CHRONICLES OF KISLEV
A precious source of lore for those who are willing to learn.

The realm of Kislev lies to the east of the Empire. For centuries it has been a buttress against the onslaught of Chaos from the wastes to the north. Thanks to the Empire's support, Kislev has never fallen, although many of her cities have suffered devatation at the hands of the Chaos Hordes. To this day, Kislev remains a strong friend and ally of the Emperor, and is always willing to send fighting forces to help fight his wars, as he is to help Kislev fight their wars.

Kislev is a land of dark pine forests, snow-clad wilderness and wind-swept steppes. The inhabitants huddle around huge log fires in timber halls protected by massive stockades. The ruler of this cold and extensive realm is the sorceress Tzarina Katarin the Great, daughter of the notorious Tzar Boris Goblin Basher whose many battles in the east expanded the Kislev Empire beyond the Worlds Edge Mountains.

As a Kislev player you must be very careful and use all the various parts of your army together, in a highly coordinated plan. You don't have 'super' troops that can win the alone for you, so your units must work together and support each other to defeat the enemy. Nothing can be left to chance, because if you allow your opponent to conduct the battle on his terms you will likely face defeat. On the other hand, if you learn to use it well, a Kislev army makes a fine and balanced force, which is fun to collect and can be extremely powerful on the battlefield.
