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 />

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 />
