I have been playing WFB for only a short time and recently I found out that there's an army called Kislev. What are they and why aren't they listed as a separate army in the GW online store as they are in some other stores?

They are a differnt "flavour" of empire even though there not part of the actual empire, look in the empire section.

If am Not mistaken They are Nomad Style race<Least thats my take been playing 5years.<Like some one else stated there kinda flavor empire race Though They Have there own Realm. Theyre still more or less part of the empire...

Storyline wise they've whooped on chaos.

I get it now, it was just confusing me that some sites list the Kislev and the Empire separately. Thanks for the replies :) .

i see the Kislev's as being alot like GW mixture of Russians and Norwegians. If you look at thier houses they are all longhouse style. They also worship winter. I don't think that anyone in the world really plays as them- they are just sort of a Fluff race.

Cheers, ^Warpfire^

P.S. If any of you play Kislev please let me know!

They do have bears...lots of bears. Kislev is a country between the empire and troll country and as such is rugged and much of it is made of grassy plains. The folk there are hardy and worship the winter god ulric as well as taal ulrics brother and god of the rest of nature. Hope this helps :D .

kislev is the WHFB equivalent of russia. its northwest of the empire, and gets assaulted by chaos a lot. lots of famous horsemen (kislev horse archers, the winged lancers, the gryphon legion). it's too far west to be a real bastion against chaos (SOC proved this: most of the chaos forces bypassed it), but it has played important roles in the past (the siege or praag, for example, back when magnus the pious was still alive). They use a lot of russian and russian-sounding titles (boyar, tzarina) and names (boris).


game-wise its an offshoot of an empire army, i think theres either an appendix or a warhammer chronicles giving you the list

no need to worry for soul, instead starts worshipping STS and slaughtering unbelievers in his holy name.
