KEDHI was set up over a century ago when non-humans felt ill-treated by the Human majority. It’s responsible for organising elven and dwarven cultural events during festivals.
    - Elves sometimes refer to the KEDHI as 'the dancing hall', making an obscure pun on the Eltharin word for an evening of drinking, music and dancing.
    - The Komission for Health, Education, & Welfare was set up shortly after an outbreak of the Black Plague in 2115.
    - This body liaises with the Physicians' Guild on matters of health, and licences practising physicians and herbalists in the City.
    - The Komission is also supposed to employ a body of Rat Catchers, but since the Chancellor refuses to fund them, such types are left to operate on a freelance basis.
    - The Komission for Public Works is responsible for the maintenance of the paved streets, parks and public open spaces, monuments and sewers.
    - It employs a force of labourers and park-keepers, who are generally retired members of the City Watch.
    - The City Watch is responsible for upholding the law in the city, the mounted watchmen called Roadwardens have jurisdiction outside the city limits and on the roads.
    - The Knights Panther are drawn from the ranks of the nobility, although one or two Squires are usually knighted each year at a Midsummer Tourney.
    - Marshall Ulrich Schutzmann is the Commander of the Watch.
    - The Watch is divided into four contingents, each based at one of the four city gates. The volunteers are drawn from the households of all tax-paying citizens of the City State.
    - During Festivals, they are pretty tolerant and are used to some public disorder. Quarrels and drunkenness don't bother them much; only crimes against property and serious violence will concern them.
    - It’s acceptable to wander the streets with a knife, dagger or a rapier, but large weapons will attract the attention of the Watch.
    - It’s not illegal, but they make it plain that it’s not acceptable, and they will hassle anyone with such weapons visible.
    - They will treat anyone clothed in a mail coat or plate armour in the same way.
    - The officers of the Militia and the City Watch deal with all offences committed by members of the garrison.
    - The Midden Marshalls deal with crimes committed by officers or by the Kislevite mercenaries.

    - They start well away from the Fauschlag so that the gradient isn’t too much for even the most heavily laden farm wagon.

    - Rumours insist that a growing community of mutants is fostered by the City's Chaos cults in Morrspark.
    - The idea of taking refuge in the Drakwald forest is rarely considered. The zeal with which the Templars of the White Wolf and the Knights Panther raid for mutants is sufficient deterrent.

    - People say that out of pure spite, Morrslieb spat warpstone through the clear night sky, to explode above the Green Hills, showering them with strange, glowing dust.
    - Its impact engulfed the entire range in a tidal wave of destruction that affected everything.
    - A sickly green mist rose over the hills. Silhouetted against the drifting vapours were the skeletal remains of once mighty trees. Across all the glades and villages of the hills nothing could be heard, and an awful silence reigned.
    - Every living creature not killed by Morrslieb's malice was twisted beyond recognition.
    - Men and beasts alike were afflicted by appalling mutation, and they wailed horribly in their anguish as they rampaged across the land.
    - It was only when the Elector Count of Talabecland declared a crusade against the mutated things from the hills that the threat to the area abated.
    - In a hundred days of mournful slaughter, the army of Talabecland and the Knights of the Blazing Sun purged the lands.
    - The Green Hills would be known forever as the Barren Hills.
    - The only things that stand upon them now are black and blasted trees.
    - Foul and mutated things descend from the hills to prey upon the unwary, and the militias of the settlements that look upon the bare hillsides must be ever watchful.
    - When the Green Hills were blighted by Morrsleib's spite, many twisted creatures migrated to the area ahead of the crusade against them.
    - The descendants of these mutant monstrosities still dwell there, and emerge from the deep woods to wreak havoc on the countryside from time to time.

    Great Confluence
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    - The Great Confluence is the area where the Talabec and Delb rivers meet and flow to the Reik.
    - The Talabec originates in the northern reaches of the Worlds Edge Mountains between Karak Kadrin and the ruins of Karak Ungor.
    - The river widens throughout its course to Talabheim, eventually becoming too wide to bridge.
    - At Talabheim, there is a major ferry point, providing the last reliable crossing before the river flows, heavily laden with dark soil from the plains, into the Reik at Altdorf.
    - Many tributaries and streams drain into the Talabec from the hills in the Great Confluence region, swelling the river to a massive size, and the forests about are often flooded in spring.
    - The entire region is highly fertile, with much cultivated land below the confluence of the Delb and Talabec, particularly where the Talabec basin borders the Reik's Marches.
    - Many farmsteads work the soil, the people ever pushing back the dark eaves of the forest to clear more land.
    - But there are tracts of the region which the farmers and merchants fear to travel.
    - Apart from the Beastmen, the woods to the east are the subject of many folk tales.
    - Some claim the forest takes on a fey air the deeper one travels, the paths becoming ever more winding until the traveller is hopelessly lost.

    River Narn

    - The waters of the River Narn, flowing as they do from the Barren Hills to the east, are believed by many to be tainted.
    - Many of the fish caught from the river are afflicted by mutation and sickness. Some are said to sport multiple eyes, while others, the locals claim, have malformed and withered yet disturbingly human-like limbs.
    - With the general level of poverty afflicting the region, many such catches make it to market and to the dinner table, despite the proscriptions placed upon eating them.
    - Perhaps as a result of the locals eating this corrupted foodstuff, incidents of mutation in newborn children are high in the area, and the Witch Hunters are forced to make regular visits to the region's towns to guard against this unholy corruption becoming endemic.

    Taalford Lowlands
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    - Here the forest becomes more scattered and patchy, before rising once more to form the blasted heights of the Barren Hills.
    - The area skirts the River Narn, and the many rocky fords that break the course of this shallow river have led to the area being referred to as the Taalford Lowlands.
    - Although some settlements are to be found in Taalford, most hug the line of the Kemperbad Road, and the region is sparsely populated.
    - The riverbanks here are by no means as crowded with human life as those of the Talabec.
    - The principle reason for this is the nature of the land, which is stony and ill-suited to cultivation.
    - The thin woodlands bordering the Taalford are home to roaming bands of robbers, but the deeper woods belong to the Beastman.
    - As if to pile yet more woe upon the miseries afflicting the lowlands, the woods are known to be home to all manner of strange and unnatural creatures.
    - This vast, unbroken tract of wildwood is rarely travelled, its depths almost entirely uncharted by man.
    - What evil draws such foul beasts is unknown, though its power certainly grows strong under the moss-wreathed arms of the forest trees.

    - The woods to the west of the region have always been feared for the mutant lairs hidden deep within.

    - The forests of the Talabec Borders are also home to some numbers of Beastmen warbands, having established themselves in the woods during the last Great War Against Chaos.
    - These await the time when the next Chaos incursion will bring their kin down from the north, allowing them to rise up as a great horde and feast on man flesh.
    - Travelling the roads has become an expensive business, as no-one will set out without a substantial guard of heavily armed and armoured men.
    - Despite the best efforts of the road wardens and army, the Beastmen remain a problem, causing some degree of political unrest in Talabecland as the merchant class clamour for something to be done.

    Wow, that must have been a lot of work. I wasn't even aware that there are so many named regiments in fluff. I hope modders will use this when creating new units!

    You're not the only one who didn't realise it! I was very surprised, I knew there would be a lot, but I never expected nearly 50 different knightly orders, let alone all the rest. I suppose it was good I started with one of the biggest ones though. The two other big ones will be Chaos and the Orcs and Goblins, is it any surprise I've skipped out on those for now

    I'm about to post up the Vampire Counts list.

    Amazing threads paulH, thank you for the kickass digging! Are you planning to make units yourself or just spread the word?

    Default Re: Information Thread for Potential New Empire Units - Updated 26/09 Mordheim & Pitfighters

    Thanks very much! I've still got a long way to go, currently working on Skaven, High Elves, Dark Elves, Amazons, Lizardmen, Nagashizzar, Hobgoblin Khans, Gnoblar Rebellions and Ogre Kingdoms, and as I work on those I'm discovering stuff for the other factions as well. Getting nearer to the end though. Today I'm updating a number of threads with Mordheim units.

    I'd love to make the units, but I don't know how and I'm aiming to get into Mass Effect 3 modding instead, but we'll see. Maybe one day I'll try my hand at it.

    Hey PaulH, thought you would like to know that your research is slowly being put to use. I have a gigantic list of regiments to make for each province to give them a unique feel. At present, Altdorf, my first hurdle, is about 90% done. If I could ask a small favour, could you please provide some more details on the 'Palisades' unit from 'A Night Too Long'? I do not have that short story. Great work on your research, hope you like the mod! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1207249698
