Continuing our look at the great tribes of the north we look at the role played by Chaos Champions. Leaders, sorcerers and prophetic warriors of the gods, Chaos Champions represent the most “colourful” aspects of the followers of chaos in Warhammer the Old World. We discuss how one begins on the eightfold pathway to Daemonhood and what challenges such beings face as they begin their inevitable pilgrimage North. We look at four such champions and their warbands from the heyday of the Realms of Chaos books and detail their followers and rewards.

In this episode we introduce you all to the charmingly rustic, though somewhat “evil”, peoples of the north. The four great nation tribes, the Marauders, of the very stabby arctic circle. We start with the Norscans of … well… Norsca, those evil vikings that patrol the sea of claws and raid the costs of the old world. Moving east we then take a gander at the nomadic Kurgan tribes and then the stone age savages that raid both Cathay and Naggaroth,the Hung. We briefly touch on the most mysterious and violent of the tribes, the Tong, before giving a somewhat confusing description of the layers of tribal society. Oh and there is a Map that we 100% will include in the show notes… 100%

In our final High Elf episode we look at Ulthuans capacity to make and win wars. We examine the stratified nature of High Elf armies and the defined roles each unit type takes. We look at the core of the High Elf armies, the Citizen Levy before diving into the famed units drawn from each of the ten kingdoms. From the Dragon Knights of Caledor to the flying chariots of the Lothern Seaguard. We dig into the role magic and magic items play in the forces of Ulthuan before having a bit of a laugh at the “sporadic” leadership of Court appointed generals and the fearsome beasts that they mount.
