by Tuomas Pirinen and Tommy Boyd ‘The prolific Mr. Pirinen is 23 years old, and hails from Helsinki, Finland, He has an unhealthy fascination ‘with Warhammer in which he has fielded High Blf, Dwarf and Bretonnian Armies since 1985. He also thoroughly enjoys Epic and Necromunda. Eastern European history has long been Tuomas’ passion and so it is no wonder that when he decided to write a Warhammer Army List, it was the Imperial Army of Kislev. ‘Tuomas first met Tommy Boyd of the Internet, and they have since become long-time friends. Tommy, who is from Chigaco, USA is also a Warhammer player, fielding a large Empire Army. With Tommy's help Tuomas ‘was finally able to realise his dream and finish the Army List you see before you.car at re re G of eae KIS CHE LAND Of KISLE K= is a land of wind-bitten steppes, ancient forests and great mountains. ‘The rule of the throne of Kislev extends well over the World’s Edge mountains into provinces known as the ‘Zaborata’ or Farside. ‘The Boyars of the Farside are very independant however, and this is not surprising because the passes over the mountain are open only during the peak of the summer season. The regions of Kislev can be roughly divided into three regions: Tundra, Taiga and Wetlands. THE REGIONS The Tundra is the northernmost part of Kislev. Itis a land inhabited by the creatures of Chaos and many castles made of black stone harbour the enemies of mankind. Only Cossack patrols and the most fearless of the Sibyrians come here to seek information and wealth in this, frozen part of the Old World. ‘The Taiga is an area where the great forests of Kislev grow. The famous Kislevite timber comes from this region, as well as bear hides acquired by Sibyrian hunters. Occasionally, Chaos warbands penetrate the defences of the borders and scattered Cossack tribes gather to oust these invaders. This is Cossack land and SS Ness Ga ce wom \ To WASTES e. ell Fit (Gkaven ait) TROLL BPR castur country AL mxitbnduoy) lo VAS ae eee goon " the enemies of Kislev must pay a heavy price if they wish to pass through and defile the homeland. The Wetlands, or ‘Dobryion’ as the Kislevites call it, is the area where the cities and villages of Kislev are situated and it is the area of Kislev best known to the rest of the Old World. Thi a rich land and the fields yield a bountiful harvest. The region is the main target for the armies of Chaos as they strike south and if the Wetlands should be taken and the cities of Kislev fall, all of the Old World would be in grave danger. CHE RIVERS There are two great rivers that flow through the lands of Kislev: the Urskoy and the Lynsk, is The Urskoy is the river that makes the fields of Kislev fruitful and allows Kislevite ships to be built in the capital. Tt is a mighty river, which joins the Reik at Altdorf. The barges of Kislev use this river to navigate through the Empire where exotic wares like vodka and the famous Kislevite duelling pistols fetch a good price. In the middle of the river Urskoy stands a lonely cliff, covered only by wild moss and lichen,that juts out to astonishing heights. The only person to ever reach its remote summit is the Cossack leader Stepan Rasin. Today, the cliff bears his name and when the waves of the Urskoy speak to one another at night , they are sure to mention Ataman (Cossack Chief) Stepan Rasin, the great hero of Kislev. The Lynsk is the border river of Kislev. To the north of this mighty flow lies the Tundra, the disputed area claimed by both Kislev and the forces of Kislev. Kislev forces also calll it by the name ‘Sanguisov’ or The Stream of Blood. On its banks and bridges Kislevites have waged many a desperate and bitter battle against the hordes of Chaos and it symbolises the Kislevites struggle against their eternal foe. THE CITY STATES The architecture of Kislev is unique in that most of the buildings are only one or two stories high, marking them in stark contrast to the many temples and palaces. These ornate public buildings are decorated with cupolas gilded with pure gold and the temples are equipped with a multitude of bells. On great festival days these bells all peal in unison and their song echoes for miles around. Beastmen are known to fear and loathe this sound and they hide in their secluded camps deep in the forest during these festivals. The Kislevite masons are famed throughout the Old World. Since the cities of Kislev stand as a bulwark against Chaos, masonry is a very practical profession and a stonemason whose battlements are taken in an enemy attack will undoubtably find further work hard to come by. Kislev, the capital of the nation, stands on the banks of the River Urskoy, and is built around ‘Gora Geroyev’, also known as the ‘Kreml’, or Hill of Heroes. Kislev is a fortress city, for the realm of Chaos draws nearer every year and many valiant Kislevites are buried every day in the red soil of the Kreml. There is always a sizeable contingent of Dwarfs who have journeyed from their homes in the Empire and their racial homes to work tirelessly on strengthening the defences. “Jf you want to meet a true Hero, go to the graveyard of the Kreml.” Traditional Kislevite proverb The Capital is the true heart of the Kislevite people. Here are the Mausoleums of the Tzars and Tzarinas of old and the great Temples of Taal and Ulric stand near the great cupolas of the Kreml. The great parade that celebrates the victory of Kislev over Chaos is held every other year and is the greatest celebration in the land, The city is not only the base of the military might of Kislev. Painters, writers and poets walk the streets near the distinguished University of Kislev and great philosophers struggle with the questions of life and death with the most learned of priests. Architects from around the world gather here to marvel at the great golden domes of the great palaces and temples. It is a beautiful city full of wonders and an endless source of pride to the many people of Kislev. During the last great Chaos incursion, the once beautiful city of Praag was completely overrun by the forces of Chaos. The twisted minions of the four dark powers breached the defences of the city and put the inhabitants to the sword. Those few who survived by fleeing into the surrounding woods returned to find their homes twisted by Chaos. Buildings had melded with flesh, forming a disturbing and sickening visage of horror. The Tzar of Erengrad ordered the city razed to the ground and plans were drawn up for its rebuilding, This was done, but the visage of Chaos returned. Travellers tell tales in hushed tones of cries of agony that pierced the night , and faces that appeared in the walls of buildings to consume the unwary with savage ferocity. The citizens of Praag must often burn down and rebuild their homes to retain some small measure of sanity. They refuse, however, to move away, for they feel that this would mean giving in to their most hated enemy - Chaos. The current Tzar, Saltan, spends his time drilling his militia and dreaming of the revenge he will one day inflict on the spawn of Chaos. The Kislevite Seaport of Erengrad is one of the largest trading cities in the Old World, second only in size and importance to Marienburg, boasting produce including whale oil, sea ivory, timber, pearls, tar and fish. The sleek vessels of the High Elves often visit here, daring the dangers of the Northern seas which are polluted by the foul touch of Chaos. Traders from Bretonnia, Marienburg and the Empire also travel to this vibrant city which is located in a lagoon at the head of the River Lynsk, 1 Jo oq @ AVI D°ADCastle Alexandronov stands to the North of Erengrad, on the borders of the Troll country. Construction of the castle was originally ordered by the great Tzar Alexandr Njevski. He chose the site guided by a dream in which Boris Ursa, the Forever Tzar of Kislev, directed him to build a great stronghold for Kislev, or else the land would be lost ina war against the greatest evil of all. Alexandr travelled across the lands of Kislev for two years, until he recognised the site from his dream. Near the Troll Country stood a great cliff, some five hundred feet tall, and on the highest point he found the cool stream of clear water that Boris Ursa had shown to him. Here was built a gigantic fortress with seven walls and a massive keep. Dwarfs hired from the northern holds worked ceaselessly for over a decade and the Ice Mages, led by Tzarina Olga, cast great enchantments over it. This effort severely 10 depleted the treasury of Kislev, and many Boyars and Chalnekhniks ‘opposed it bitterly, claiming that the castle served no purpose. The coming of Chaos was to prove how wrong they were. Castle Alexanronov does not block the route of the rampaging Chaos hordes Indeed, that would be an impossible task, since the northern Kislevite border stretches many hundreds of miles, most of it windswept plain. Rather, the castle attracts the worshippers of the four dark Gods like a candle attracts moths Arrogant Chaos Lords regard the land where the castle stands as their property and to have a Kislevite fortress on their land enrages them to a reckless frenzy. Year after year, Chaos warbands gather here and throw themselves forward in futile attempts to scale the fifty foot walls. No known war-machine can breach the enchanted true-steel gate and even assaults by the most determined Chaos Warriors have failed to breach even the first wall. The number of Beastmen skulls and those of other creatures that are spiked on the fortresses walls grows monthly. Castle Alexandronov has never been taken. It is one of the most formidable fortresses in the Old World, rivalling even the great Dwarf strongholds. During the Great War against Chaos the castle was attacked six times and some of the most bitter fighting of the entire campaign was fought in its colossal shadow. ‘The castle tied up a considerable part of the ‘Chaos horde and it is without doubt that it was instrumental in the defeat of Chaos during that dark time. The castle is constantly manned by the most fanatical defenders of Kislev and each man who aspires to join either the Kreml Guard or Gryphon Legion must first serve here for a period of six months. A Kislevite youth canusually expect to see at least two seiges during his service and can bear witness to the foulness ‘of Chaos with his own eyes. The castle is an important symbol for the people of Kislev, signifyintg their resolution to stand firm against ‘any enemy. ThE PEOPLE OF KISLEV The mainstay of the people of Kislev are Gospodars: tall, broad-shouldered, blonde or red-haired people with deep voices. They are quiet and grim in the face of outsiders, but are very sentimental people with a deep love for both their families and their land. The Gospodar women are famed for their beauty, and are viewed as equals to men. There is no reason that a woman cannot rise to a position of power within the government and the bloodline is traced by the mother’s side. Most Gospodar women stay at home, but in the family their authority is absolute and far above that of a man. Most powerful sorcerors are women, and many tales have been told of Baba Yaga, probably the most powerful Witch of all time. Kislevites love music and their dances, especially the ‘Blade Dance’ which is famous throughout the Old World. Their battlesongs are among the most impressive sounds in the known world and the dreaded warcry "URAAA! URAAA" is feared wherever it is heard. To the North of the civilised areas of Kislev allies the Taiga. It is a lawless and inhospitable land, riddled with foul creatures from the Chaos Wastes. Only the toughest of men survive in this cold and harsh land and one might ask why any man would wish to travel this godsforsaken land, but the answer is simple: the animals of the Taiga bear the finest fur in the known world and the rewards are great for those that survive. The men of the Taiga are known as Sibyrians and are a huge, bearded, silent folk. Their appearance and language have a distinctly eastern influence, but whatever their origin they are brave and stubborn and are valued as scouts and foresters, of which they have no worldly equal, in the armies of Kislev. Cossacks are nomadic people who live in the far North. Riders and scouts without peer, these brave warriors have always stood as Kislev’s first line of defence against the wrath of Chaos. Year after year, a war of ambush and counter-ambush is fought with the Cossacks oft times victorious. Even when faced with overwhelming odds their hatred for the forces of Chaos often pulls them through. Huns, the most primitive and savage of all peoples of Kislev, are little more than animals. They file their teeth, scar their bodies and enter battle in a state of berserk fury. They are a cannibalistic and vicious race, but none the less, fearless in the defence of their land. No opponent wishes to be captured by the Huns, for his fate will be worse than death, THE HISTORY OF KISLEV The history of Kislev reaches back almost 1,000 years, from the times when the hordes of Gospodars finally arrived over the World’s Edge Mountains in strength. The Empire, which for years had been torn between internal, strife, was too weak to hold its Northernmost provinces. When the Empire finally gathered its strength, the Gospodars had already established their realm. Emperor Dieter Ii realised that the Empire would benefit from this bulwark against Chaos and the barbarous Norse and so formed an alliance with Tzar Alexandr I Since then, Kislev and the Empire have enjoyed a strong alliance with each other and indeed often send allied troops to aid their partners in their hour of need. A notable example of this is the Gryphon Legion, a regiment based in the Empire that includes many of the noblest sons of Kilsev. With Norse armies and the dread hordes of Chaos threatening the borders of Kislev, the armies of Kislev are many and powerful. The realm is in a state of continual warfare and the people have grown hard in the face of their trials. The last great Chaos incursion also overran the Old World and it was stopped only by the valiant efforts of the Kislevites who, supported by Dwarfs and a mighty army led by Magnus the Pious, barely turned back the tide of Chaos 200 years ago. The current ruler of Kislev is Tzarina Katarin, who rose to the throne following the mysterious death of her father, Radii Bokha. The city-states of Kislev, Erengrad and Praag are independant realms, but they still owe fealty to the ruler of Kislev.IMPORTANT EVENTS IN KISLEVITE HISTORY Imperial Year 1500 1512 1515 1500- 1600 1602 1605 2099 2100 2120 2134 2247 2302 Boris Ursa leads the Kislevite hordes over the World’s Edge mountains and declares the Northern lands as the Kingdom of the Kislevites.

The of = supplies were all spent, each and every arrow was shot and a full three quarters of the population bad been lost, either in battle or as a result ‘famine or disease. Yet the defenders, common Kislevites who Boyar Dimitri Pavlovych bad hastily gathered upon bearing of the approaching Chaos 2 warband, were as resolute as ever. The next attack, however, they knew would be the final one. There would be no survivors, still they battled on. In the midnight bour, a lonely rider strode to the gates of Stravtrosgrad. Clad in black armour covered in blazing runes, the guards recognised him at once from the tales of the elders. He was Albrecht Gensber, once a brave knight of the Reiksguard but now brought low by bis insatiable thirst for tbe pleasure of battle. This was the Butcher of Slaanesb. A merciless, cruel weapon of terror in the band of the Prince of Chaos. Boyar Dimitri rose to the battlements to bear what his opponent had to say. Albrecht raised bis open palm to show that be was bere to talk, not fight, and spoke with a powerful, metallic voice, ‘Warriors! Slaanesh is impressed with your battle prowess ! We are bere to negotiate surrender.” “Nye!” answered Dimitri. His eyes were drawn and tired, but there was no fear in them, just cold fury. “We do not bave room to keep you all as prisoners ‘ Astonished, Albrecht turned away. Those ‘men were doomed to die, and horribly so. Why woidld they resist him? Albrecht raised bis bands and bis followers Stocked to bim; misshapen Beastmen, slavering Hounds of Chaos, renegades from buman society and tbe Chaos Warriors of Albrecbt’s retinue, Following the orders of their leader, the minions of Chaos readied themselves to ‘attack. Battering rams were brought fortb, carried by muscular Beastmen selected by Albrecbt. Scaling ladders and ropes tipped with hooks were distributed amongst the bloodthirsty murderers who vied for a chance to assault the bapless town, As the first rays of sun lightened the borizon, Albrecht was ready. But just as be prepared to signal the attack, sometbing caught bis Daemon-keen ears. The beating of hooves! “The Cossacks are coming” whispered somebody, and soon this was picked up by others. “The Cossacks are coming!” There were shouts of joy. “THE COSSACKS ARE COMING!” The earth thundered beneath the iron-sbod hooves of Cossack horses. Nimble warriors drew their bowstrings at full gallop. Many a saddle was decorated with the skulls af eaten. Cold, unforauin fry bone in the ees ofthe brave Cossacks as they readied bemselues ora charge, owing the banner of their Ataman, Stepan Rasin.

Albrecht bellowed his battle cry as be drew bis sword. "Send them «all before the Lord of Pleasure! We shall bave a bed of skulls today!” It was then that Albrecht noticed bis band was trembling. Puzzled, be waved bis sword in the air, but bis awful Daemon-bound blade felt heavier than ever before. For the first time in bis life, Albrecht felt the cold hand of fear touching him. ROA BRR MR ReBear be Great of tl — eo g ss) 1 > Che Imperial Army of Risle ‘The army of the Tzars has a long and honourable history and its tribal origins are still evident in many of its units, adding a splash of colour and character to the ‘grim ranks of the Imperial Army of Kislev Unlike most nations of the Old World, the main strength of the Army of Kislev is the levies and citizens of Kislev instead of professional warriors an mercenaries. Because the threat of their enemies is evident to each and every one of the Kislevites, they are willing and motivated soldiers, who know that they are defending their homes and families. This does not ‘mean that there are no professional soldiers in Kislev, uite the opposite, as the Kreml Guard, Brotherhood of the Bear and Streltsi are some of the most famed human soldiers of the Old World Stil, most of the defenders of Mother Kislev are tribal warriors who gather to repel an invasion or man the border fortresses when called upon. Every village and settlement of Kislev has a training ground and archer field, and most cities of Kislev hold special riding. competitions for skilled young raiders so they can hone the most important skill of a Kislevite, horsemanship. When Kislevites go to war there are two types of combat at which they excel: guerilla warfare and open field bat Syberians, Cossacks, and the Horse Archers of the smaller tribes often mount daring skirmishes and wild saids against their enemy using their great mobility and. missile cover to cause the maximum amount of damage to the enemy supply lines and siege trains, and then flee before any pursuit is possible. Sometimes, by the direct order of the Tzar or Tzarina, they are supported by an elite force of carefully selected men and women who follow the direct orders of the ruler of Kislew When a particularly large and powerful enemy force threatens Kislev’s borders, these tactics are insufficient and cannot be expected to stop the enemy. At such times, the ruling Tzar or Tzarina calls together the Sbor Soldatov, or the “Gather of the Soldiery.” Subsequently, the great capitol of Kislev clad themselves in steel and linen as itis tradition amongst the people of the North that a soldier must be dressed in their finest garb when riding to face their death. When all the able-bodied men of Kislev have gathered around Gora Geroyev, the Tzar or Tzarina receives the ovation of his or her forces and rides to meet the enemy oon the battlefield The battle tactics of the Kislevites are brutal but effective, as they are a numerous people who are not afraid to die. The Kislevites prefer a massed charge that is supported by war machines and missile forces. The 24 cavalry, mounted nobles like the Druzhina, Winged Lancers and the Gryphon Legion engages the cream of the enemy forces while their flanks are protected by the infantry regiments armed with spears. The dreaded Urugan Cannons are brought forward, protected by the best infantry regiments like the Kreml Guard and Streltsi. The guns open fire at close range as the infantry charges on, bearing down upon the hapless enemy While the price in blood is often very high in such battles, the Kislevites have enjoyed considerable success with these tactics Some of the troops and regiments of Kislev have colourful histories and deserve a closer look. THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE BEAR ‘Tzarina Taira Pavlovna formed this unusual knightly order four centuries ago as an answer to the pleas ofthe Kislevites who lived on the borderlands and were constantly harassed by marauding Orcs and Chaos Warriors. These men were trained in ambush and guerilla warfare and their superior equipment and Careful training have guaranteed many great victories during the years, DRUZHINA During the Great War of Chaos, the Tzar Alexis lost the two armies he sent to fight the gigantic Chaos army that threatened to engulf the world. In a desperate bid for fresh troops, he promised to free any man from taxes who could bring a horse and weapons. This proved to bea success, as later battles demonstrated Today, the arrangement differs slightly from the original edict of the Tzar Alexis. The blue- blooded men who can ride to war when the ruler of Kislev calls are freed from taxes for one year each time the Tzar summons them. These men are known as Druzhina, and their flexibility and diverse equipment is valued by the Kislevite generals. THE WINGED LANCERS ‘The famous Winged Lancers of Kislev are the younger sons of Boyars and Nachalnik. It is their duty to be ever-prepared for war, as such occurrences aré all too common in Kislev. They are professional soldiers of a sort, young noblemen who wish not to run estates, but to defend Mother Kislev. They are respected by the citizens of Kislev and enjoy honour far beyond their rather modest rank, Each larger Kislevite settlement is obliged to uphold a force e of Winged Lancers and such regiments are the pride of each province and city. Their standards have ‘usually seen many battles and the loyalty of these men to their flag is fanatical. The famed feathered wings of these knights is an invention of the great warrior Tzar Alexandr Njevski, whose winged back banner emmited an eerie how! that no Chaos worshipper could endure. THE KREML GUARD The Kreml Guard was formed on the orders of the dreaded and insane Tzar Igor the Terrible. He was such a paranoid ruler that he saw traitors and assassins inever shadowy corner, and thus he felt that he needed to be guarded day and night. While his bloody regime is only a dark legend now, the Kreml Guard endures to this day and a position in this black-clad regiment is, much sought after. TRIBAL WARRIORS Cossacks, Syberians and the smaller tribes like the Tartars, Ungols and Kiddishes are nomadic people that do not support any permanent settlements. Thus they do not have any organised troops. The skill of arms, however, is very highly valued by these men and no young tribesman will neglect a chance to train with these weapons. The Cossacks swiftly master the scimitar and the spear, while the Syberians favour the Kandra, the dreaded close-range combat knife, along with their bows, STRELTSI Firearms were brought to Kislev by the famed Prince Boydinov of Erengrad who also invented the game called Kislevite Roulette that is unfortunately popular among the nobility of Kislev. In his last will, Prince Boydinov ordered that a considerable part of his fortune be used for the upkeep of a regiment of Hand Gunners This tradition endures today, but because Kislev is a poor country, only the city of Erengrad is able to support a regiment of Streltsi, THE SONS OF URSA No other regiment in the Imperial army of Kislev typifies them more than the Sons of Ursa, Heavily armoured knights atop War Bears, they are a symbol of Kislev itself. They venture forth from their fortress monastery in times of great need to take their place at the front of the army as their most feared and respected This list tells you the proportion of your points you may spend on character models, regiment par machines and allies. This ensures that your army and that of your opponent are reasonably balanced, and doesn’t consist entirely of cannons or Lord characters CHARACTERS The points allowance which you are permitted to spend on characters includes the value of their armour and weapons, any magic items they have and a steed or monster if they are mounted. It also includes the points paid for champions of regiments.

Since those times, Kislevite armies have often been accompanied by great flights of these majestic birds and they regard this as a sign of divine favour. The hawks are swift fighters with sharp talons and guided by the magic of Miska, they attack the enemies of Kislev with great fury, screeching their terrifying screams as they descend upon their enemies.

In the far north, however, the Great Bears have always been the rulers of the wild.; here they are the king of beasts. It is thus no wonder that the bear is the chosen decoration of the banners of the Taars. 4 Many of the nomadic tribes of the steppes worship a great bear-like spirit as a god. When they hunt bears, they perform many rituals to calm the spirit of the beast, lest it haunt them ever after For the Kislevites, the bear symbolises not only strength but also authority and nobility.. For a Kislevite, to be called a bear is a great honour. Indeed it is worth noting that such is the reverence attached to these magnificent beasts that only three even of the Tzars of Kislev have ever been named after a bear. ‘The Great Bears of Kislev are truly a sight to behold larger and more powerful looking than other bears from around the Old World. These great creatures are ridden to war by the noble Sons of Ursa, the greatest warriors of the Kislevite army.

Because of this unfriendly atmosphere, the use of gunpowder weapons has always been rather limited. The Urugan Cannon or “Alexandrs’ Organ” as Kislevites call it, is a notable exception. The Urugan Cannon, named for the sharp, screeching sound that it makes when fired, is a lightweight cannon that works ‘on the same principal as the Repeater Weapons of the Empire. It consists of several light, small barrels and a carriage that includes a protective screen for the crew and four wheels that enable the crew to move it from place to place quickly. The Urugan Cannon shoots a Virtual hail of lead shot, filing the air with whistling death. While much of the gun’s ammunition is wasted and the power of the Urugan Cannon is less than that of| ‘a regular cannon, itis almost impossible for the target to avoid being hit. Because the Urugan Cannon can accompany the main units as they advance upon the ‘enemy, itis much favoured by Kislevite Generals who are famous for their aggressive tactics MOVEMENT Because of its light construction and wheels, the crew can move the Urugan Cannon at their normal movement rate. Indeed the Urugan Cannon is so maneuverable that it can even make march moves, providing it has a full crew of three. The Urugan Cannon may not move and shoot in the same turn FIRING THE URUGAN CANNON The procedure for firing the Urugan Cannon is as, follows. First nominate your target and turn the gun to face it as you would a cannon. Measure the range to determine the strength of any hits. Roll the Artillery dice marked 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and MISFIRE. The number rolled is the number of hits scored on the target. Because some of the power of the shot is lost, the strength of any hits is reduced when firing at over half range. Once you have determined the number of successful hits, roll to wound as normal. Refer to the "To Wound” chart to determine the roll needed to wound, and roll one die per hit as you would for missile hits, The Urugan Cannon has a strength of 6 at short range and a strength of 4 at long range. Normal throw modifiers apply: -3 at short range and -1 atlong range. PROFILES Urugan Cannons are solidly built from iron and wood, and can sustain considerable damage as shown. The profiles below summarise the abilities of the Urugan Cannon, Strength Save 6 3 4 a Moy ‘Toughness Wounds ~~ AsCrew 3 MISFIRES. Ifyou roll a ‘misfire’ result then something has gone wrong, with potentially devastating results. Roll a D6 and consult the chart below 35 URUGAN CANNON MISFIRE CHART Dé — Result 1-2 DESTROYED! The weapon explodes in a spectacular show of light and sound. ‘The Urugan Cannon is destroyed and the crew are slain. OVERHEATED. One of the barrels overheats and partially melts, preventing the Urugan Cannon from firing this tur, and in addition reduces hits caused by the Urugan Cannon by 2 in following turns. MAY NOT SHOOT. A minor fault prevents the Urugan Cannon from firing. The cannon is unharmed and may shoot as normal next turn. SHOOTING AT THE URUGAN CANNON Because of the protective screen on the Gun, and the special training of the crew, any hits from missile fire are randomly allocated between the gun and the crew {as shown on the chart below. For each hit scored, roll a separate dice and then resolve damage against the target that has been hit. The Urugan Cannon does NOT count as a large target for the purposes of shooting. Ifit is hit by a template weapon, follow the normal procedures (ie - any target under the template is potentially hit. Dé roll Hits 12 Crew 36 Urugan Cannon LOSS OF CREW ‘The Urugan Cannon requires a full crew of three to work properly. Ifone crewman is slain then the other two can just about get by and the gun may fire as normal, however, the Urugan Cannon may no longer make a march move. If two crewmen are slain, the remaining crewman can still operate the weapon, but the rate of fire will be reduced. When the gun fires, the ‘crewman must spend an entire turn preparing to to fire again, reducing the weapon’s rate of fire to once every other turn. Ifall the crew are slain then the gun is useless.

Once, by the personal request of the Tzarina, he wrestled a great {grizzly bear unarmed and emerged victorious. Ija of Murova isa bear of a man, standing well over seven. feet tall. His hair is already showing signs of greying, but he has lost nothing of his skill with the bow or axe. His arms and shoulders are as mighty as, ever, and no one, even amongst the Sibyrians, dare to challenge him to a contest of power. There are even those who believe that Ilia has been blessed by the gods with the spirit of a Great Bear. Ija hunts alone, for the prey he searches is far too dangerous.

The taxes he assessed the poor people of Kislev were enormous and were ruthlessly collected by his cruel servants. Thousands died during his regime. Igor, however, was a mighty warrior and was never defeated in battle. He united the Kislev as we know it now, and formed a strong monarchy which endures to this day.
