Thc Empirc is thc largcst and most powcrful rcalm in<br />
thc Old World. Its vast cxpansc strctchcs from <strong>the</strong><br />
rolling, grccn hills <strong>of</strong> Brctonnia in thc wcst to thc<br />
swccping stcppcs o[ Kislcv in thc cast. Thc pridc<br />
<strong>of</strong> thc nation is undoubtcdly thc cosmopoliran citics<br />
whcrc thc pinnaclc <strong>of</strong> human achicvcmcnts can bc found.<br />
Lcgcndary institutions, such as univcrsitics, acadcmics,<br />
thc lmpcrial Collcgc <strong>of</strong> Engincers and thc Collcgcs <strong>of</strong><br />
Magic, attract <strong>the</strong> brighrcst o{ mankind <strong>the</strong> world ovcr to<br />
study and lcarn. Convcrscly, thc <strong>Empire</strong> is also a<br />
brooding land <strong>of</strong> ignorancc and fcar, a land whcre vast<br />
forestcd tracts are ovcrrun by lawless banditry or worse<br />
Out in this wildcrncss thc widesprcad vilhgcs arc likc<br />
small and isolated islands amidst a vcritablc sea <strong>of</strong><br />
dangcrous forcst. Supcrstition in thcsc smallcr hamlcts ls<br />
rifc and who is to say if thc rituals <strong>of</strong> thc rural<br />
pcasantry don't actually ward <strong>of</strong>f lurking thrcats? For cvcn<br />
in thc <strong>Empire</strong>, mighticst <strong>of</strong> mankind's rcalms, thcrc prowl<br />
many grcat and unfathomablc cvils.<br />
Thc land is scldom at pcacc for long. Orcs and Goblins<br />
launch inccssant raids frorn thc mountainous bordcrs,<br />
while thc impcnctrablc forcsts at thc vcry hcart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Empirc arc homc to vilc Bcastmcn, who burst from undcr<br />
rhc canopy <strong>of</strong> darkncss, cagcr lo dcspoil and dcstroy. To<br />
thc cast, in thc ancicnt land <strong>of</strong> Sylvania, <strong>the</strong> dcad do not<br />
rcst casy and undcrncath bustling citics throughout thc<br />
rcalm, thc vcrminous Skavcn {cstcr, cvcr plotting ncw,<br />
morc sinistcr assaults. Pcrhaps most dangcrous <strong>of</strong> all, thc<br />
northcrn tribcs who opcnly worship thc Dark Gods<br />
thrcaten to burst southwards bringing firc and dcath with<br />
unrold fury. So it is that thc Empirc is always at war,<br />
sccuring bordcrs against ancicnt encmics, fcnding <strong>of</strong>f raids,<br />
and clashing egainst all manncr <strong>of</strong> invadcrs. Thc soldicrs<br />
<strong>of</strong> thc Empirc stand shouldcr to shouldcr forming a<br />
bulwark <strong>of</strong> couragc and stccl lo stavc <strong>of</strong>f thc darkness<br />
that bcscts thcm.<br />
And so it has cvcr bccn. For wcll ovcr 2,500 ycars<br />
thc Empirc has cndurcd, surviving invasions, plagucs,<br />
and civil wars. Its vcry birth was forgcd in battlc: thc<br />
lcgcndary varrior king Sigmar uniting thc disparatc<br />
barbaric tribcs in ordcr to drivc <strong>of</strong>f an ovcrwhclming<br />
army <strong>of</strong> invading Orcs. Since thosc fabled timcs, <strong>the</strong><br />
nation has grown to thc promincncc with which it<br />
dominatcs thc Old World today.<br />
Many rcfcr to thc Empirc as if it werc a wholly unificd<br />
nation, but morc rcalistically it is a conglomcration <strong>of</strong><br />
many individual and cxtrcmcly indcpcndcnt statcs. Thcsc<br />
slatcs wcrc built on thc ancicnt tribal lands <strong>of</strong> thc pcoplcs<br />
that Sigmar lcd to glory. Aftcr swccping cvil from thc<br />
lands, Si6mar dccrccd <strong>the</strong> rcalm too large for onc man to<br />
rulc, and so hc dividcd powcr along old boundarics, with<br />
each chicftain answcrablc only to himsclf. Ovcr rhc<br />
ccnturies thc bordcrs havc shiftcd or disappcarcd and somc<br />
states havc riscn or bcen dcstroycd. Vast citics havc grovn<br />
in both import and powcr, so much so that many arc<br />
now sclf-govcrning city-statcs. But thc mcn <strong>of</strong> thc Empirc<br />
today arc still dcsccndanrs <strong>of</strong> thosc ancient barbarians and<br />
thc ordcr <strong>of</strong> rulc is similar, vith cach state rulcd by an<br />
Elector Count, hcrcdirary rulcrs <strong>of</strong> cach separatc rcgion<br />
who 'clcct' onc <strong>of</strong> thcir mcmbcrs to scrve as Empcror.<br />
Each Elcctor Count is responsiblc for thc wholc <strong>of</strong> his<br />
own provincc and answerablc only to <strong>the</strong> Empcror. This<br />
system, cxistctrt sincc thc days <strong>of</strong> Sigmar, has prcscrvcd<br />
thc indcpcndencc, idiosyncrasics and uniquc customs lhat<br />
can bc found in thc diffcrent provinccs <strong>of</strong> thc Empirc. To<br />
this day, cach <strong>of</strong> thc surviving statcs is ficrccly proud <strong>of</strong><br />
its hcritagc and rightfully<br />
its ncighbour's tradirions.<br />
wary (or outright disdainful) <strong>of</strong><br />
Thc armies <strong>of</strong> thc Empirc arc rightfully famous. Thcy<br />
havc stood rcsolutc on countlcss batlcficlds, winning thc<br />
day through might <strong>of</strong> arms. Thc bulk <strong>of</strong> thc Empirc's<br />
forccs arc formcd <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>cssional statc troops, soldicrs<br />
raiscd, traincd, and girdcd for war by <strong>of</strong>ficcrs appointcd<br />
by thc Elcctor Counts, as decrecd by thc Emperor<br />
himsclf. At nccd, thc statc troops arc joincd by militia,<br />
lcss drillcd pcrhaps, but morc than rcady to fight for<br />
thcir homeland. Additionally, many commanders can call<br />
upon elitc military brothcrhoods to aid rhcm in battlc.<br />
Young aspiring noblcs form units <strong>of</strong> Pisrolicrs, vhilc thc<br />
most daring <strong>of</strong> infantrymcn arc promotcd to thc<br />
formidablc Crcatswords rcgimcnts. Thc Knightly Ordcrs<br />
<strong>of</strong> thc Empirc arc powcrful forccs that stand rcady to<br />
fight ar thc command <strong>of</strong> thcir Grand Mastcr. Battlc<br />
Wizards, Warrior Pricsts, Enginccrs, mighty artillcry picccs<br />
and fabulous war machincs autmcnt thc armics fortunatc<br />
cnough to havc thcm.<br />
Thcsc soldicrs <strong>of</strong> thc Empirc march to war undcr many<br />
diffcrcnt banncrs and wcaring diffcrcnt uniforms. Thcir<br />
panoply <strong>of</strong> wrr is varicd in colour and dccoratcd with<br />
many imagcs, all <strong>of</strong> which say somcthing about a soldicr's<br />
bclicfs, his localc, or his rcgimcnt's history. But whcn<br />
thcy form in placc into a battlclinc, it is for onc purposc<br />
- to bring victory and glory to thc Empirc.

Soldiers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> E^Pire<br />
The Empirc is a divcrsc narion and this is rcflcctcd in thc uniforms <strong>of</strong> its soldicry. From pr<strong>of</strong>cssional and highly<br />
polishcd regimcnts, to hastily raiscd militia marching undcr a common banncr, an <strong>Empire</strong> army can bc a homogcnous<br />
unifi.d forc-., or a widcly dirp.r.t. group. Each proviocc or city-statc has its own distinct colours' iconography, and<br />
hisrory, whilc rcgimcnts i.". ih.i, own iraditions, somc <strong>of</strong> vhich datc back to thc founding <strong>of</strong> thc Empirc itsclf. This<br />
,.rolr, io . wid.'r.ng. <strong>of</strong> diffcrcnt uniforms, cvcn for rcgimcnts raiscd from thc samc town' and possibly within rhc<br />
vcry samc unit. Whii. in no way complctc, givcn thc Empirc's sizc and lengthy rhis guide will illustrate<br />
.history,<br />
thc<br />
panoply <strong>of</strong> uniforms and how thcy might bc worn throughout thc provinccs and city-statcs.<br />
STATE TROOPS<br />
Rcgiments <strong>of</strong> statc trooPs<br />
typically wcar thc colour or colours<br />
associatcd with thcir provincc or<br />
city-statc, although thcrc arc notablc<br />
exccptions. Thcrc arc no ovcrriding<br />
rules govcrning how, whcrc' or in<br />
what proportions thcsc colours arc<br />
uscd. Instead colours differ bascd<br />
on individual unit traditions' thc<br />
whim <strong>of</strong> commandcrs or nobility<br />
(such as dukcs, barons or counts)'<br />
or possibly iust rhc availability <strong>of</strong><br />
matcrials and dycs. Onc rcgimcnt<br />
mighr bc outfittcd entirely in its<br />
provincial colours, whilc anothcr<br />
could only bcar slccvcs or lcggings<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir associatcd huc. ManY<br />
rcgimcnts distinguish thcmsclvcs by<br />
usc <strong>of</strong> a minor dctail such as a<br />
slccvc, cuff, plumc, hat, or collar in<br />
a cornmon colour. Unlcss notcd' thc<br />
uniforms shown throughout this<br />

soldier to be armoured and outfttted<br />
in enctly <strong>the</strong> same uay.<br />
Somc rcgimcnts follow a strict<br />
uniform, but many units lcavc cach<br />
soldier to sourcc his own garb,<br />
rcsulting in a varicty <strong>of</strong> gcar, <strong>of</strong>tcn<br />
