Information Thread for Potential New Northern Human Tribes

In the very distant past, most if not all of the Northmen's ancestors were descended from Humans who ventured northward during Humanity's earlier migration. Whilst the more "civilized" tribes colonized the lands of Tilea, Estalia and the Border Princes, some of these tribes continued northward until they've reached the frozen tundra's that separates the rolling plains of the Eastern Steppes from the frozen wastelands of the Chaos Waste. Being in such close proximity to the Northern Warp Gates, it was inevitable that in time the Dark Gods began to slowly corrupt and enslave the minds of the Northern Human Tribes. The resulting centuries of Chaos influence eventually led to wide-spread mutation and social stagnation. While the people of the south developed into powerful semi-unified nations, the people of the North still regress to primitive savages living within isolated Tribes scattered all across the northlands. However, the centuries of harsh living within an even harsher landscape had since bred the Northmen's into unparalleled warriors, whose swollen frame and large stature had made them stand far taller then even the most powerfully-built southern warriors.

Cult Shaman = ”Archaon executed much of the dross that surrendered to him from the Ogvaldr’s warband but took the scampering plague that was the giant rat-thing Stenomys. Even the monster proved more trouble than it was worth, the infestations making their home in its fur afflicting Archaon’s Kvellig cult warriors.

Their warlocks were all whiskers and squinting hatred, withstanding the deep cold of the Wastes with the warmth of their mammoth-hair coats, their charmed fires and hulking Kurgan slaves – unfortunates snatched from the lands of the Tokmar and Yusak and worked to death. When Archaon had sliced and stabbed through enough of their slave-stock, the warlocks came at the warband with enchanted incendiaries – urns that unleashed firestorms of green flame.”

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Archers = The Kurgan are some of the most skillful archers to walk the world, their composite bows letting heavy arrows fly with such force that no bascinet, cuirass or mail can protect against. The Kurgan let fly their arrows with such rapidity as to evoke some mechanical marvel of the College of Engineers, their skill at ranged combat marking them as unique from the other races of the North, such as the Norse, who see the bow as the ultimate emblem of cowardice.

Archaon: Everchosen novel by Rob Sanders

Tong Warband = They carved a bloody swathe through the lands, destroying any tribe that got in their way. Not even the Kurgan could stand against them. These raiders were the Tong. The reason for their success stemmed for their complete and total disregard for their own well-being. They threw themselves onto the spears and swords of their enemies to hack their way to the other side. They are the most mutated and hideous of all the northern tribes.

Mung

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Mung Horsemen = ”The Mung were known among the Wastes to possess the finest steeds of any tribe on account of the way their witch-doctors unlocked the simple animal souls of their horses to devils and evil spirits. The eyes of Mung mounts burned with the spectral fury of beasts possessed. They could run faster and for longer than any equivalent mount in the Wastes and with herds of the black beasts, the Mung’s territories were wide and ever expanding. Mung horsemen swept down on them like a flock of birds, wheeling and swerving, attempting to cut them down with their wyrdstone edged blades.”
Archaon: Everchosen novel by Rob Sanders

Mung Horse-Archers = ”The escape turned into a running battle, however, with the Mung war party moving almost as one, slicing through Archaon’s band at blazing speed before routinely withdrawing and turning the sky black with launched arrows.

Not even the Kurgan could stand against them. Those who tried were utterly destroyed. These raiders were the Tong. So rare are these warriors that no one knows for sure what they look like, except to say that are the most mutated and hideous of all the northern tribes.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Tong

Mutated and Tainted

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Darksoul = Darksouls no longer house the essence of the daemon, but are deeply scarred by the experience. The Hung and Kurgan regularly subject captured slaves to terrifying rituals in which they bind a Daemon into their captive, letting it work its evil on the mortal form just long enough to destroy whatever good remained. Once the Daemon has done its work, they banish the creature and welcome the newly born Darksoul into their midst. Those who become Darksouls are forever changed, their humanity stripped from them for all time. They become wild and crazed creatures, retaining their human form but being of an utterly inhuman mind.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Darksoul

Flayerkin = These are mutants crafted from a vile blend of Marauder, shaven and hell-forged iron. They have sharp claws grafted onto their wrists which they use to slice apart their foes and scale castle walls with chains fused to their spines, leaving behind a trail of corpses as they reach the top.

Unbeknownst to Archaon at the time, his warband had ridden into the territory of a brutal chieftain calling himself the Hu-Mung-us, a chariot-riding giant of a marauder – nearly twice as tall as his stunted Mung tribesman.”

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 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."

Tong

Warlock Mangonels = ”His heavy footsteps took him through the sky-striving blossoms of green fire, as the larger urns dropped and hit the ground. As he saw the lobbed urns fall before him, the templar was forced to skid and scramble in the opposite direction to evade a fiery death. Charging through the dying blaze of a short fallen urn, Archaon arrived before a pair of ramshackle mangonels, manned and manoeuvred by Tokmar slaves. Tong warlocks were overseeing the trajectory and loading of the weapon from a rhinox-hauled cart of prepared urns, protecting the fur tents of an encampment beyond. Archaon made short work of the brutalised mangonel crews and their vicious warlock overseers, thundering on through the cold and into the camp.”

Special and Named Characters

Here is contained a full list of every possible Legendary Lord or Legendary Hero that I could find for the Northern Human Tribes, excluding those who are long dead. I have split them into different categories for each tribe 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.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

War Chief Gurkhan = "They say his name is Gurkhan, a merciless and brutal warrior whose abhorrent form stands taller than any mortal man. Tis said he no longer resembles a man but has taken the form of a hideous beast and all the Dolgan have united with other tribes to wage brutal war under his banner."

Lords

Gypsy Queen of the Dolgans = ”Archaon fought his way through them all. The Dolgans, whose gypsy queen used her sorceries to curse her tribe’s enemies with foul fortune and the misstep of luck. Any who fought the Dolgans had to battle with the terrain and weather against them, as well as the witch’s inbred army of lover-marauders roaring for their blood. Archaon did not require luck to win his battles.”
Archaon: Everchosen novel by Rob Sanders

Zharkol, Champion of Tzeentch = "In but a few moments the clear blue of the winter sky darkened. Menacing black clouds blotted out the rays of the dawn sun and the sound of thunder tremble through the hearts of the Kislevites. A great blast of forked lightning struck the highest tower of the fort, and silhouetted against the brief flash of light descended a figure of dread. The being wore long flowing robes, topped with a great horned helm. In one hand it held a huge shield adorned with a sorcerous image, in the other a sharp pointed lance engraved with fiery glowing runes. It was mounted on a large disc that shimmered with colourful magical energy."

Fengshen Ku = ”Under their eastern warlord, Fengshen Ku, the Hundun marauder clan belonged to the Dreaded Wo tribe and were made up of mounted members of the respected sword clans and their retainers that formed hordes of pike-wielding supporters. With their black, lacquered armour, pairs of curved long swords and iron masks – forged in expressions of horror and dismay – Fengshen Ku and the sword clan of the Dreaded Wo were a dark and determined force.”

Kurgan

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

High Zar Aelfric Cyenwulf = ”However it came to be spoken, the name of Aelfric Cyenwulf, high chieftain of the northern tribes and favoured lieutenant of the dread Archaeon himself, had come to Kislev. War-chiefs of the Kurgan were nothing new and the oldest men and women of the steppe knew of many bloodthirsty barbarian leaders who had come and gone.” He is accurately depicted in Chapter 11 and Ursun’s Teeth chap 3.

Lords

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Iskavar Gan = ”Iskavar was a pale and capable Kurgan warrior, whose warband had been slain by Archaon’s own. The Kurgan’s spear arm had been something to behold, several of Archaon’s warriors ending up with javelins through them from impossible distances away. Always dressed in the filth of furs and the spikes of his black armour and shield, the Kurgan had accepted a place at Archaon’s side as a lieutenant. He was easy to like and used to show off his aim by launching javelins into the sky and spearing vultures as they circled.”
Archaon: Everchosen novel by Rob Sanders

Kar Odacen = ”The spring thaw was upon the land and his shaman, Kar Odacen, had promised him that the snows were already receding.”
Ursun’s Teeth by Graham McNeill - Chapter 5

Okkodai Tarsus = ”The news soon spread through the city, Boyarin Kurkosk’s Sanyza pulk and the army of Stirland had fought and destroyed a great mass of northmen led by a chieftain named Okkodai Tarsus at Krasicyno, putting it to flight and killing thousands of the tribesmen.”
Ursun’s Teeth by Graham McNeill - Chapter 7

Surtha Lenk = ”Yesterday, forward riders of the Tzarina’s personal guard had brought news that the combined armies of Kislev and the Empire had met the army of a Kurgan war leader named Surtha Lenk at the river crossing of Mazhorod and destroyed it utterly.”
Ursun’s Teeth by Graham McNeill - Chapter 8

The Great Spleen = ”Aleghast proved incapable of taking orders, and not long after Archaon allowed the prince and his entourage to be eaten by the Ravening – a nomadic band of barbaric Kurgans that worshipped, as an incarnation of Khorne, a huge ogre in Archaon’s ranks called the Great Spleen. Archaon had the monster sleep away from their camp. The ogre was too dangerous to keep nearby. He might wake like a furious bear from hibernation and kill them all.”

They could run faster and for longer than any equivalent mount in the Wastes and with herds of the black beasts, the Mung’s territories were wide and ever expanding. Unbeknownst to Archaon at the time, his warband had ridden into the territory of a brutal chieftain calling himself the Hu-Mung-us, a chariot-riding giant of a marauder – nearly twice as tall as his stunted Mung tribesman.”

Magical Weapons, Armour, Amulets, Scrolls and Other Items

This section deals in those magical items that can be used by this faction. This is by no means a full list, I doubt I'll ever get that, but it will provide modders with information if they wish to add new magical weapons, armour and items into the game to be used.

Common Magic Items

If you follow the link below you will find dozens of magical items that are commonly found in the Old World (and beyond).

Smile of Sardiss = ”Zarnath smiled nervously, grateful for the change in subject. ‘The relic I require is a torc crafted from ruby. It is called the Smile of Sardiss, an ancient artefact of the Hung warlock-kings. For centuries it has fallen through the fingers of many owners, but for the last hundred years it has been worn by the dwarf lord Khorakk.’”

Lore Information Regarding the Northern Human Tribes

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

- Mammoths were once common creatures before the Slann brought the planet closer to the sun, warming the climate and driving back the frozen wastes.
- Northmen hunt mammoths and present their tusks in tribute to ambassadors.
- Northmen capture infant mammoths and raise them to serve them.
