Albion is a small, windswept island off the coast of Norsca in the Great Ocean. It is said that it rains every day in Albion, the islands are shrouded in mist and heavy fog and the land is predominantly bogs, marshes and fens. This damp and gloomy environment is inhabited by tribes of woad-wearing humans, led by Truthsayers, guardians of the mysterious Ogham Stones, and inhabited by creatures such as Giants and the strange Fimir. I had hoped to add these as a large minor faction, but there is very little lore for albion's human inhabitants beyond the Truthsayers. The Fimir would not ally with the inhabitants of Albion, but I'll add them to the list anyway. http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Albion
Tribal, Magical and Monstrous Regiments and Notables
Fimir Warlord = Listed on page 137 of the 3rd edition. “A fimir contingent must be led by a Fimir warlord unless a Meargh is present, in which case she may assume command instead.” https://www.scribd.com/doc/59162764/...sy-Armies-Book
Harbinger of Doom = "Legends of Dark Emissaries have abounded as long as there has been a language to convey the tales. They are traditionally portrayed as harbingers of doom who appear before lords on the eve of battle, offering service in exchange for petty tokens or trinkets." Due to Dark Emissaries acting as aides to Lords, I feel it is necessary to add a Lord version for them to use. This is not a named unit, but using a description of the Dark Emissaries, it works as a Lord version of the unit. Feel free to disregard this idea if you wish. http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Emissary
Meargh = Listed on page 138 of the 3rd edition. “The only female Fimir are the Meargh or ‘witch-hags’. They are revered as powerful spellcasters and rule the Fimir clans.” https://www.scribd.com/doc/59162764/...sy-Armies-Book
Javelin Throwers = ”The core of any Albion army comprises of nobles in chariots and warbands of warriors on foot, screened by youths armed with slings and javelins led by the local chieftain.” https://www.scribd.com/document/2759...-Armies-200900
Ochness Tribesmen = ”A tribe of the cave-dwelling natives has made its home in the hills nearby to Ochness, and its culture has been formed with Buuhn-yip playing a significant part. Young men travel to the lake as a rite-of-passage to manhood. In this test, the young man must walk slowly around the edge of the lake an hour before dawn. If the young man breaks into a run, he is dishonoured and will be outcast by the tribe. When he returns home, having not been taken by the Ochness monster, he is regarded as a man.” http://web.archive.org/web/200212270...er/ochness.htm
Ogres = ”Not quite so strong, but then again not quite so dim, are the bands of ogres which flock to join the armies of Albion - for a share of the loot and the chance to turn a former enemy into a quick snack!” https://www.scribd.com/document/2759...-Armies-200900
Slingers = ”The core of any Albion army comprises of nobles in chariots and warbands of warriors on foot, screened by youths armed with slings and javelins led by the local chieftain.” https://www.scribd.com/document/2759...-Armies-200900
Warriors of Carn Mallog = ”The folk of Carn Mallog were more bearish than wolvish, Felix decided. They were big men, burly and hard-faced. Their hair was long and shaggy, beards of almost dwarfish length sprouted from their faces, braided and twisted into all manner of fantastic patterns. Tattoos marked their cheeks and sword arms. Huge two-handed swords hung strapped to their backs. Long spears were clutched in their hands. Their clothes consisted of leather jerkins and woollen kilts. Long plaid cloaks covered the shoulders of most. Some had bearskins or wolfskins instead. They seemed to be the men of most importance.” Gotrek & Felix: Giantslayer by William King - Chapter 21

The people of Albion take great delight in this sight, for these birds are considered a great delicacy, and it seems the birds always return, no matter how many of their number are eaten” http://web.archive.org/web/200303061...er/bolahat.htm
Dragon = ”Many travel the length of Albion to take part in the Great Hunt, and at this time, the mountains echo with their bellowing cries of child-like excitement.

The hard carapace of these terrible monsters is virtually impenetrable to all but the sharpest blades.

Spectral apparitions stalk through the mist, refusing to give up their link to the physical realm, seeking the warmth of living bodies.” http://web.archive.org/web/200212270...leofwights.htm
Barrow Wights of Albion = ”The barrows themselves each house an ancient, long dead warrior of high standing and his elite bodyguard, entombed within to serve their lord for eternity.

Boglars = Also known as Marsh-Gnoblars or Swamp Goblins, Boglars are a breed of Gnoblars that live in marshes, bogs and swamps. Boglars look like any other Gnoblar though their skin is a greenish-grey and they have beady yellow eyes. They spend much of their time catching frogs, fish and other amphibious or reptilian critters, dissecting them with broken sticks and eating them alive. Although Boglars normally seem to affiliate only with other Boglars, Gnoblars and Goblins, a large tribe of Boglars in the Marshes of Madness have been rumoured to be in alliance with strange, cyclopean creatures.

Fimir Warriors are armoured with plates of spell-forged bronze fitted to their hunchbacked bodies and wield Baleglyph weapons in combat, either in the shape of great double-handed mauls, or single-handed maces and curving hatchets, held one in each hand.

The Oracle’s Maiden-Guard = ”The women were armed with spears and small leather shields. They did not look friendly. Felix wondered why they pointed their spears at him so menacingly. Had he not helped save them? Had he not killed orcs? He kept very still anyway. Mistakes get made. Misunderstandings can easily be fatal when there are weapons involved.” Gotrek & Felix: Giantslayer by William King - Chapter 18

Re: Information Thread for Potential New Albion Units
Special and Named Characters
Here is contained a full list of every possible Legendary Lord or Legendary Hero that I could find for Albion. I have split them into different categories for 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.
Albion

Faction Leader
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Unga-Er, Chieftain of Albion = ”Those native people of Albion who travel to Bol-a-Hat gape in awe at the advancements made by their countrymen, and they walk around the man-made huts in wide-eyed astonishment, pointing and hooting. They are particularly impressed with the dwelling of the Unga-Er, translating to 'Big Woman', the self-proclaimed female chieftain of Bol-a-Hat and Albion as a whole.” http://web.archive.org/web/200303061...er/bolahat.htm
Lords
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Bran MacKerog = ”Murdo led a huge bear of a man over towards them and swiftly made the introductions. It turned out the man’s name was Bran MacKerog, chieftain of the men of Carn Mallog. There was no warmth in the greetings he gave them, only suspicion and perhaps a wary respect.” From Carn Mallog. Gotrek & Felix: Giantslayer by William King - Chapter 21
The Oracle = ”Her mouth sprang shut like a steel trap as if she had just realised what she had said. A flush, visible even in the dim light, passed beneath her facial tattoos. A moment later Felix understood why. The old woman to whom she had been talking had eyes of milky white. She was quite obviously blind. This old woman was quite plainly a witch of some sort. He sensed the old woman’s attention sliding away from him and took the opportunity to study her. She was a tall woman, sharp faced, but still beautiful. Her robes were of thick grey wool. Her braids were even more complex than Siobhain’s. There were tattoos on her face too, but they had faded to near invisibility, like markings on parchment that has been left too long in the sun.” Gotrek & Felix: Giantslayer by William King - Chapter 20
Heroes
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Culum = ”Culum looked capable of uprooting treestumps with his bare hands. His muscles bulged, sweat beaded his brow. Slowly but surely, the Slayer’s arm was forced backward. The tribesmen cheered louder. The smile on the human’s face widened. Gotrek took a slug of whisky with his free hand, and grinned, showing his rotten teeth. The movement of his arm towards the table slowed and stopped. Felix was amazed that he could hold it at that angle. Culum grinned back and pushed harder. Great cables of sinew writhed in his arm and neck.” From Crannog Mere Gotrek & Felix: Giantslayer by William King - Chapter 13
Laera, Chieftain of the Oracle’s Maiden-Guard = ”She had been young and lithe and she had died from a spear in the back. Judging from the bloody foam on her lips, it looked like she had drowned in her own blood. A spear lay near her cold, clutching fingers.” Gotrek & Felix: Giantslayer by William King - Chapter 18
Bologs = "Greatest of all the Giants of Albion is Bologs. He is worshipped as a god by the primitive, cave-dwelling tribes of Albion, who have carved his image into the chalk hills of their land, brandishing his mighty chopper. Awesome though he is, Bologs' intellect is dim, even for a Giant of Albion." https://i.imgur.com/DDy6RVZ.pngWhite Dwarf 233 https://i.imgur.com/eieOWQX.pngWhite Dwarf 233
Cachtorr = "The next greatest Giant in Albion is Cachtorr, twin brother of the mighty Bologs. He is slightly more intellgent than Bologs and is able to understand the speech of the Druids. It was Cachtorr who fought against the mighty Dong and his mate, Mae-Dong, two terrible Giants from the far north of Albion. This legendary fight lasted for several hundred years and involved hurling huge boulders whenever the mist cleared long enough for one Giant to see the other." https://i.imgur.com/DDy6RVZ.pngWhite Dwarf 233 https://i.imgur.com/eieOWQX.pngWhite Dwarf 233

Re: Information Thread for Potential New Albion Units
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.
Treescuttle = ”‘Aye – saw a man bit once. Before he could be treated his arm had swelled and turned black and bloated with the venom. We had to amputate. Still he died, raving about daemons and fiends. Some of the other shamans and wizards collect the venom, and use it in small quantities to bring on visions.” Gotrek & Felix: Giantslayer by William King - Chapter 14
Magic Weapons
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Basilisk Blade = ”Even after death the bones of a Basilisk poison the world around them, exuding a foul aura that can putrefy flesh and corrode metal. Weapons fashioned from the rancid bones recovered from Basilisk remains are terrifyingly deadly, but thankfully rare as they are just as deadly to their wielders as they are to their victims.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
Cold Iron Blade = ”Ancient lore claims that only iron weapons shaped without the use of fire can harm the spirits that infest certain regions of the world. Only the strongest of smiths can perform such a feat, hammering the metal into shape with brute strength before such artefacts are enchanted. Though the results are always crudely shaped, their potency against the ephemeral creatures is unquestionable.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
Death Killing Splat Swotter = ”Death Killing Splat Swotter is the biggest double handed sword you have ever seen. It is as tall as a man and can easily cleave someone in two or three bits.” http://i.imgur.com/i3oxhI2.jpg
Reaper Sword = ”This mighty sword is sharper than a razor. Its keen blade glistens in the flickering torchlight, and even in the shadows It shimmers with an eerie light.” https://i.imgur.com/A1B8vkx.pngWhite Dwarf Issue 187
Staff of Light = Adds to dispell rolls. Counts as a halberd. Truthsayer only. https://i.imgur.com/1greAK8.pngWarhammer Chronicle 2003
The Lash of Itzaotyl = ”Used by the servants of the Old Ones to subdue the massive beasts that stalked the world at the dawn of time, the ancient Last of Itzaotyl ensnares all it touches with an unbreakable tendril of pure magical essence. Since its theft from the Lizardmen, by the daughters of Naggaroth millennia ago, it has known many masters and current whereabouts are unknown.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
Arcane Items

Battle Stone of Le Marquis = ”Michel d’un Doigt was a Bretonnian wizard famous for the nine enchanted gem stones he created. The Battle Stone is a glimmering red ruby that fills its bearer with vigour and energy.” https://i.imgur.com/AGceWtm.pngWhite Dwarf Issue 194
Bufo’s Hex Scroll = ”This scroll may be used to cancel out the spell of an enemy wizard and turn him into a toad.” https://i.imgur.com/XIAKWjB.pngWhite Dwarf Issue 194
Freezing Death Spell Jewel = ”This jewel is carved of ice that never melts, and is freezing to the touch. When its power is invoked, it releases a lethal blast of icy shards at the Wizard’s foes.” https://i.imgur.com/WcvB14W.pngWhite Dwarf Issue 187
Lifestone of Ashraaz = ”The Lifestone of Ashraaz is a jet black gem that is worn round the neck of its bearer. When invoked, a beam of light shoots out of the stone and bathes the bearer and his opponent in a pool of yellow light. When the light fades the bearer’s wounds have been magically transferred to his enemy.” https://i.imgur.com/O9IGyJF.pngWhite Dwarf Issue 194
Power Stone of Le Marquis = ”Michel d’un Doigt was a powerful Bretonnian wizard who laboured long and hard to create a series of enchanted gem stones for use by the chivalric knights of that realm.” https://i.imgur.com/AGceWtm.pngWhite Dwarf Issue 194
The Mystic Shield of Brag = ”This scroll of parchment contains a powerful anti-magic enchantment that may be used by a wizard to block the spell of an enemy spellcaster.” https://i.imgur.com/XIAKWjB.pngWhite Dwarf Issue 194
Talisman
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Faithless Charm = ”The degenerate Ettin hill clans have been known to hang these small craven charms in the dismal northern woods, warding away those who would trespass on the Ettin’s miserable existence. Each is an embodiment of the unholy curse that afflicts the very souls of the Ettin. Those foolish enough to carry one with them for any length of time find their senses sharpened - until they lose control and the curse consumes them too.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
Fimir-skin Cloak = ”The skin of a fimir is gnarled, making it tough to work with. But to a dedicated artificer, a cloak fashioned from such a pelt is resistant to any blade.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA
The Pinion of the Phoenix = ”These ephemeral feathers, plucked from the burning wings of a manifested phoenix and woven into a talisman, are preserved by the arts of ancient Elf magic. Handed down through generations of High Elf nobility, they are borne into the direst of battles as badges of honour, swiftly burning away to dust once removed from their protective caves. While they last they protect their bearer from harm, and should he fall grant him a fiery reprieve from death.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
Warpscale Pendant = ”Crafted from the deformed scales of a Warpfire Dragon, these eerily worked talismans are the product not of twisted Skaven ingenuity as some suspect but rather of some unseen agency believed to be connected to the ruling cabals of the Tilean City-states. Ensorcelled to protect the wearer against weapons fuelled by warpstone, many Skaven wizards covet such items as a measure against assassination by their own kind - though the fear Warpfire Dragon’s cause among the warpstone-laden holds of the Skaven keeps them rare.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
Magic Armour
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Scintillating Shield = ”In the ancient legends of Estalia, retold so many times in their origin is now forgotten, heroes would be gifted with shields which were so highly polished they blinded their foes and deflected the deadly gaze of the Basilisks and Cockatrice that were the scourge of that Land in ancient days. Scintillating Shields, whether they be the items spoken of in legend or more recent creations wrought by wizard-craft, fetch a prince’s ransom when rumours of Basilisk or Cockatrice attack spread.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
Wyrmscale Armour of the Deep = ”A glistening coat of Merwyrm scales, the enchantment on this armour keeps it coated with a shimmering Layer of briny sea water. Not only do the iron-hard scales deflect sword and arrow, but the scales still recall their home in the icy deeps of the ocean and grant their wearer passage through water and foil fiery assaults upon him.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
Magic Standard
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Lucky Magic Totem Pole = ”This long wooden pole is covered in skulls and other totems to bring good luck.” http://i.imgur.com/i3oxhI2.jpg
Sacrificial Banner = ”Covered with arcane patterns daubed in blood and draped in ornate sigils and charms the Sacrificial Banner looks impressive, but its real purpose is rarely explained to those troops ‘honoured’ with its care. It is enchanted with the sole purpose of enraging and attracting the ire of the gigantic monsters that prowl the Warhammer world, so that a canny general can dictate the movement of his enemy’s most powerful ally.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
Kadon’s Scrolls of Binding
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

All manner of spells and items dormant for decades suddenly crackle into vibrant life, eager to have their power unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Chief among these are Kadon’s Scrolls of Binding; each scroll was crafted with a particular beast in mind. These came from the Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum, in the chart in that book it listed each monster for each faction as either Abhorrent, Binding Scroll or Kinship, these monsters here are all but those that are Abhorrent to this faction.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Dawnstar Sword = ”Legend goes that this blade was forged in the first rays of light to strike the world. The energy of this auspicious enchantment remains embedded deep within the burnished blade, waiting to be called forth once more in a blaze of glory.” 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.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic
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…” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic
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.” 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.” 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…” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic
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
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
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.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic
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.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic
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.” https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic
Arabyan Puzzlebox = ”This elegantly crafted container houses many hundreds of glittering gemstones, each with the power to harness the Winds of Magic if used in the correct manner. Alas, the user can never truly be sure that the compartment he has opened will contain the gems he needed.” 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
Silverstone Axe = ”In the ancient barrows that dot the Empire, huge enchanted axes forged of gromril, known to ancient men as Silverstone, have been found. Inert until the storms of magic howl, these axes are so heavy that only the strongest warriors can lift them and then impact shakes the ground, knocking armoured warriors from their feet while against wizards their effects are even more potent as the winds of magic lash and recoil at their blows. When a storm of magic rages these weapons are brought to the battlefield once again to bring down the titanic beasts set loose upon the world.” - Magic Weapon https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
The Crucible of Horrors = ”No one knows from whence the Crucible of Horrors came, but contained within the flash of twisted meteoric iron is a vortex of seething black energy which screams like the torment of damned souls. This deadly artefact has been sought out by many down the centuries, and it has passed through the hands of many tyrants, arch-sorcerers, wizards and kings, and at its use the destruction of cities and slaughter of armies has been laid. When unleashed the power of the crucible is erratic and dangerously unstable, but it can unleash devastation and even create nightmarish doppelgangers of slain monsters to fight at the wielder’s bidding. The power of the Crucible of Horrors is treacherous however, as more than one would be conqueror has found to their cost.” - Enchanted Items https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
The White Sistrum = ”There are many night-haunted legends originating from the foetid jungles and deadly wastes of the far hinterlands of Khuresh. Stories abound of the dread Snake Men and the foul and nightmarish Blood Naga queens who rule there, and it is a realm where men are no more than hunted prey, and blood and souls are the only coin in trade. Rarely do artefacts of this fell civilisation reach the Old World and all are steeped in blood and misunderstood power. One such artefact is the White Sistrum, a strange ivory-grown, drum shaped like an hourglass, whose discordant music brings madness and death, and evokes the terrible rites of the Naga.” - Arcane Item https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGcMonstrous Arcanum
