 FOREWORD
Tão brutal e duradoura quanto sua terra natal de florestas densas,
montanhas altas e invernos arrepiantes, os Khadorans são
conhecidos por seu pragmatismo diante das dificuldades.
Descendentes dos guerreiros do antigo Império Khardic, os
homens e mulheres de Khador - o maior dos Reinos de Ferro -
não param por nada para ver a glória de seu passado revivida. Os
soldados Khadoran personificam os ideais de força e resiliência e
são tão variados quanto os muitos povos que compõem esta terra.
Das fileiras profissionais de Presas de Ferro marchando
em perfeito passo atrás das paredes de escudos brilhantes, às
empresas da Guarda de Inverno patriótica que formam a espinha
dorsal dos exércitos do império até as tropas auxiliares,
como os Widowmakers de olhos de águia e assassinos letais de
caiaque, os guerreiros do Exército Khadoran forneça aos seus
comandantes as ferramentas para dominar até o engajamento
mais complicado.
Ao lado desses bravos soldados, marcham maciços de guerra
que são, tonelada por tonelada, a mais forte e mais
fortemente blindada de qualquer força dentro dos Reinos de
Ferro. Equipados com armas simples, mas brutalmente
eficazes, que incluem canhões de bombardeio explosivos,
serras de rasgar de armadura e machados de gelo com
crosta de gelo, os macacões de guerra de Khador podem
superar e superar qualquer um que estiver em seu caminho.
Liderando os exércitos implacáveis de Khador estão os seus
warcasters, patriotas e heróis dotados da capacidade de
controlar os warjacks através de seu domínio arcano. Do
gênio tático do Supremo Comandante Gurvaldt Irusk e do
ocultismo
domínio do Obavnik Kommander Aleksandra Zerkova à raiva
brutal e furiosa do Kommander Orsus Zoktavir, a força que os
warcasters de Khador trazem para o campo é insuperável. Ao
controlar os brutais macacos de guerra de sua terra natal, eles são
uma força que nenhum inimigo está ansioso para enfrentar.
Dentro de suas páginas, o Forças do WARMACHINE: Comando
Khador oferece uma visão abrangente do cenário do Império
Khadoran e acesso a todos os seus temíveis warcasters e trovões,
bem como uma variedade de unidades e solos para apoiá-los no
campo de batalha. Além disso, este volume apresenta dois novos
warcasters - Assault Kommander Strakhov e Kommander Andrei
Malakov - e um novo solo do Man-O-War, o Greylord Forge Seer.
Juntamente com a riqueza de informações sobre modelos
específicos que podem formar a espinha dorsal de qualquer
exército de Khador, este livro também inclui as primeiras novas
forças temáticas para Khador. A força temática Jaws of the Wolf
coloca os indomáveis jaquetas de guerra de Khador na frente e no
centro, enquanto a Legião de Aço reúne as presas de ferro duras
de Khador para permitir que você sobrecarregue seus oponentes
com classificações disciplinadas de escudo e pique.
Tão implacável quanto os invernos rigorosos da Pátria, o glorioso
exército de Khador está pronto para marchar sob seu comando.
Agora é a hora de mobilizar suas tropas e esmagar todos os
inimigos sob seu poder de ferro - pelo Império e pela Imperatriz!

 THE MILITARY OF
THE KHADORAN
EMPIRE
LOYALTY, STRENGTH & CONQUEST
O povo Khadoran valoriza a força, a lealdade e a engenhosidade
acima de tudo. Para seus inimigos, Khador é o lobo nos portões,
uma nação bélica caracterizada por seus vastos exércitos de
patriotas de rosto sombrio, endurecidos pelos invernos sem fim e
dedicados ao sonho do império. Apoiando essas forças de combate
estão as massas da classe baixa que passam a vida trabalhando nos
campos para alimentar a nação ou gastando seu sangue e trabalho
em vastas fábricas para manter os grandes macacões de guerra da
Pátria se aproximando da vitória. Os cidadãos ásperos e resistentes
de Khador estão unidos em sua fé em sua imperatriz, Ayn Vanar, e
em sua ambição de ferro.
É a sede de conquista de Khadoran, juntamente com o serviço
militar obrigatório e a estima concedida a seus soldados que
permitiram a Khador mobilizar um exército tão grande e
disciplinado. Com esforços contínuos para modernizar suas forças
armadas e otimizar sua capacidade industrial, a Pátria representa
uma das grandes potências do oeste de Immoren.
As vitórias de Khador nas guerras do passado recente
galvanizaram a população em apoio à imperatriz e suas políticas,
e esses sucessos militares levaram a outros ganhos tangíveis para
a Pátria. A invasão de Llael trouxe novos recursos industriais
vitais, matérias-primas e desenvolvimentos tecnológicos para
Khador. Saquear as propriedades da Ordem do Crisol de Ouro,
uma vez sediada no leste de Llael, forneceu à Pátria estoques de
substâncias alquímicas e outras armas úteis, bem como os
segredos de sua criação. Ainda mais importante, a apreensão das
minas de Rynyr rendeu suprimentos adicionais dos materiais
vitais necessários para a fabricação de explosivos.
6
Quase toda a indústria de Llael, principalmente em Laedry e na
antiga capital Merywyn, agora serve para satisfazer o apetite
militar voraz de Khador. Ao se apropriar desses ativos, Khador
também privou seu inimigo de longa data, Cygnar, de seu aliado
mais antigo. Muitos Khadorans agora acreditam que nada pode
impedir seu triunfo final.
A Imperatriz
Em Khador, todo o poder finalmente escorre da imperatriz. Os
poderes de Ayn Vanar são vastos e abrangentes, incluindo, entre
outros, a capacidade de declarar guerra, redigir e aprovar leis, ter
ordens obedecidas pela autoridade da lei, determinar punições por
crimes graves, perdoar os julgados culpados por qualquer
tribunal, e para levantar e comandar o exército e a marinha.
Acreditando que ela personifica sua nação, o povo a chama de
pervichyi rodinovna, ou "filha principal" da Pátria. A imperatriz é
um político astuto e poderoso, com ambições mais profundas que
o mar Khardic. Com a intenção de expandir seu império, ela criou
um exército novo e formidável treinado para um propósito
singular: a conquista do oeste de Immoren. Convencida de que
seu destino é governar todos os Reinos de Ferro, ela fará todo o
possível e usará todos os meios para realizar sua ambição. Este
exército já alcançou grandes sucessos, tendo tomado a maioria dos
antigos territórios de Llael e, por um tempo, expulsou os
Cygnarans da Floresta Thornwood.
A imperatriz Ayn Vanar solidificou sua estima aos olhos do povo
através de demonstrações cuidadosas de perspicácia política e

 benevolência. Ela possui uma reputação assustadora, não só por
lidar severamente com nobres que abusam de seu povo, mas
também por incansavelmente enraizar a traição. Ela habilmente
lida com questões de diferenças religiosas em sua vasta nação.
Embora abertamente Morrowan, ela presta um considerável
respeito aos visgodos do ranking do Templo de Menoth em
Khadoran. Sua inclusão de ambas as religiões é vista
favoravelmente por muitos, e ela é amada pelos fiéis Menite e
Morrowan. Essa percepção foi auxiliada por seus consideráveis
atos de caridade, através dos quais ela apoia os esforços de ambas
as religiões para cuidar dos pobres e privados de direitos de
Khador.
As manobras políticas mais recentes de Ayn Vanar unificaram
Umbrey oriental e ocidental sob o domínio do grande príncipe
Vladimir Tzepesci. Os Umbreans eram há muito vistos como
rebeldes, e a linhagem Tzepesci compreendia os principais
candidatos ao trono. A declaração da imperatriz fez de Umbrey a
maior e mais poderosa província, ou volozk, em toda Khador, ao
mesmo tempo em que trouxe vários elementos adicionais não
totalmente alinhados com a coroa. O volozk unido ficou
responsável pela defesa de suas próprias terras, colocando os
Umbreans resistentes contra a ameaça iminente de incursões pela
Cruzada do Norte do Protetorado de Menoth. Isso, por sua vez,
liberou grande parte das forças armadas de Khador para lidar com
ameaças em outros lugares, incluindo o reforço da defesa de sua
fronteira sul com Cygnar.
A unificação de Umbrey foi seguida pelo anúncio do
noivado da imperatriz com o grande príncipe Vladimir
Tzepesci, o herdeiro da famosa linhagem Tzepesci e líder do
povo Umbrean. Este anúncio promete reunir as duas mais
fortes linhas reais em Khador, com a esperança de que seus
herdeiros sejam vistos com igual adoração pelos Umbreans e
pelo resto de Khador. A família Tzepesci é suspeita de
abrigar aspirações ao trono e, com o noivado, isso
SIMONYEV BLAUSTAVYA,
GREAT VIZIER OF KHADOR
O conselheiro mais próximo da imperatriz e chanceler
principal é Simonyev Blaustavya, Grande Vizir de Khador. O
grande vizir ocupa o cargo mais alto designado em Khador e
é o único indivíduo que não a imperatriz que pode exigir dos
grandes príncipes. Encarregado de decretar a vontade da
imperatriz, ao portar uma escritura real, ele fala com a
autoridade dela e deve ser obedecido. Blaustavya ajuda a
administrar muitos aspectos do império através do poderoso
e extenso Ministério do Grande Vizir, que é dividido em oito
seções e forma o centro burocrático da capital. Embora este
ministério tenha supervisionado muitos aspectos da
governança, sua divisão mais infame é a Seção Três, o
Intelligence Kommand de Khador e a polícia secreta. A
Chancelaria Prikaz do Pacto Greylord também responde a
Blaustavya, colocando-o no comando de toda a espionagem
Khadoran.

ameaça deve ser colocada para descansar. Ao conquistar opiniões
divergentes em seu reino, Vanar preparou o império para as
conquistas futuras.
Recent Conflicts
De todas as guerras que Khador travou, nenhuma se mostrou mais
sangrenta do que as realizadas contra o reino de Cygnar, ao sul.
Qualquer paz entre as duas grandes potências militares tem sido
delicada, na melhor das hipóteses, com cada lado esperando a
oportunidade de dar um golpe devastador contra o outro. As
fronteiras que compartilham são marcadas com incontáveis campos
de batalha, antigos e recentes.
Com as multidões de mortos-vivos de Cryx espalhadas por
Thornwood, Khador e Cygnar foram forçados a uma breve aliança
para acabar com a ameaça à sua segurança mútua. Assim que os
Cryxians foram derrotados, a breve aliança terminou quando a
Imperatriz Vanar lançou uma ofensiva, aproveitando o estado
enfraquecido de Cygnar ao entrar em uma segunda guerra civil.
O confronto entre Khador e Cygnar se estendeu por vários meses
depois que a guerra civil de Cygnar terminou com a coroação do rei
Julius Raelthorne. O conflito interno dentro de Cygnar acabou
rápido demais para Khador explorar adequadamente o caos, e os
esforços em Thornwood se mostraram caros e inconclusivos.
Quando Julius Raelthorne processou a paz, a imperatriz consentiu,
reconhecendo a necessidade de reconstruir reservas e fortalecer o
tesouro esgotado de Khador. Foi assinado um tratado que
legitimava a reivindicação de Khador de ocupar Llael, a menos que
um herdeiro legítimo do trono de Llaelese se levantasse para
recuperar essas terras ancestrais. Em troca, Khador concordou em
deixar o Thornwood, deixando o pântano fétido para os Cygnarans,
para que eles pudessem gastar seus próprios recursos em sua defesa,
eliminando assim um dreno nos cofres e no poder militar do
império.
Cygnar havia entrado em acordo com pretextos falsos, no entanto,
tendo escondido um herdeiro do trono llaelês com o objetivo de
usar as estipulações do tratado para expulsar Khador de Llael sem
lutar. A imperatriz recusou-se, com razão, a remover seus
soldados de Llael; ela viu o estratagema dos sulistas pelo que era e
não se prenderia a essas táticas desonrosas. Cygnar respondeu
atacando a cidade de Riversmet e declarando guerra contra a
Pátria, provocando assim o crescente conflito atualmente se
espalhando pelo oeste de Immoren.
Embora a guerra em curso com Cygnar pelo destino de Llael
continue sendo a principal preocupação de Khador, não faltam
outras ameaças que o império enfrenta. Lutar em Llael não só
levou Khador a entrar em conflito com os restos esfarrapados da
Resistência Llaelese, mas também com os fanáticos fanáticos da
Cruzada do Norte. Enquanto Khador apóia as religiões Menite e
Morrowan, a rígida doutrina religiosa do Protetorado de Menoth
e seus projetos em Llael os deixaram em conflito com Khador,
tornando inevitáveis os confrontos entre a Cruzada do Norte e os
soldados do império.
As ameaças da natureza também se tornaram uma preocupação,
como sempre foi o caso de um império tão grande quanto Khador,
que abrange regiões remotas. Os trollkin kriels do norte foram
instigados a agir em resposta às incursões da civilização nas
regiões selvagens, e seus ataques a homens da fronteira não
ficaram sem resposta. Embora todo Khadoran seja um combatente
capaz, especialmente aqueles que vivem à margem da civilização,
os militares despacham regularmente Presas de Ferro e Guarda de
Inverno para afastar as hordas de trollkin selvagem quando eles
surgem. Outras aldeias se viram atacadas pelos dragões e

bestas, elas também caem no pique explosivo e no estrago. Essas
ameaças seriam mais do que suficientes para dissuadir um povo
menor de reivindicar o que é por direito deles, mas a resolução
dos Khadorans permanece tão difícil e intransigente quanto as
terras em que habitam.
High Kommand
Um dos pontos fortes das forças armadas de
Khadoran é a liderança centralizada do Alto

comandantes supremos que têm autoridade sobre cada um dos três
grandes exércitos de Khador. O Alto Kommand também inclui um
órgão consultivo aberto a todos os oficiais de alto escalão
aposentados. Esses homens e mulheres estimados contam com
décadas de experiência para analisar os compromissos atuais e avaliar
possíveis estratégias.
Em 607 AR, após a primeira tentativa de Khador de tomar a Guarda
Norte, a imperatriz promoveu Gurvaldt Irusk ao supremo
comandante. Enquanto os outros comandantes supremos
continuavam supervisionando a logística e o planejamento de seus
exércitos, Irusk recebeu o comando em campo. Alguns membros do
Alto Kommand argumentam que a capacidade de Irusk de contrariar
suas ordens compromete criticamente a autoridade do Alto
Kommand. A imperatriz Vanar, no entanto, sustenta que o Alto
Kommand existe principalmente para aconselhar o soberano e
formular estratégias de alto nível - para não liderar soldados que
lutam a centenas de quilômetros de distância.
O Alto Kommand é servido por uma extensa colmeia de
funcionários e suprimentos que mantêm correspondência militar
vital e um cofre cada vez maior de registros militares. Um alto
volume de informações passa diariamente pelo Alto Kommand,
incluindo um fluxo constante de solicitações de entrada e de saída.
Uma das tarefas mais importantes tratadas por essa burocracia é a
folha de pagamento militar. Muitos soldados de Khadoran adiam
porções significativas de seus salários para suas famílias, e o
eficiente sistema administrativo permite que os soldados da Pátria
se sintam confiantes de que seus entes queridos estão sendo
atendidos.

 Armies of the
Motherland
Khadoran forces are divided into three armies, each
answering to the High Kommand and with a supreme
kommandant dedicated to its direct oversight. With Supreme
Kommandant Irusk’s presence in the field to make snap
judgments as required by ongoing operations, this system
has served to keep the Khadoran Army functioning smoothly
and to prevent top-level miscommunications.
The current Khadoran military doctrine was concisely described
in Irusk’s definitive tome, On Conquest. This treatise on
modern warfare, now required reading at military academies
throughout the Iron Kingdoms, first established the current
three-army system of Khador: the Anvil, Hammer, and Forge.
Khador’s 1st Army corresponds to the Anvil; the 2nd Army
to the Hammer; and the 3rd Army to the Forge. The Anvil is
intended to establish hardened positions that are impossible
to rout, while the Hammer strikes where it is needed and
the Forge defends the Motherland and trains her capable
soldiers. The Winter Guard serves as the backbone of the
three armies. Redressing any shortcomings of conscripted
soldiers are several highly specialized branches, including
powerful heavy infantry, skilled cavalry, and sniper and
reconnaissance forces.
The 1st Army: The Anvil
The 1st Army, or the Anvil, is called upon for
Khador’s protracted engagements, and its
soldiers have been trained and conditioned for
stamina. In theory, the 1st Army is intended to
engage and tie up enemy forces across a large area until the
2nd Army, the Hammer, is ready to strike. The officers of the
Anvil consider themselves to be Khador’s foremost experts
on enduring sieges. In practice the Anvil is most often relied
upon to hold conquered territories and to assimilate them
into the empire. The 1st Army played a major role in the
invasion of Llael and its subsequent subjugation, and many
Llaelese cities are still garrisoned by its soldiers.
Since Khadoran forces withdrew from the Thornwood, the
bulk of the 1st Army has returned to Llael to safeguard vital
holdings there, including industrial capacity harnessed for
military production. Active resistance within Khadoran
Llael has greatly diminished thanks to the efforts of the 1st
Army, though recent renewed conflicts with Cygnar have put
this region directly in harm’s way. Likewise, the Anvil has
continually held its ground against the Protectorate forces
amassing in the east where clashes between the 1st Army and
the Northern Crusade have become routine.
The 1st Army is nominally commanded by Supreme
Kommandant Ivon Krasnovich of the High Kommand, but
Kommandant Mikhail Ivdanovich, who controls the army

from Merywyn, has operational command. Ivdanovich
was credited by Supreme Kommandant Irusk as being
instrumental in the swift and successful conquest of Llael,
in large part due to his oversight of supply lines during the
rapid invasion.
The 2nd Army: The Hammer
The 2nd Army, known as the Hammer, specializes
in delivering crushing offensives and therefore
includes the largest number of assault legions,
warjacks, and heavy infantry of the three armies.
Where the 1st Army trains in surviving sieges, the 2nd Army
is the best at conducting them against the enemy. During the
invasion of Llael, the Hammer laid siege to Elsinberg, Laedry,
and Redwall Fortress, and later Merywyn. The 2nd was also
instrumental in Khador’s subsequent operations against both
Cryx and Cygnar in the Thornwood, including the seizure
of Northguard and the final assault on the Necrofactorium.
With these victories, it currently reigns as the most esteemed
of Khador’s armies, and most new recruits seeking action ask
to be assigned to the Hammer.
Although Supreme Kommandant Irusk was in direct
command of all Khadoran forces during these engagements,
he is most strongly associated with the 2nd Army—in
particular, with the 4th Assault Legion of the 3rd Division.
These handpicked officers and soldiers have fought under
Irusk longer than any others and are among the Motherland’s
most battle-hardened troops.
The 2nd Army falls under the purview of Supreme
Kommandant Boris Makarov, who was promoted to this
position following the death of Alex Gorchakoff. Makarov
had been the field commander of the 2nd under Gorchakoff
since the invasion of Llael. He is a close ally and friend of
Gurvaldt Irusk and was placed in charge of governing the
former Llaelese capital, Merywyn. Due to his success in
overseeing this city, Makarov remains in Llael, which has
required accommodations with the High Kommand. In
his stead Great Prince Sergei Marvor, kommandant of the
4th Division, has remained in Korsk to coordinate with the
supreme kommandants of the 1st and 3rd Armies and the
premier. The great prince was glad to stay in the capital
to manage his political affairs while Makarov governs
Merywyn. As is common with great princes serving in such
posts, his leadership of the 4th Division is something of an
honorary position. Actual field command of the 4th Division
is shared between several capable subordinate officers when
Irusk is not personally directing these forces.
In the aftermath of Khador’s withdrawal from the
Thornwood, the 2nd Army has undergone substantial
reorganization and resupply. Having returned to full combat
strength, the rank and file of the 2nd once more march to war,
actively engaged against Cygnar’s armies in Llael, working

 Nahimov took his own life shortly after this disgrace and
was replaced by Jasek Donekev, the new fleet admiral. In
the years since that disaster, Donekev has worked tirelessly
to restore Khador’s naval might. His first battle was not at
sea, but in the halls of bureaucracy, as he strived to get the
funding necessary not only to replace ships lost during the
attack, but also to modernize his forces with ironhulls and
steam-sail hybrids.
Donekev has worked hard to institute better discipline
among enlisted sailors. In addition to raising standards, the
fleet admiral has sought able bodies wherever he can find
them. Several khardstadts have been emptied of prisoners
to fill the crews of the fleet, and many of the conscripts
have been surprised by the harsh discipline employed by
the Khadoran Navy. Officers are also feeling the heat of
Donekev’s attention. The fleet admiral has singled out the
most aggressive kapitans for rapid rise through the ranks,
while those who have lost their taste for war are forced to
retire. Donekev intends to do nothing less than revolutionize
the whole of the Khadoran Navy.
His tireless efforts could not have come a moment too soon.
With the growth of Khador’s colonies in Zu and other
expeditions abroad, the Motherland has had to move quickly
to protect the flow of goods and trade from the increasing
predations of pirates and privateers. Never before has a strong
naval presence been so necessary to the empire’s security.
Service Branches
The core of the Khadoran Army is composed of the soldiers
of the Winter Guard supported by warcasters and their
battlegroups of warjacks, specialist forces, and a well-
managed logistical bureaucracy. Khador’s specialist forces
include Assault Kommandos, Iron Fangs, Man-O-War,
Widowmaker scout-snipers, the enigmatic Greylords, and
various auxiliary forces.
Warcasters
The Khadoran military has become more regimented by
modern reforms, but enormous liberty is still afforded to
those rare few who manifest the ability to mentally control
warjacks. Such individuals, once identified, are extensively
trained and rapidly advanced through the ranks.
Empress Ayn Vanar and her predecessors have demonstrated
a willingness to adapt to the needs of these men and women
and even to indulge them. Preferential treatment includes
virtual immunity to criminal prosecution and tremendous
leeway when conducting missions against the enemy.
Though warcasters are technically obligated to obey the
dictates of the High Kommand, they tend to operate outside
the ordinary chain of command, including being given
operational control over the battlefields on which they
confront foes of the Motherland.
THE MILITARY OF THE KHADORAN EMPIRE

THE ARMIES OF
THE GREAT PRINCES
The great princes retain special liberties, including the right
to raise and equip armies of liegemen for war. Though some
nobles have voluntarily abandoned this privilege to concede
their vassals to the sovereign and the High Kommand as
officers in the Khadoran Army, others have preserved their
martial traditions as a matter of familial pride. Many of those
vassals who serve the armies of the Motherland for a time
return to their ancestral lords, giving the small armies of the
great princes a professionalism and discipline that belies their
provincial origins.
Most warcasters emerge from the ranks of the military, their
innate talents revealed by the stress of combat. Others arise
from prominent sorcerous lines or are discovered through
the diligent recruiting efforts of the Greylords Covenant.
Scholars in Khador insist certain family lines possess higher
potential for this aptitude, and each manifestation of power
is carefully documented and examined. The Greylords
Covenant oversees the initial training of those not yet versed
in arcane theory. Apprentice warcasters then undergo officer
training at the Druzhina before being assigned to senior
warcasters for mentoring. Upon the completion of this
training, warcasters are promoted to the rank of kapitan in
the Khadoran Army.
Winter Guard
Comprising the majority of the Khadoran military by a
substantial margin, the men and women of the Winter Guard
provide the foundation for nearly every substantial combat
force fielded by the empire. Service in the Winter Guard is
a common denominator for Khadorans, as all conscripts
enter the military as part of the Winter Guard unless they
are accepted into a more elite military branch. Winter Guard
soldiers are typically trained in the use of small arms and light
artillery. Guardsmen who serve in Khador’s city garrisons
receive additional training in urban combat and pacification.
Assault Kommandos
The Assault Kommandos were instituted with the intention
of giving Khador the edge against Cygnar in the trench
warfare that bogged down the Motherland’s forces following
the invasion of Llael in 604 AR. Cygnar had long enjoyed
an advantage in this type of conflict because of its superbly
trained trencher units, an imbalance that has been eliminated
since the first Assault Kommandos took to the field.

the Kommandos. Heavily armed and armored, these troops

warjacks fielded by rival powers, Khador turns its greatest
resource—its people—into steam-powered engines of
tireless destruction. Slow and ponderous yet able to weather
the storm of battle, Man-O-War troops both hold battle lines
and advance on the heaviest enemy positions.
Despite the obvious strength and impenetrability granted by
this armor, drawbacks do exist. The steam boiler integrated into
the armor’s metal shell makes Man-O-War troops susceptible
to heat stroke and exhaustion; worse, the occasional steam
leak can cook a soldier alive. Yet Man-O-War soldiers never
complain or ask for comfort; they are proud of their tradition
and willingly embrace the risks in order to serve their country.
Support mechaniks frequently travel alongside Man-O-War
platoons to see to their armor, and so long as equipment is
properly maintained, fatal accidents are rare.
Widowmakers
Widowmakers form the elite scout-sniper division of the
Khadoran military, which has embraced and elevated them
to the status of national heroes. The standards to join this
force are among the most stringent of all Khador’s specialist
branches, and only those riflemen who demonstrate peerless
skill are accepted. Because the Widowmakers are first and
foremost a merit-based corps, membership is open to any
who possess the requisite skills, whether peasant-born, rural
hunter, or of noble blood.
A Widowmaker’s primary role is to foment chaos among the
enemy by neutralizing key officers. They frequently advance
ahead of the main force, their arrival indicated by enemy
officers abruptly falling dead even before the report of rifle
fire can be heard. They also support withdrawals by ensuring
their own wounded avoid capture. If a downed officer cannot
be retrieved, Widowmakers accept the grim task of denying
the enemy a living prisoner.
In addition to their primary purpose as snipers, Widowmakers
also serve as forward scouts and are skilled at making use of
terrain to remain unseen as they gauge the enemy. Gathering
military reconnaissance and preventing the enemy from
doing the same gives them a value and utility well beyond
the number of those they slay by rifle.
Irregulars
Khadoran law requires all its citizens to serve in the military,
even those who live at the farthest reaches of the empire.
Because these rugged individualists and clannish people
usually do not integrate well into the strict hierarchies of
the military, the High Kommand allows them to encamp
separately from the regular army and follow commanders
promoted from within their own clans, tribes, or villages. Such
“irregulars” are often drawn from the Kossite clans and other
rural folk of the far north. Operating in tight bands, irregulars
benefit from lifetimes of familiarity with their comrades. Given
THE MILITARY OF THE KHADORAN EMPIRE
14
general orders from their superiors, they stage devastating
ambushes before melting back into the forest.
The most dangerous irregulars are the hunters and trappers
who prowl the backwoods of Khador alone, pitting their skills
against the savage denizens of the wild and sometimes taking
work as bounty hunters. Irregulars may also serve alongside
regular soldiers who are acting as scouts or advance forces.
Their familiarity with the deep woods of the north allows
them to navigate terrain otherwise impassable to normal
foot soldiers. Senior Widowmakers are often given authority
over irregulars attached to a given kompany or battalion,
coordinating scouting efforts and perimeter patrols.
Greylords Covenant
The Greylords Covenant is the premier occult order in
service to the Motherland and is effectively the arcane branch
of the Khadoran Army. Accomplished arcanists, patriots,
and soldiers together make up one of the most formidable
organizations in western Immoren. Individual Greylords are
integrated into the army, usually in small teams, and serve
alongside infantry officers, but their leader, the high obavnik
arbiter, answers to Great Vizier Simonyev Blaustavya, not
the High Kommand. Greylords are sometimes tasked with
special assignments and secret priorities as an aspect of their
occult expertise, which makes some officers uneasy.
The order provides Khador with cortexes and complex
mechanika, offers arcane expertise, supplies trained battle
arcanists to the military, assists in the identification and
training of warcasters, and sees to the internal security
of the nation. Their varied roles and the tactical flexibility
afforded by their arcane abilities make them highly valued
specialists. Leaders among the order often have political
influence beyond their rank, and the Greylords Covenant as
an organization is both wealthy and well connected.
Initiates enter the organization with the rank of uchenik.
These neophytes come from a wide variety of backgrounds,
their only commonality being an aptitude for the arcane.
Ucheniks spend years as menial servants while learning the
fundamentals of arcane theory and military history before
promotion to rastovik.
A rastovik is a junior member of the Greylords Covenant,
roughly equivalent to a lieutenant in the regular army. After
five years or more of faithful service, a Greylord may be
promoted to the rank of magziev. A magziev holds a rank
loosely equivalent to a kapitan and is considered fully
qualified for all the regular tasks expected of a Greylord.
Magzievs who make a career of military service are
expected to attend the Druzhina and earn the right to join
a ternion—a trio of arcanists specializing in the application
of battle magic who train and fight together. Ternions are
typically made up of two magzievs and a commanding
koldun. When not on active military duty, a magziev
is expected to contribute to the Covenant in research,
intelligence gathering, or cortex production.
A magziev with an impeccable service record and solid
connections with influential members of the Covenant
may eventually be promoted to koldun. While virtually all
kolduns have some military experience, many choose more
prestigious postings later in life in which they supervise
training, production, and research facilities. A koldun holds
a rank roughly equivalent to a kovnik in the Khadoran Army.
Those kolduns specifically recognized by the empress may
have a lordship bestowed upon them. The rank of koldun
lord brings honors and privileges loosely equivalent to
knighthood and the equivalent rank of a kommander. Those
granted lordships also receive token lands, minor titles, and
possibly other honors.
Obavniks are the penultimate leaders of the order. Although
there is no fixed number of obavniks, there are rarely more
than nine at any time. This rank is typically reserved for
Greylords who command strongholds or chapter houses.
An obavnik has a rank equivalent to a kommandant in the
Khadoran Army. It is not uncommon for the High Kommand
to consult with obavniks regarding occult issues affecting
ongoing operations or future plans.
Overseeing the Greylords Covenant is the high obavnik
arbiter, who exercises absolute authority over the entire order
from its central stronghold in Korsk, the Strikoya. The empress
appoints the high obavnik arbiter under the advisement of
the Prikaz Chancellery and the great vizier. Without fail, each
obavnik promoted to the position is an arcanist of superior
skill, acute military insight, and unquestionable patriotism.
The rank carries with it the title of count. In practice the high
obavnik arbiter enjoys authority only slightly less than that of
a supreme kommandant and is essentially the great vizier’s
expert counselor on matters involving mechanika and the
arcane. The great vizier is also in regular contact with the head
of the Prikaz Chancellery, a secretive Greylord office dedicated
to internal security. Members of the Prikaz operate outside the
normal chain of command.
The Greylords Covenant maintains five great strongholds,
the foremost being the Strikoya. Smaller strongholds exist in
Khardov, Ohk, Rorschik, and Skirov. All of them are formidable
fortresses, nearly impervious to attack or infiltration, and are
home to workshops, laboratories, libraries, and living quarters
for members of the Covenant. The Covenant also maintains
lesser holdings, called chapter houses, in cities and towns with
a significant Greylord presence.
Under the reign of Empress Vanar, the Covenant has become
an increasingly pervasive tool of the government. High-
ranking Greylords lead significant military efforts, including
the governance of captured cities, the direction of mechanikal
and arcane innovation, and the coordination of the nation’s
internal security apparatus.
THE MILITARY OF THE KHADORAN EMPIRE
Doom Reavers
The Khadoran commitment to victory at any cost is
plainly evident in their use of the dreaded doom reavers.
Commanded by arcanists of the Greylords Covenant, doom
reavers are conscripted from the ranks of convicted criminals,
most often soldiers found guilty of gross insubordination.
The Greylords chain these men to the nightmarish fellblades,
relic weapons once crafted by the Orgoth—a fate some argue
is worse than death.
The earliest known fellblades were unearthed among a cache of
Orgoth artifacts that lay beneath the haunted city of Khardov.
Saturated with dark magic, the swords are adorned with
howling faces that shift eerily at the fringes of vision and seem
to come alive when wielded. The first swordsmen unfortunate
enough to pick up these powerful weapons descended into
savage homicidal madness, spurred on by incomprehensible
whispering in their minds. Even during sleep, the swordsmen
heard foreign babbling that urged them to acts of bloodshed.
These men lashed out with berserk abandon and doubled
strength, killing anyone who crossed their path.
Since then, the Greylords have studied fellblades and found
ways to restrain the bloody impulses of those who wield
them—at least off the battlefield. Set loose in war, doom
reavers exhibit only minimal control and may strike down
anyone, friend or foe, as their bloodlust grows. Inexplicably,
some doom reavers can maintain their sense of self, while
others are driven irrevocably mad. Even those who maintain
their sanity, however, are forever changed. Such soldiers are
typically confined to the outskirts of Khadoran camps, where
their unnerving lunacy can disturb neither man nor beast.
Their oversight is generally handled by Greylord attendants
specialized in such work who can enforce obedience.
Khadoran Mechaniks
Assembly
Based out of the Rigevnya Complex in Korsk,
the Khadoran Mechaniks Assembly (KMA) has
partnered with the Khadoran military since it
was founded in 393 AR. The mechaniks, smiths,
and engineers of this august organization are the undisputed
mechanikal experts of the nation, responsible for designing,
fabricating, and maintaining all Khadoran warjacks as
well as Man-O-War armor. The brotherhood’s engineering
philosophies inevitably trickle down to private industry; for
example, Khadoran laborjack designs are largely inspired by
the work of the KMA.
The KMA wields considerable influence in Khador, in no small
part because Great Vizier Blaustavya began his rise to power
in Korsk as director of munitions at the Rigevnya Complex.
The KMA has recently expanded its operations to create a
sizable secondary foundry in Merywyn, and other occupied
cities may eventually lend additional production capacity.

 KHADOR THEME FORCE

JAWS OF THE WOLF

The deployment of warjack-heavy forces to eliminate hard targets is a standard response to military threats.
A common Khadoran tactic involves augmenting such forces with a contingent of scouts who venture
ahead to ensure the slow and steady column of Khadoran steel reaches its target intact. Once engaged, the
warjacks rely on overwhelming strength and raw firepower to batter the enemy into submission.

 KHADOR THEME FORCE

LEGION OF STEEL
The brotherhood of the Iron Fangs maintains traditions arising from ancient warriors who battled the
beasts of the north armed only with spears and the indomitable courage all true Khadorans possess. Iron
Fang assault forces are tasked with breaking enemy lines regardless of whether those lines are composed
of towering warjacks or masses of infantry. Surrounding a hard center of warjacks, an Iron Fang legion
marches in lockstep behind a wall of shields, supported by swift and brutal cavalry to protect their flanks.

ARMY COMPOSITION
An army made using this theme force can include only the following Khador models:

 WARCASTERS
OF KHADOR
Boasting the most formidable modern military in western
Immoren, the Khadoran Empire is capable of simultaneous
and sustained campaigns in multiple theaters, deploying
both disciplined, loyal soldiers and an impressive arsenal
of warjacks, artillery, and mystical might. Khador’s true
strength is its people, and regardless of the other weapons at
its disposal, the army’s greatest battlefield assets by far are its
formidable warcasters.
The Khadoran military places a high priority on preparing its
warcasters for the challenges they will face. Each is a trained
commanding officer capable of serving as a lynchpin in both
offensive and defensive engagements. The prosperity and
glory of the Motherland is contingent on the split-second
decisions of these warcasters. They are relied upon to make
the best call even when far removed from the High Kommand.
Considerable expense has been invested to modernize the
Khadoran military and to create an effective and systematic
regimen of arcane training. Regardless, the warcasters of
Khador are extremely varied; the previous military training
and experience of these individuals shapes the evolution of
their individual fighting styles and powers.
Traditionally, Khador has struggled to compete with rival
nations in their arcane and mechanikal innovations. The
great inventions that led to the overthrow of the Orgoth
came from other regions—from the alchemists of Llael, the
arcanists of Cygnar. In the modern era, efforts to rectify this
imbalance have fallen to a single group of its most ambitious
and talented citizens.
18
Arcane Traditions
The preeminent arcane organization in Khador is the
Greylords Covenant, a powerful group that serves as an arm
of the state and which has unified all those gifted with magic
in the empire. The very formation of the Greylords Covenant
was an act of solidarity for the Motherland. While Khador
had been esteemed for its engineering before the Occupation,
having invented the first steam engine, southerners conspired
to undermine the knowledge and expertise of the northern
peoples during the Rebellion, leaving the nation of Khador
with a distinct deficit.
To redress this injustice, the crown sent loyal gifted citizens
abroad to acquire lore and secrets from foreign organizations
such as Cygnar’s Fraternal Order of Wizardry and Llael’s
Order of the Golden Crucible. In brave acts of espionage,
the first Greylords acquired vital intelligence, including
the manufacturing techniques for steamjack cortexes and
knowledge of alchemy, and by their efforts they helped
modernize Khador’s military. In a very tangible fashion, the
Greylords Covenant paved the way for the nation to reclaim
its rightful place at the forefront of the Iron Kingdoms, and
its current warcasters benefit directly from these efforts.
Nations like Ord and Cygnar endure a bewildering array of
cabals and organizations to which arcanists and alchemists
belong, creating divided loyalties. Their governments
compete with private businesses and organizations for
talent, and their mechaniks and warcasters can betray them
for a higher bidder at any time. Not so in Khador, where the
Greylords Covenant holds exclusive sway over arcane lore
and techniques.
Greylords have long served alongside and supported the
Khadoran Army, and they have developed battlefield magic
to bolster and advance military tactics. Magic utilized by the
Greylords draws power from the harsh frozen landscape,
with arcanists calling upon cold itself as a weapon. Spells that
freeze adversaries in place, invoke cutting winds to injure
or deflect incoming fire, and blanket allies in concealing
fog and snow are well known to the Covenant. As part of
its natural evolution, the Covenant became heavily involved
in warcaster identification and instruction, and the magic
employed by Khador’s warcasters reflects this.
Recruitment and Training
The Greylords Covenant seeks out anyone among Khador’s
populace with arcane gifts that can be put to proper use for
the Motherland. The Covenant has various means to find such
people, including interviews and tests as well as investigators
checking into unusual supernatural manifestations. It is
common for arcanists other than warcasters to first show
signs of their ability in their early teens through spontaneous
and involuntary acts of magic. Khadoran law demands such
individuals be reported to the authorities and collected by
the Greylords Covenant for proper training.
But the emergence of warcaster talent is especially
capricious—their gift has been known to manifest later in
life, well past the point at which most citizens have committed
to a profession. While some rare family lines, such as the
Umbrean Tzepescis, have been noted for powerful sorcerers
and a few warcasters over the centuries, this is the exception
rather than the rule. Greylords maintain genealogies of the
gifted to try to anticipate such talents, but most warcasters
arise unpredictably.
The most likely place for warcaster talent to reveal itself is in
life-or-death combat situations, especially in the proximity
of warjacks. Because of this tendency, Khador’s policy of
mandatory military service has helped in the discovery
of many warcasters whose talents might have remained
hidden in civilian life. Requiring military service also greatly
facilitates the integration of new warcasters, as many have
already been through military training and may also have
direct combat experience.
Once someone with the warcaster potential has been identified,
instruction with the Greylords begins at once. Arcanists in
training are referred to as ucheniks, or apprentices. They
are sent to one of the Covenant’s chapter houses for an
intensive but abbreviated regimen to learn the fundamental
aspects of arcane manipulation. The studies undertaken by
warcaster candidates are more narrow and selective than
WARCASTERS OF KHADOR
19
 other gifted apprentices, focused mainly on battlefield magic.
Once ucheniks have learned how to control their magic, they
are sent to the Druzhina to become officer kadets and learn
to control warjacks. Those who pass their initial tests earn
the arcane rank of rastovik, loosely equivalent to southern
journeymen. Such arcane ranks are a formality, being purely a
gauge of arcane progress, and are separate from the authority
associated with actual military rank.
Most non-warcaster kadets who graduate from the Druzhina
become lieutenants, but a warcaster is promoted to kovnik, in
consideration of their greater responsibilities and authority.
New rastovik kovniks undergo a probationary period during
which their training is put to the test in the field. Each must
perform a focused mission or series of connected missions
involving a difficult objective with no direct oversight from
higher-ranking officers. These missions may connect to a
current conflict or, in times of peace, they may involve risky
patrols along a contested border or in an untamed wilderness
region. For example, the Ordic defenders along the Murata
Hills have often been targeted as part of such combat trials.
To accomplish their missions, the warcasters are provided
with a battlegroup of warjacks and a complement of soldiers
and support crew, but they must otherwise rely on their wits
and powers. A warcaster’s performance is evaluated at the
WARCASTERS OF KHADOR
20
end of this mission. If successful, a warcaster is promoted to
kommander and gains the arcane rank of magziev, signifying
a fully qualified warcaster. One who fails to impress remains
a kovnik and receives a cycle of corrective instruction and
missions. Failure is not an option.
It is possible, if rare, for a warcaster to arise from among the
Greylords themselves, having been a skilled arcanist before
the warcaster talent is discovered. Such individuals have a
leg up in terms of arcane expertise but must learn to perform
the other duties of warcasters. The High Kommand requires
the Covenant to reveal such members and surrender them to
general officer training. It is possible, if difficult, to uphold
warcaster responsibilities while retaining higher ranks in the
Covenant, but this requires a tricky juggling of priorities.
While every warcaster technically retains a rank in the
Covenant, the demands of Khador’s imperial mandate
prevent most warcasters from pursuing the esoteric research,
field studies, and political maneuvering required for
advancement to Covenant leadership. Obavnik Kommander
Aleksandra Zerkova is one of the few exceptions, someone
who has managed to excel and advance within the
organization without alienating the High Kommand. Some
warcasters choose to pursue such advancement when old
age and infirmity forces retirement from active duty, though
others prefer to join the High Kommand. Very few warcasters
“retire” from the military in this way; most find a more noble
end to their careers, dying in combat while earning glory for
the Motherland.
Role within the Military
Hierarchy
Although burdened with responsibilities and expected to
risk their lives fighting at the forefront of major engagements,
warcasters also enjoy considerable autonomy and liberty.
Even young warcasters are trusted with leading sizable
armed forces and controlling numerous warjacks and large
numbers of soldiers. Due to their nature as a force multiplier
and the unique perspective they gain on unfolding battles by
joining their minds with multiple warjacks, warcasters are
given tactical command of an engagement even over senior
ranking non-warcaster officers. Strategy is the purview of the
kommandants, but tactics are a warcaster’s dominion.
While warcasters are technically required to heed the High
Kommand, in practice they operate outside the ordinary
chain of command. Supreme Kommandant Gurvaldt Irusk,
himself a warcaster, serves as an operational link between
the High Kommand and most of Khador’s active warcasters,
determining where each should be deployed. A number of
these warcasters have earned special prominence through
distinguished service, each having become a living legend
among the rank-and-file. Empress Vanar has demonstrated a
willingness to indulge the needs of these men and women so
long as they are successful.
GREYLORDS COVENANT RANKS
Warcasters who have received initial training and evaluation
by the Greylords Covenant are afforded arcane ranks, which
signify their aptitude and power as arcanists. Due to the wide
scope of their responsibilities and the fact that warcasters are
preferred on the battlefield, it is rare for these individuals to
UCHENIK RASTOVIK MAGZIEV KOLDUN
A dark example of the empress’ policy in this regard is
Orsus Zoktavir, the Butcher of Khardov, whom many officers
consider a reckless madman and who inspires fear even in his
own soldiers. Despite this reputation he holds the honored
rank of kommander and has been entrusted with missions
requiring unflinching resolve. On several occasions Empress
Vanar has directly tasked him with inflicting punishment on
perceived traitors to the Motherland.
Because of the empress’ support, warcasters enjoy virtual
immunity to criminal prosecution as well as tremendous
leeway in conducting their missions. To most of these
warcasters, the military hierarchy and infrastructure exists
first and foremost to facilitate reinforcements through its
supply lines. As long as warjacks and soldiers arrive where
and when they are needed, warcasters do not bother with
many of the trivial tasks that occupy other officers. Adjutants
are assigned to them to handle such matters and free them
for their true purpose—seizing victory at all costs.
Some warcasters remain outside the military structure, such
as Great Prince Tzepesci and the crone Zevanna Agha. The
former is a high-ranking noble in addition to being engaged
to the empress, while the latter is an enigmatic figure out
of myth and legend. These individuals are obeyed like
ranked kommanders and are given similar liberties with
the empire’s supply lines. Any who might feel disgruntled
at these unconventional arrangements are wise to swallow
their opinions. In one way or another every warcaster in the
Khadoran Army serves the empress; so long as they have her
favor, they are not to be questioned.
rise above the rank of magziev, which conveys full capability
and competence. Arcane ranks have no inherent authority
outside the Covenant. A warcaster’s military rank is the real
measure of their authority.

Kommandant Gurvaldt Irusk was born to wage war. As the
chief military advisor to Empress Ayn Vanar  XI, he is the
foremost architect of the Khadoran wars of expansion. From
battle magic to combined arms, Irusk mastered every aspect
of the modern battlefield. His treatise on tactical warfare,
Irusk on Conquest, is required reading at military academies
throughout the Iron Kingdoms. His accomplishments have
inspired a generation of Khadoran officers and made his
name known throughout western Immoren.
Irusk was born to a prominent military family and trained
in the arts of warfare since birth. His mother died when he
was young, leaving his father to raise him. The retired soldier
imparted to his son his knowledge of battle, his martial
skill, and his ruthless persistence. Irusk spent his childhood
studying Khadoran military doctrine. He enlisted in the
Winter Guard several years before he could be conscripted
and was already an accomplished soldier when his superiors
realized his arcane potential. He graduated from the Druzhina
military academy with high marks and was recognized as a
full warcaster soon thereafter. It was the start of a long and
prestigious military career.
The invasion of Llael starting in the last weeks of 604  AR
cemented Irusk’s reputation as one of the greatest military
minds in history. He began the campaign with a series of
lightning attacks in the heart of winter. Irusk’s attack on
Laedry was the first real-world test of his experimental
strategy of annihilation. Irusk flawlessly coordinated artillery,
heavy infantry, and cavalry to unravel the city defenders.
This devastatingly rapid siege and similarly successful strikes
on Redwall Fortress and Elsinberg—all part of Irusk’s master
plan—led to the collapse of the kingdom’s western defenses.
The Khadoran invaders swept into central Llael and seized
a large portion of the kingdom almost uncontested. This
offensive is now considered a landmark in modern warfare.
Attentive to a fault, Irusk is an unrelenting perfectionist
whose stern demeanor carries an air of undeniable authority.
He despises political machinations, yet he has the subtle
pragmatism to cultivate friendships and alliances within
the High Kommand and even with the kayazy merchant
princes who control the purse strings of the empire. Irusk
stands ready to redraw the old maps and lead his legions to
boundless victory.

For over a century, Kommander Alexander Karchev has been
crushing the enemies of his beloved nation. After enduring the
worst horrors of war, Karchev chose a tortured existence encased
within the shell of a warjack rather than accept the peace of
death. His sheer brutality and astounding control over warjacks
make him among the most feared of Khadoran warcasters.
fight again. A decade later, he was presented with an iron
monstrosity built around a modified Berserker chassis that
combined the life-sustaining machinery he needed with the
shell of a warjack. This new body gave Karchev the mobility
for which he longed. Over his long years of service, he has
taken to the field in numerous mechanikal forms.

Karchev was already a respected Greylord magziev
and decorated warcaster of forty-two winters when the
Thornwood War broke out in 511  AR, and he led a large
battlegroup on the west flank during the Battle of the
Tongue. On the heels of the retreating Cygnarans, he pushed
into an ambush that decimated his forces. Although he was
gravely wounded, he knew he could not wait for the arrival
of reinforcements. He instead drove forward to assault the
enemy warcaster, Colonel Drake Cathmore. Karchev slew his
foe in the ensuing duel, but at a terrible cost to his own body.
Despite his horrific wounds Karchev refused to die, clinging
tenaciously to life even as he lay helpless on the field of
battle. Eventually he was discovered and returned to the
Motherland, where his body was mechanikally sustained.
Though he survived, his shattered limbs could not be saved.
Others in this position would have faded into obscurity,
but this highly decorated war hero confronted the High
Kommand and demanded a machine body be built to let him
28
The High Kommand views Karchev as a national treasure—
a brilliant arcanist and officer with more than a century of
battlefield experience. The High Kommand listens when
Kommander Karchev speaks. Indeed, Supreme Kommandant
Irusk personally chose the kommander to accompany him
in the final assault on the Cygnaran fortress of Northguard,
where Karchev cut down General Hagan Cathmore, a
descendant of Drake Cathmore.
Despite the agony inflicted by the very machines keeping
him alive, the venerable warcaster has cut a bloody path
across western Immoren. Spending the majority of his life
enclosed within the hull of a warjack has given Karchev a
special affinity for his machines, and they serve him more
like a pack of hunting wolves than as mindless constructs.
TACTICAL TIPS
Ground Zero – Roll separately for each model pushed.
Jumpstart – Remember, a model cannot stand up during a turn in which it was

Khador’s primal forests stretch across lands soaked in
memory and blood, and the stories of peasants hold truths
from time immemorial. Such accounts speak of a wizened
hag, primeval and terrible, who has advised chieftains,
monarchs, and princes and has influenced the decisions that
have shaped Khador for millennia. All too often folk tales and
superstitions are dismissed, but peasants from the Khardic
Sea to Old Umbrey know the Old Witch has watched them
for countless generations.
Though her origins are long lost, tales of the Old Witch still
circulate by firesides across Khador. The oldest stories are
retellings of Molgur myths about a hunched and shriveled
creature of shadow—a thing of slaughter that drank deeply
of the blood of the fallen and feasted upon human flesh.
Legends from the time of Khardovic describe an ugly old
woman of untold power advising the priest-king and his
council. The Old Witch appears in hundreds of later stories
demonstrating her subtle guidance of the northern peoples
of western Immoren. Some of the oldest Skirovite folk tales
speak of the time when Menoth himself walked the world
and found the Old Witch in her cave, waiting for him.
She is known by many names, but the most common is
Zevanna Agha, the Old Witch of Khador. Few accounts
describe her in detail, but most agree on certain particulars:
She appears as a decrepit, hunchbacked woman of ancient
Iron Kingdoms that stories began to mention her companion,
a primitive steamjack cobbled together by her own hand.
Built during the infancy of warjack development from parts
of wrecks left on various battlefields, the Scrapjack is a
mechanikal beast of burden that serves the witch faithfully.
She tinkers with it and adds improvements from time to
time; for example, it bears an arcane relay scavenged from
the ruins of the First Thornwood War.
The Old Witch’s occult powers are primal and ancient, but
she has had no trouble adapting to the mechanika of modern
warfare. She commands warjacks with the same arcane
prowess that draws the crows of the forest to serve her and
causes the iron claws of the earth to rend her enemies. To her,
even the most advanced machines are but puzzles, and she
has long been adept at solving them.
One legend maintains that Sveynod Skelvoro declared
himself the first Emperor of Khard at her behest and that
she has appeared to every Khadoran monarch since. The tale
claims she hammered the gold and iron from the weapons

but her troops were demolished and she found herself far outnumbered. One foe
sliced her thigh and she fell. Suddenly, the world froze. Everything around her,
including her enemies, stood encased in a layer of ice and frost. Leaning against
one of the nearby Juggernauts, she found herself able to reach into its mind. She
reactivated its cortex by mimicking the arcane sequence her untrained vision had
perceived from her kommander. Sent forth at her bidding, this warjack charged
into her adversaries.
Days later Sorscha Kratikoff was presented to the High Kommand and her queen in
Korsk. Her new talents were quickly put to the test, and it was decided she should
receive training in controlling her sorcery and warcaster ability from the enigmatic
and gifted Umbrean prince, Vladimir Tzepesci, who had earned a reputation as a
peerless tutor in these arts. In her year of study with the nobleman, she fell in love.
She saw in him ancient nobility, a deep sense of duty, and devotion to the memory
of his ancestors. This began an off-and-on romance that has had a profound effect
on both warcasters.
Both have always known their romantic relationship to be doomed given the gulf
in their status and roles in the military, yet this has not diminished their feelings for
one another. When they are apart, Sorscha often becomes emotionless and aloof,
pouring her strength and concentration into the tasks at hand. Those who see her
at these times would never suspect any ardor lingering beneath her iron discipline
and unfaltering dedication as a model Khadoran soldier and officer.

Only the infrequent presence of Dark Prince Vladimir can thaw Sorscha’s soul, if
but for a moment. “Icy resolve and loyalty to the Motherland,” she was once heard
to say, “these are what make a good soldier, not warmth and comfort.” Despite
these words, there seems little doubt her fate is tied to Tzepesci by a cord that will
not be easily broken.

Few soldiers are as hated and feared by the Motherland’s
enemies as Kommander Oleg Strakhov. This is the man the
High Kommand turns to for its most dangerous missions, for
if he cannot succeed, the task is truly impossible. Strakhov
is a consummate soldier and lives to test his limits. His
combination of ruthlessness and tactical genius has earned
him notoriety among Khador’s enemies.
Strakhov has served Khador for nearly two decades, but the
details of his service were known only to a select few until
the invasion of Llael. Strakhov spent the opening weeks of
the invasion eradicating Llael’s most competent commanders
and warcasters. One of his more significant accomplishments
was the elimination of Archduke Alreg Vladirov and his
entire command. The Umbrean was a lord general of Llael’s
army and a master tactician, and his disappearance early in
the war delivered a major blow to the Llaelese forces.
Strakhov’s final operation of the Llaelese War required
infiltrating Merywyn and destroying several major
munitions depots within its walls hours before the capital
fell. As the invasion of Llael moved from war to occupation,
Kommandant Irusk called upon the kommander, who was
recuperating from wounds sustained in Merywyn, and
together they outlined plans for what would become the new
Assault Kommandos. Irusk appointed Strakhov to train their
officer corps and forge them in the kommander’s image.
Throughout 605  AR, Strakhov personally led the Assault
Kommandos in countless battles against Cygnaran forces
occupying trenches around Northguard. The Assault
Kommandos were instrumental in overrunning Cygnar’s
forward positions at the onset of Irusk’s final attack on
Northguard. On more than one occasion, Strakhov devised
and executed dangerous and high-profile operations against
the enemy without waiting for approval from the High
Kommand. Only the overwhelming success of these missions
has kept him from a formal reprimand.
Strakhov and his ’jacks launch brutal strikes against enemy
positions, hurling themselves into the midst of trenches and
pillboxes to slaughter the enemy’s forces before they can
react. With each engagement, Strakhov changes the face of
warfare in the Iron Kingdoms to match his vision of bloody
excellence.

With trench knives in hand, Assault Kommander Oleg
Strakhov has spent decades carving a bloody trail through
the kingdoms of western Immoren, eliminating high-
profile targets and destabilizing opposing forces with well-
orchestrated strikes. Having carried out numerous operations
deep behind enemy lines and in some of the harshest
environments imaginable, Strakhov stands as a Khadoran
legend, and tales of his exploits are told throughout the
empire. Those who tell of his deeds speak of him as more
specter than man, an unseen force capable of accomplishing
impossible tasks under cover of night and leaving no
evidence of his passage. Strakhov’s sole purpose in life is
the advancement of the empire. He is an uncompromising
soldier for whom “victory or death” is a guiding tenet.
With the war between Cygnar and Khador reignited, there
is no shortage of assignments befitting a man of Strakhov’s
considerable talents. In this new war, Strakhov has been
used as a scalpel to hit the enemy at key vulnerabilities and
weaken their resolve. He has assassinated Cygnaran officers,
infiltrated pockets of the Llaelese Resistance, and even
conducted covert operations deep within Ord to sabotage
mercenary outfits accepting coin from the wrong employers.
Strakhov’s missions often come with unique challenges, and
it is the warcaster’s remarkable ability to adapt that so often
results in victory. He possesses an uncanny ability to blend in
where he is unwelcome, taking advantage of enemy uniforms
and hard-earned intelligence to avoid detection and conduct
sabotage. The kommander’s familiarity with a wide array of
combat gear facilitates this sort of subterfuge, along with his
fluency in several languages and a knack for accents. When
attempts at stealth must be set aside, the warcaster is almost
unparalleled in launching quick and decisive assaults.
Strakhov also relies on a diverse team of operatives and
dedicated soldiers serving alongside him. For over six years
he has personally managed the evolution of the Assault
Kommando Corps, one of Khador’s most elite military
outfits. Under Strakhov’s guidance they have become a
vital component of the Khadoran military, often deployed
where combat is thickest or tasked with clearing defenses
in preparation for larger invading forces. As the Assault
Kommandos expand, Strakhov has continued to oversee
their development. From their ranks he has handpicked the
most promising soldiers to fight alongside him in the field.

Even in times of old before the Iron Kingdoms, when certain lands in Khador
were the provinces of barbaric tribes, among those who rode to battle were some
possessed of rugged honor who united their people with a clarity of vision.
Chieftains ruled these hordes, and horselords ruled the chieftains. Of noble stock,
horselords ruled for generations with oppressive strength, calculated cruelty, and
a will to dominate the chaos of the world. The Tzepescis are one of the strongest
families to rule Khador’s eastern territories. Indeed, a millennia ago the Tzepescis
were the governors of Old Korska before it fell into ruin, and they even held the
throne of Khador for a time. Though reduced in influence, the Tzepesci name still
resonates with Khador’s eastern people.
Vladimir Tzepesci holds the title of great prince, a ruler of a limited number of
sovereignty over their territories. Yet he represents much more. Umbrey was its own
kingdom in ancient times, and its people have remained proud of their heritage
and eager to see that kingdom reunited; it is upon the Tzepesci family they pin this
hope. Recent conflicts created an opportunity for this to come to pass, which has
only elevated the status of Vladimir Tzepesci in the eyes of all Umbrean people.
Many esteemed and powerful families, including several other great princes, owe
his family fealty from old oaths set in bone and sworn in blood. The influence he
wields in this region has been enough to create a constant tension with the capital,
where he has at times been considered a possible threat to the Vanar dynasty. Above
all else he is a living relic of past glories and bloody deeds; prophecy delivered to the
Tzepesci kings of old tells of a great doom to befall Khador when the Tzepesci line
comes to an end. Those who know of this legend call Vladimir Tzepesci the Dark
Prince. So powerful is the blood in his veins that men shy from his gaze. He is a man
of few words, accustomed to being heard when he speaks.
As some are born to capture strength and beauty with paints or to write great
works of poetry, Vladimir was born to make war. He has waged many campaigns
in the service of his nation as a brilliant tactician as well as a potent warcaster. A
swordsman with few equals, he brings swift death to all who dare cross blades
with him. Worthy opponents he treats to longer duels, but he dispatches most
enemies with little consideration.
Vladimir takes great pride in wearing the ancient plate of his forefathers. Although
it has seen some sorcerous repair over the centuries, it is the same suit of crimson
mail his ancestor, Prince Buruvan Tzepesci, wore in battle against the Orgoth.
Vladimir has served the crown by training other warcasters, and it is no great
secret that he became intimately acquainted with the promising young Sorscha
Kratikoff during her mentoring. Little is publically known of the affair other than it
seemed to end abruptly but may have been subsequently resumed, though the two
have only rarely been seen together since. Whatever the nature of this relationship,
it changed both of them. There was some initial speculation that Sorscha was
rebuffed due to her lowly heritage, but those who know Vladimir cannot credit
such a motive and believe the situation was more complicated than it appeared.
Whatever the case, Vladimir seems determined to stay true to the legacy of his
forefathers, who were always committed to their duties even at the expense of
their own happiness. There are those who call such notions—and his adherence to
ancient tradition—exercises in vanity, but for Vladimir Tzepesci it is part of a code
that defines him and connects him to his past.
Though Vladimir is respected for his great accomplishments, not all who meet him
love him. It is whispered among the courts that the time of the Tzepescis needs to
end, and some see Vladimir as an unpleasant reminder of a vanished era. These
conspirators anticipate the day when the Dark Prince falls and the vast treasures of
the Tzepesci family are annexed into the vaults of the Khadoran Treasury.

For the first time in generations, the people of Umbrey stand
united behind their rightful lord. Reclaiming the birthright
denied his family for centuries, Great Prince Vladimir
Tzepesci rides into battle wielding weapons of the ancient
Tzepesci horselords and leading the people of Umbrey to
seize their destiny.
While the Umbrean lands have been under Khadoran rule
since the empire conquered Llael, their fate was initially
uncertain. Many among the nobles and kayazy sought
to claim them, but driven by a greater purpose, Vladimir
persisted even as he fought in the empress’ name. He steadily
won the loyalty of all Umbreans, who gathered to his banner,
whether Khadoran or former Llaelese. Proving her political
prowess, Empress Vanar declared that any noble who would
be considered for the lands of Umbrey would have to fight
to defend them against external enemies. Amid escalating
Cryxian and Sul-Menite assaults, only Vladimir was willing
to risk his life for the Umbrean people. By the empress’
decree, the two smaller volozkya and single Llaelese duchy
that had once been Umbrey were joined into a single massive
volozk beholden to Great Prince Tzepesci.
The great prince was left to defend Umbrey virtually on his
own, which freed up the soldiers stationed there to fight
in other battles. Though Vladimir has been able to defend
the volozk against the invading armies of Cryxian undead
and Protectorate zealots, Cygnar’s new king has also set his
sights on conquest of Llael, so once more Vladimir Tzepesci
must ride to battle. Should he fail, the shame will fall on him
alone. He has gathered his vassals and a great Umbrean host
to wage this latest war for his homeland, and his soldiers
know they fight for their destiny as well as the safety of their
families and ancestral lands.
Vladimir has gone so far as to cement his ties to the crown
by entering into an engagement with Empress Ayn Vanar,
thus uniting these royal lines for the first time in history.
Though other Khadoran nobles see this as a shrewd political
move, one that will make it impossible for his detractors
to accuse him of sedition, it is also a great sacrifice. Once
again Vladimir has put aside his own desires for the needs
of his nation, knowing that in this union he can avoid the
prophesized doom that might otherwise bring darkness to
his people.
Vladimir Tzepesci rides his warhorse, Vsada, at the head of
an elite guard of heavy cavalry and wields the weapons of
his ancient namesake, who usurped the throne and united
Umbrey four centuries ago. Carrying the spear in one hand
and the mace Huntsman in the other, Vladimir feels his blood
stirring with power as he lashes out with dark sorceries
during battle.

For years the Greylords Covenant has plundered crypts and
forgotten tombs for ancient secrets and weapons to employ in
the name of the Motherland. Aleksandra Zerkova is among the
most ambitious and ruthless of these occult researchers. She
has become a living repository of esoteric and unholy lore.
The Zerkova name strikes envy and fear in the ears of
northerners and southerners alike. This long line of
distinguished officers has contributed to the strategic legacy
taught at the Druzhina, Khador’s officer academy. It was a
Zerkova who led the attacks against Ord during the Second
Expansion War, and that kingdom remembers the Zerkovas
as sadistic villains. Even some Khadorans, however, associate
the family with an obsession with lost secrets and dubious
roads to power. For the last four generations in particular, an
interest in occult studies has gone hand in hand with their
patriotic zeal.
Aleksandra’s father set her to the mastery of dead languages,
and her childhood passed surrounded by dusty tomes. The
ways of magic came naturally to her. After induction into
the Greylords Covenant, Aleksandra demonstrated the
beginnings of a lifelong interest in ancient civilizations and
their mysteries. High Obavnik Arbiter Vasily Dmitrilosk
granted her authorization to travel abroad unsupervised
in search of weapons for the Motherland, and she spent
over a decade venturing into ruins such as Uld Vroggen
and descending deep into the uncovered Orgoth chambers
within the mines of Khardov. She has amassed an impressive
collection of mystical relics from across western Immoren.
Her activities were not limited to occult investigation,
however. During the “Night of Howling Wolves” preceding
the siege of Merywyn in 605  AR, Aleksandra led a strike
force against the city’s lodge of the Fraternal Order of
Wizardry. She obliterated those arrogant wizards with such
thoroughness and efficiency that the means by which they
vanished remains a mystery.
Zerkova’s stronghold was one of the first targets of the
Retribution of Scyrah when it conducted a series of attacks
inside Khador in 608 AR. Only the most highly ranked in
the Covenant knew that Aleksandra had secured priceless
Nyss relics, and few suspected she held the slumbering
elven god Nyssor. Her efforts to pry the secrets from the
god’s frozen encasement were cut short when the elves
reclaimed Nyssor’s frozen body. Though Zerkova was
forced to abandon several carefully secured facilities, this
did not deter her from her research.
Zerkova throws both soldiers and warjacks into battle with
equal abandon, and most who come to know her deem her
heartless and cruel. She will go to any length to accomplish
her goals, but Aleksandra’s voice commands respect in the
halls of power. She is a woman of destiny. Whether the legacy
of that destiny is one of triumph or ruin remains to be seen.

arcane power for her allies to seize upon and shape.
Each friendly Faction model currently in Zerkova’s
control range can immediately cast one spell without

Through her fearsome reputation, ruthless tactics, and occult
knowledge, Aleksandra Zerkova has scaled the ranks of the
Greylords Covenant faster than any believed possible. Her
willingness to utilize any knowledge available has made her
increasingly dangerous. For Zerkova, military protocols and
conventional morality are weaknesses to exploit rather than
principles to be followed. Time and again she has proven to
be a master of the occult as well as of espionage.
Years ago, Zerkova was involved in the secret seizure and
investigation of a powerful Nyss relic recovered from Korsk.
In fact, she had unknowingly taken possession of a vault
containing the frozen elven god Nyssor, a find of enormous
significance. Her studies were cut short by Iosan strikes on
two hidden Greylord facilities deep in Khador. Zerkova
ultimately entered into an unsanctioned collaboration with
the unliving elven warcaster Goreshade in a failed attempt
to recover the frozen Nyss vault, which the Retribution of
Scyrah had secured and returned to Ios. This demonstrates
the lengths she is willing to go for knowledge—even to the
point of provoking hostilities with foreign powers without
regard for the plans of the empire or the desires of her
superiors.
Her disregard for protocol earned her the ire of a number
of prominent obavniks, several of whom sought to halt her
operations, but Zerkova was aided by High Obavnik Arbiter
Vasily Dmitrilosk, the head of the Greylords Covenant.
The high obavnik found Zerkova’s research invaluable and
prized her successes despite her questionable methods. In
the face of concerns over Zerkova’s disregard for the chain
of command, the High Obavnik promoted the warcaster
to the rank of obavnik in late 608 AR, shielding her from
interference within the order.
With her promotion, Zerkova’s quest for power has only
gained momentum. With forbidden relics and an entourage
of guardians enslaved to her will, she flaunts occult power
that far overshadows that of her ancestors. Unhindered, she
delves into forgotten Orgoth and Morrdhic ruins or other
accursed places, seeking lore and relics while eliminating
anyone who gets in her way.
TACTICAL TIPS
Call to Sacrifice – Remember, if a damage point is removed from a disabled
model, the model is no longer disabled.
Countercharge – A countercharge is not a model’s combat action, so Berserk
will not trigger.

Constant battles against the enemies of the Motherland have
deepened the madness of Orsus Zoktavir and brought forth
dark echoes from the depths of his being. The only soldiers
who feel an affinity with the man commonly known as “the
Butcher” are the Doom Reavers, for they recognize in him
the same force that whispers to them and urges them to
slaughter. Even those who once endorsed unleashing Orsus
as a weapon against their enemies have begun to doubt the
wisdom of that course.
The invasion of Llael seemed to be Kommander Zoktavir’s
finest hour. He hurled himself against Redwall Fortress like a
force of nature. It had been the strongest point of resistance,
the greatest garrison of the Llaelese Army supported by
a massive contingent of Cygnaran soldiers. The stones
of Redwall fell to the Demolition Corps, and it was Orsus
Zoktavir who pushed first through the breech. He swept
through enemies as his warjacks emulated his berserk frenzy,
tearing through any obstacle in their path.
Some speculate that Kommandant Irusk hoped the Butcher
would perish in the attack and take the most uncontrollable
of his followers with him. If that was indeed the goal, it failed
60
utterly. As the conquest continued, Kommandant Irusk faced
a difficult conundrum. The Khadoran forces were in Llael to
annex land and resources, not to wipe out its inhabitants. Orsus
was mindful of these orders in the calm light of day, yet when
the battle madness came upon him, there was no stopping him.
Orsus was sent southwest, thrown into battle, and allowed
to engage his appetites where they could bring little harm
to the Motherland. When he was given more specific orders,
his objectives were often extremely hazardous, and he rarely
returned unwounded. In the final stages of the Khadoran
conquest of the Thornwood, Orsus’ bloodlust reached new
heights, and he led an unauthorized, suicidal attack on the
well-fortified Cygnaran fortress-city of Fellig. Not even his
prodigious fury and strength were sufficient to the task. When
he failed to return, some members of the High Kommand
breathed a sigh of relief.
Months later, Orsus walked out of the wilderness as if he
had never vanished. Whatever transpired during those lost
months remains unexplained. What is evident, though, is
that his rage has not diminished. Even his arcane powers are
affected by his inner demons; they surge up and then simmer
low, like the memories haunting him. Never at peace, Orsus
Zoktavir is at home only amid the chaos of war.

Orsus Zoktavir’s story is savage and brutal, and his name
synonymous with slaughter and madness. Those who have
observed him fighting side by side with his pair of two-
headed hounds see these ferocious beasts as an apt reflection
of his untamable darkness. Though his patriotism is without
question, its fanatical nature has caused him to turn on any he
suspects of acting against his nation—a precarious standard,
given that he is subject to delusions. For Kommander
Zoktavir any movement that does not bring a soldier closer
to the enemy is cowardice, and any action that does not bring
death to enemies is treason.
His killing prowess and potency as a warcaster make him
seemingly invulnerable when he is swept up in a frenzy of
destruction, but even he has limits. His self-destructive impulses
nearly laid him low when Orsus, defying his orders during the
Siege of Fellig, let himself be goaded into an impossible attack.
Outnumbered a hundred to one, he committed to an orgy of
slaughter against the horrified defenders. Violating orders,
his soldiers fled, leaving Orsus to fight on alone. Beyond
exhaustion and driven from the battlefield, he wandered off in
a delirious haze, eventually collapsing in eastern Ord.
Death would have been certain if not for an unexpected
kindness. A young Ordic servant girl found the unconscious
giant and tended his wounds. She was repaid for her good
deed with turmoil and chaos: when the Butcher learned she
had been mistreated by her masters, he flew into a rage and
demolished the estate where she worked. Even at his most
compassionate, Orsus Zoktavir is a force of destruction. He
plunged back into the Thornwood to return to the Khadoran
Army, the only place where he knew his purpose.
His return through the Thornwood was a nightmare descent
into the visions of his warped mind, exacerbated when he
was immediately confronted with accusations of criminal
misconduct. While walking the army camp to quiet his
thoughts, the Butcher discovered a dog trainer about to
put down a pair of argus. Feeling a kinship with the beasts,
Orsus saved them. Though his own comrades might shun
him, in these untamable beasts he found companionship and
acceptance. In turn the argus gained an uncompromising
master every bit as fierce as they were. He has come to
appreciate their unspoken loyalty when he feels unmoored
and incapable of discerning friend from foe.

 WARJACKS
OF KHADOR
While every nation employing warjacks has its own approach
to their design, nowhere is the favored aesthetic more plainly
evident than in the Khadoran Empire. Its war machines
embody the priorities and approach to battle preferred by
the proud and implacable warriors of the north. Although
fewer in number than the machines serving Khador’s rivals,
each Khadoran warjack is a heavy and massive engine of
destruction, layered in thick armor and possessing brutally
direct weapons intended to obliterate the foe. These are
machines designed for conquest, perfectly complementing
the Khadoran Army itself.
Khadoran Design Paradigm
Over the centuries since the founding of Khador, the
nation’s mechaniks have designed and constructed a
broad array of warjacks, each with its own function and
role on the battlefield. For over a century the Khadoran
approach to warjack manufacture has been steadily refined
and improved, yet the fundamental design paradigm has
remained consistent. In particular, Khadoran warjacks are
built to be rugged and long-lasting, to be quickly repaired,
and to continue to function even when heavily damaged.
Other nations have created more maneuverable and reactive
light warjacks to fill a variety of battlefield roles, but Khador
addresses those needs differently. The empire’s heavy warjacks
are often capable of carrying out multiple battle functions,
and their durable chassis allow them to be equipped with
staggeringly powerful weapons. To compensate for the large
number of light warjacks fielded by its enemies, Khador has
64
responded with steam-powered Man-O-War troops, which
serve a similar purpose while being easier to deploy in volume.
The Man-O-War infantry has allowed Khador to operate on
equal tactical footing, countering cortex-driven machinery
with armor-encased manpower.
There are significant reasons behind the Khadoran approach
to warjack design, especially the decision to forego
fabricating smaller light warjacks. In addition to a general
preference for heavier and more robust engines of war, there
are important resource considerations. One of the largest
obstacles the Khadoran warjack industry has faced is the lack
of rare minerals and metals required for cortex manufacture.
The artificial brain inside every steamjack is by far the most
specialized, expensive, and complicated of its systems,
each an intricate and many-layered metal sphere. Military-
grade cortexes are more sophisticated than their laborjack
counterparts, requiring greater quantities of rare and expensive
elements. These resources are relatively scarce in Khador
compared to the southern mountains, and so cortexes are at a
premium. It is a top priority of the Khadoran military to get the
most out of every cortex it can produce—to ensure each serves
as long as possible and is also well protected against destruction
in battle. The delicate arc nodes attached to warjacks employed
by several of Khador’s rivals require similar materials and are
also costly and time-consuming to produce. It has long been
Khadoran policy to eschew such devices in favor of maintaining
military-grade cortex production.
The Greylords Covenant, which is responsible for
Khadoran cortex manufacture, prefers to employ
a less-advanced cortex grade than its southern
counterparts in most of its warjacks for similar
reasons. The High Kommand does not deem this
strategy a vulnerability, as Khadoran warjack
design focuses on simpler weapons and engine
systems that do not require advanced cortexes
to regulate them. To most Khadoran mechaniks,
simplicity is a virtue. They perceive some of the
designs of their enemies to be heavily flawed
due to their reliance on delicate systems with too
many moving parts. Nothing gives a Khadoran
mechanik more joy than to see an enemy warjack
topple under a blow that his own machines can
endure without breaking stride.

There are exceptions to this rule of simplicity, and

Khador’s arsenal does include a few machines
that utilize more complicated weapons systems.
But such machines have highly specific roles or
were created to counter a particular threat, and
each has its share of problems, including the
need for frequent maintenance and specialist
mechaniks. There is currently a growing divide
between younger and older members of the
Khadoran Mechaniks Assembly on this topic. The
more youthful engineers believe they must adapt
or perish—many, for example, are eager to reverse
engineer some of the technologies of their rivals
for use in their own designs—while the more
traditional mechaniks see this pragmatism as a
betrayal of Khadoran principles.

The impact of design philosophies can be seen in

a number of ways, some less overt than others.
Khador has less variety in its heavy chassis than its
rivals, with most of its warjacks built on the exact
same architecture that has been used for nearly a
century, as exemplified by the solid Juggernaut.
This highly successful chassis was the successor
to an older and less robust frame still found
among warjacks like the Berserker, Mad Dog, and
Rager. These aging machines are maintained and
continue to serve even past the point when their
cortexes have developed dangerous instabilities.

Other chassis types exist but have been adopted

slowly and in some cases incrementally, and only
when a clear need is demonstrated. The warjacks
built on the Devastator frame were initially
intended to shoulder especially heavy armor and
support a new integrated weapons system, and this
chassis was created after Ayn Vanar specifically
challenged the Khadoran Mechaniks Assembly to
come up with a new design. The Kodiak, with its

WARJACKS OF KHADOR
65
 powerful expanded engine, was geared toward allowing the
warjack to quickly traverse difficult terrain. While Khador’s
designs are conservative, innovation does occur—usually in
the form of occasional special projects like the Behemoth. But
the majority of Khador’s warjack production relies upon the
ease of sharing parts across similar chassis.
The preference for simplicity over complexity is especially
evident in the weapons employed by Khadoran warjacks.
These machines wield a number of highly effective
mechanikal weapons, like the Juggernaut’s ice axe, but even
these killing tools are relatively simple compared to finicky
southern apparatus. So too with Khadoran ranged firepower.
Some degree of complexity is required for a functional
auto-loading cannon or mortar, but Khadoran mechaniks
have made these systems as resilient as possible. Similarly,
Khadoran warjacks rely on delivering high-explosive
yields and heavy shells rather than on pinpoint accuracy
or extended range. Even the nation’s ranged warjacks are
engineered to close on the enemy after firing rather than
to conduct a protracted shooting engagement. This posture
affects the behavior and tactics of these warjacks, which are
generally aggressive and direct.
Logistics & Infrastructure
Khador’s newly invigorated infrastructure and military
reforms have not had a significant impact on its approach to
warjack design. Even with the captured resources of Llael,
the northern nation still lacks the precious metals necessary
for the fabrication of warjack cortexes in large quantities.
Because of this scarcity, the Khadoran Mechaniks Assembly’s
ruling body, the Mekaniburo, continues to allocate most of
WARJACKS OF KHADOR
66
its resources to the creation of the medium-grade cortexes
intended for heavily armored and highly survivable warjacks.
Within the last century, warjack fabrication techniques
have been greatly standardized and streamlined, and the
Khadoran military industry is now a cohesive and ordered
assembly process stretching across factories in multiple
cities, each connected by well-defended railways. Different
systems and parts are created in far-flung corners of the
empire and then brought together and assembled into
fully functional machines of war. The bulk of this work is
done by members of the Khadoran Mechaniks Assembly,
headquartered at the Rigevnya Complex in the capital of
Korsk. Other sizable manufacturing centers are located in
Khardov, Volningrad, and Skirov, as well as the captured
former Llaelese capital of Merywyn.
Warjacks are massive machines not easily transported from
place to place, though the expansion of the railways has
facilitated such logistics a great deal. Khador has proven
particularly quick to lay new track across the Motherland as
well as through newly conquered territories. Stout wagons
hauled by oxen or draft horses take warjacks where the rail
cannot, and if necessary the metal giants can travel under
their own power, although doing so consumes prodigious
amounts of coal and water.
Ongoing war has forced the construction of new firebases—
forward positions at key points where ample supplies of
coal, water, food, ammunition, and weapons are placed for
resupply. As the front lines have shifted with the vicissitudes
of war, more of these bases have been built to allow warcasters
and warjacks to strike wherever they are needed. Some
firebases become permanent fortifications as they expand
into true command posts. A network of roads and resupply
points stretches from the war front through occupied
territories and ultimately to the centers of production and
industry deep within the Khadoran interior.

Colossals
The last few years have seen the rise of new challenges
and threats, forcing the High Kommand and the Rigevnya
Complex to adapt. Proving they were up to the task of
quick thinking and innovation, Khadoran leaders began an
emergency project in 608  AR to create the first Khadoran
colossals. The need to develop considerably larger warjacks,
each carrying a correspondingly more impressive array
of firepower, was a reaction to intelligence brought by
Khadoran spies.

KHADORAN WARJACK
SERVICE MARKERS
Warjacks that have served in notable battles are often
decorated with service markers to denote their length and
regions of service. The warjacks do not notice such distinction,
but the honors inspire confidence in the soldiers fighting
alongside them.
SIEGE OF MERYWYN
The new Khadoran Empire was born the day
Merywyn fell and surrendered to Khador, and
this marker distinguishes the warjacks that
fought during the lengthy and difficult battle
that crushed the spirit of the Llaelese rulers.
Soldiers who played important roles in this
fight wear a service medal of similar design.
ASSAULT AT REDWALL
The attack on Redwall Fortress was the
most crucial of the initial assaults during the
Llaelese invasion, because the fortification
was the strongest western bastion of
Llaelese and Cygnaran armed forces.
Warjacks with this marker were hurled
against the fortress under the leadership of
Kommander Orsus Zoktavir.
THE FALL OF NORTHGUARD
Although Khadoran forces would eventually
withdraw from the Thornwood, the fall of
Cygnar’s mightiest northern fortress late in
607 AR is held as one of the greatest victories
in the last few decades, and the warjacks that
survived this clash proudly bear this marker.
Through espionage Khador learned that Cygnar was already
well on the way to developing a new generation of colossals
quite different from the massive but inefficient machines first
deployed against the Orgoth. Taking advantage of modern
advances in cortexes, metallurgy, articulated movement
systems, ranged weaponry, and other warjack systems, these
new colossals were bound to change the face of modern
warfare. Had Cygnar accomplished its goal unimpeded, it
might have gained a decisive edge.
Given unprecedented support by Empress Vanar, the
Khadoran Mechaniks Assembly rose to the challenge. Entire
factories once dedicated to regular warjack production were
overhauled and repurposed, while the brightest Khadoran
minds drew ambitious diagrams and blueprints for new
designs. Resources were gathered from across the empire in
a massive collaborative effort. Through these measures, the
first of the mighty Conquests was unveiled in record time and
put into the field even ahead of the first Cygnaran colossal.
This achievement clearly demonstrated the capability and
resolve of Khador’s skilled citizenry. Other designs such
as the Victor soon followed, and each of these mighty war
machines has since fought at the vanguard of Khador’s
armies, employed by indomitable warcasters to ensure the
ongoing supremacy of the Motherland.

All Berserkers have the roughened look of more than a century of service and
cortexes that have become unstable over time, but Drago stands out even among
such company. The battered ’jack serves as a prime example of why mechaniks
traditionally wipe most old cortexes clean: the passing of long years has removed
many of the restraints against incidental violence that once held the machine back.
It unleashes unmitigated brutality at the slightest provocation.
Drago is almost certainly the oldest warjack still seeing regular service in the
Khadoran military. It is fitting the machine still serves the Tzepesci line, since
long ago the family provided the financial backing for the Berserker chassis. Even
in those years the Tzepescis had demonstrated an unusual proclivity for siring
sorcerers and warcasters and therefore had a stake in developing a chassis that
suited their approach to war.
Drago would eventually be named in homage to Drago Tzepesci, who fought in
also called Ivan the Frenzied, when he briefly seized the Khadoran throne from
famous battle. Tzepesci had a reputation for martial prowess, bloodlust in combat,
and a tendency toward recklessness that eventually cost him his life. The warjack
has since been passed down to other warcasters of the Tzepesci line, but it seems
to have developed a particular affinity for Vladimir Tzepesci, perhaps because
the latest great prince feels an undeniable connection to the ancestor who is the
warjack’s namesake.
Some of Vladimir’s vassals find it peculiar that their well-disciplined and noble
lord enjoys the company of this savage and seemingly untamable machine, but to
Vladimir, Drago represents his bloodline’s warrior spirit. Even when it has been
severely damaged, Drago demonstrates tenacity, resilience, and a refusal to give
up the fight. It will crawl toward its opponents even if its legs lie shattered beneath
it. When let loose upon the enemy, the machine seems fueled by bloodlust, almost
reveling in each death like some demon of folklore. The Dark Prince understands
that victory sometimes requires unbridled violence, but the restraints required to
keep Drago’s brutality in check in times of peace also serve to remind him of the
dark emotions that color his own temperament.
Given its tendency to hurl itself into harm’s way, Drago requires frequent repair,
but the mechaniks who maintain the machine see no need to keep it neat or tidy. Its
armored plates and spikes bear the evidence of countless engagements. Each nick
and dent is a battle honor. Drago itself salvaged its current armament in Llael, taking
its executioner axes from wrecked Destroyers that littered the battlefield outside
Merywyn. With an axe in each iron fist, Drago faces enemies with rampant ferocity.

Given the difficult task of completing the project ahead of Cygnar, Blaustavya
quickly arranged for the colossal’s components to be fabricated in numerous
factories and workshops across several major cities, particularly Ohk, Khardov,
and Korsk. He also modified the Cygnaran arcanum supernum cortex to account
for his country’s dearth of several vital rare minerals required for its refined metal
alloys. This Khadoran variant cortex was less sophisticated, but it could be built
quickly and more cheaply. The engineers and mechaniks tasked with designing the
Conquest rose to the challenge of devising weapons powerful enough to be worthy
of the colossal without requiring the same degree of cortex supervision.
Ultimately, they looked to the massive guns of the Khadoran Navy’s ironhull warships,
whose enormous turrets boasted cannons designed to be fired in tandem, the recoil of
one being used to reload the other. This principle proved crucial, as it prevented the need
for the Conquest’s cortex to regulate reloading. The main guns were supplemented by
two sets of twin-linked cannons mounted in the colossal’s shoulders.
It soon became clear that the raw materials needed to build the Conquest would be
a burden, but the leadership indulged no compromises. Thousands of citizens in
Korsk and Khardov went without coal for a winter, and hundreds froze to death—
an unfortunate but necessary sacrifice made to fuel the foundries required to smelt
ore for the Conquest’s hull. During production, laborers worked around the clock,
some dying of exhaustion or in accidents brought on by fatigue.
The combined efforts resulted in a resounding victory. The first operational
Conquest paraded through the Khadoran capital for the benefit of the people and
the empress weeks before the debut of the Cygnaran Stormwall. With such a clear
symbol of their unrivaled superiority, the Khadorans unleashed the first Conquests
upon those who would deny them their right to empire.

 TROOPS
OF KHADOR
Khadorans are a hardy people willing to lay down their lives
for the empire. Service within the Khadoran military is both
an honor and a tradition, and those who take up the call and
march forward in the name of the Motherland do so with
steadfast resolve and a love for their country in their hearts.
Recruitment &
Training
The duty to serve in the national defense is seen by most
Khadorans as a basic part of life, a vital aspect of becoming
a mature adult. A single tour is required of all men, with the
exception of those with extreme physical disability. Women
are not required to enlist, but those who are without children
are encouraged to serve either in the active military or among
myriad support units for at least one tour.
Enlistment can begin as early as fifteen years of age, and those
who have not been exempted must enlist by their eighteenth
year or risk imprisonment and forced service. Those caught
attempting to evade conscription are sentenced to serve
without pay in penal battalions stationed in the least desirable
outposts and stations, such as Icewatch or one of the other
isolated bases along the western seaboard or the freezing
mountains along the Rhulic border. The only members of
Khadoran society who regularly evade conscription are the
criminal bratyas in the larger urban cities, most of whom are
wanted for a variety of crimes.
96
After receiving their initial training, most conscripts enter the
Winter Guard, but those demonstrating exceptional qualities
or special aptitudes can apply for the more prestigious and
higher-paying specialized branches of the Khadoran Army.
Each force has its own requirements, and some are extremely
stringent. Branches like the Man-O-War and Iron Fang units,
for example, require recruits of particular height and strength,
as their armor cannot be borne by lesser men. In some remote
areas conscripts can fulfill their obligation by serving in a
local militia or as part of the irregulars, employed as scouts,
hunters, and ambushers. Irregulars do not receive the same
systematic training or standard equipment as the Winter
Guard, but they have other useful skills and are deployed
alongside regular military.
Rank Structure
A newly conscripted member of the Winter Guard holds the
rank of privat. Conscripts who survive their first tour of duty
and re-enlist might rise to the first non-commissioned officer
rank of korporal, leading a small fire team. The toughest and
most successful korporals may in time earn promotion to
lead squads of Winter Guard as sergeants, the highest rank
that most in the Guard ever achieve. As with other ranks
in the Khadoran Army, there are several grades of sergeant
related to pay and time served. Sergeants of the Winter
Guard may be given broad authority to lead multiple squads,
particularly in protracted battles. More typically, however,
operational command is given to a lieutenant, the first tier of
commissioned officers.
Entry into the commissioned ranks by attending the
Druzhina Academy in Korsk is easier for those of noble
blood, while those of lesser stock must prove exceptional to
earn a commission. Although kommandants are opposed to
the practice, their limited oversight cannot entirely prevent
nepotism and coin from greasing the wheels, and it is not
unknown for a candidate from a wealthy family to be given
an officer commission before a poorer candidate of equal or
greater aptitude. In general, though, skilled officers will rise
above their less competent peers.
After fulfilling their military service, citizens are allowed
to return to their lives and resume whatever trade or craft
they practiced before enlistment. They do have the option
to re-enlist. While most Winter Guard who desire to return
to civilian life encounter little resistance, soldiers enrolled in
more elite forces are often pressured to continue their military
career, particularly if considerable resources have been
expended in their training. Warcasters are rarely allowed to
return to civilian life and must remain in the military unless
severe physical or mental disability prevents further service.

Kadets graduate with the rank of lieutenant and are

immediately expected to lead a group of multiple squads,
called a force. Competent officers can achieve the rank of
kapitan relatively quickly and take on responsibility for a
kompany comprising up to six forces and their lieutenants.
Those who dedicate themselves to a life in the military and
who demonstrate considerable leadership capability may
rise to the higher command ranks.
ARMY RANKS
Most branches of the Khadoran Army wear their insignia on
the left shoulder and a Khadoran Anvil on the right. Irregular
or covert forces, however, might place the insignia less
prominently or leave it off entirely. Those at the lowest rank of
privat do not wear insignia.

Above the rank of kapitan is the kovnik, who oversees

battalions of troops. Above these officers are the kommanders,
who lead legions or kommands, depending on seniority.
Khadoran warcasters receive the rank of kommander upon
completion of their training. The more senior kommanders
report to the kommandants leading the major army divisions
and the supreme kommandants leading each of Khador’s KORPORAL SERGEANT KOMMANDER
armies. Premier Mhikol Horscze wields absolute authority
over the High Kommand and thereby all of Khador’s military
might. During times of war and crisis, there may not be time
for commanding officers in the field to await decisions from
the High Kommand. As senior-ranked warcaster, Supreme
Kommandant Irusk is entrusted to make snap decisions in
the premier’s stead.

Vassals and heirs of the great princes have their own martial LIEUTENANT KOMMANDANT

traditions to maintain, and their relationship with the

military is complex. It is not uncommon for such nobles
and their vassals to serve in the military, sometimes earning
high ranks. The degree to which these nobles actively lead
army forces in the field varies greatly, with some rarely
leaving their ancestral lands or the capital. In such cases
their military rank and posting is considered honorary, and
another equivalent officer will be stationed to command

Deployment & Service

Upon completion of their training, soldiers are assigned to
kompanies within one of Khador’s three armies. There is an
exception for those with arcane talents, who instead devote
their service to the Greylords Covenant, which operates
independently of the other military branches. New recruits KOVNIK PREMIER
are typically assigned to established kompanies to ensure a
mix of veterans among soldiers who lack combat experience.

on past any hope of victory, yet they cared little for such honors. Volkov refused
to reconstitute his kompany even after his superiors promoted him to kapitan. He
pointed to Kolsk and Yarovich and said that they carried the weight of the fallen dead.

The sight of this trio joining an engagement sends an immediate thrill through
their war-weary allies. The Great Bears have fought in countless battles over the
last two decades, and on many occasions their tireless ferocity has turned the tide.
Volkov, the bearded and dark-eyed leader admired by every officer, has a feel
for the shifting fortunes of battle and an uncanny ability to show up where most
needed. The older Kolsk’s Sabers of Service testify to twenty unflinching years in
uniform, and he serves as the lieutenant every kapitan and kommandant dreams
of having at their side. He never questions his orders and can find ways to execute
the most impossible plans. Yarovich, the wildest of the three, is called “the Brute”
by some, but with affection. A kovnik once baited Yarovich into a fight outside a
drinking hall, thinking himself safe behind his uniform, but Yarovich killed him
with a single punch. No one dares pick a fight with Yarovich now, and his laughter
rings out on the battlefield as he sweeps his axe in killing arcs alongside his Great
Bear brothers.

TACTICAL TIPS
COUNTERCHARGE – When an enemy model advances
and ends its movement within 6˝ of this model and in
its LOS, this model can immediately charge it. This
model can use Countercharge only once per round and
not while engaged.
GUARD DOG – While this model is within 3˝ of its
warcaster and is not knocked down or stationary, its
warcaster gains Parry  and +2 DEF against melee
attack rolls, and models attacking the warcaster do not
gain back strike bonuses.
RETURN – Immediately after resolving a charge
attack, this model can make a full advance toward its
warcaster. This model cannot be targeted by free strikes
during this movement.

After his graduation Malakov was promoted to kovnik and given the arcane standing
of rastovik, the rank at which a junior warcaster is traditionally sent into the field
before earning the responsibilities of a full kommander and magziev. At this stage,
every warcaster must prove capable in combat alongside a battlegroup, leading
subordinates while operating without direct supervision. Malakov’s standing and
reputation earned him the singular honor of a special mission: delivering the first
new Conquests to Supreme Kommandant Irusk deep in hostile territory. Though
Malakov handled himself well, the mission’s complications provided a harsh lesson
on the gulf between theoretical training and the realities of war.

In many respects Malakov views people the same way he sees his warjacks: as
disposable means to an end. Friendship and loyalty have little value to him. He
is an adroit manipulator, able to switch smoothly from charm to intimidation in
any situation. Malakov’s ruthlessness is also reflected in his cold intellect in battle.
No sacrifice is too great in his quest for victory, and it is likely many soldiers will
find themselves placed in the path of bullets meant for him. His superiors might
overlook his apparent disregard for those serving under him, however, so long as
he brings glory to the Motherland.

his deeds spread. Even the warlike Nyss of the Shard Spires learned to avoid Yuri’s
hunting grounds and called him slyeshar, the “maddened bear.”

The destruction of the Winter Guard kompany drew the ire of the 3rd Border
Legion, who made bringing the killer to justice a top priority. Yuri made sport of
his hunters by leading them into switchback ambushes and bone-crushing traps.
A procession of local manhunters and highly skilled agents in the service of Great
Prince Bolovric was set on Yuri’s trail. Yuri delighted in testing the manhunters
who came to slay him. He called them out before ending their lives with a quick
sweep of his axe.

Such a man as Yuri could suffer only one of two fates: execution or service to the
state. The four northern great princes wintering at the Haus Prinkov in the city
of Tverkutsk decided the latter option seemed less costly, so they sent an offer of
amnesty on the condition that Yuri lend his talents to the High Kommand. Yuri
accepted the bargain with surprising enthusiasm. He has proven true to his word,
destroying the enemies of the Motherland where and when required. He has even
gained a following among Khadoran wilderness fighters, many of whom seek
him out to learn the ways of the hunt. They could find no better teacher, and Yuri
instructs best by grim example.

While Yuri has no friends, he has found a bloodstained camaraderie with both
the doom reaver Fenris and the Butcher of Khardov. When Orsus Zoktavir went
missing after the siege of Fellig, some thought Yuri somehow responsible, but the
persistence of their association since the Butcher’s return quelled the rumors. The
soldiers of the Winter Guard still shudder to see these inhuman monsters keep
such close company.

highly detailed models designed for maximum modeling
and painting enjoyment. Each model is a canvas on which
to unleash your own creativity and imagination. You can
choose to try your hand at the tried-and-true P3 Studio
scheme, dive deeper into the Iron Kingdoms setting with an
alternate paint scheme drawn from the lore and background
of your Faction, or throw convention to the wind and create
a completely original look for your models. Whatever your
choice, few things are as rewarding as bringing your army to
life with your brush and some paints.
When painting an army, as in life, the fun truly lies in the
journey more than in the destination. And like every journey,
the road to a fully painted force begins with a crucial first
step—in this case, deciding how you want your army to look!
The following pages contain color guides and quick tips
designed to provide inspiration for your Khador painting
adventure. We begin with a look at models painted in the
traditional studio scheme for the Khadoran Army. This scheme
is shown throughout the model gallery on pages 126–133.
Whether or not you decide to emulate the studio scheme, it
is a great foundation to draw from with its bold, imperialistic
reds, stark contrasting black, and rich, regal gold.
Next we present some alternative approaches to painting your
Khador models. The Khadoran military is filled with notable
companies and regiments that are easily distinguishable by
their individual battledress. Such regimental colors include
the olive drab of the infamous 5th Border Legion, the crisp
winter white of the 95th Frost Wolves, and the umber brown
of the Howling Wolves Iron Fang Kompany. By combining
ideas from the setting, the studio scheme, and the real world,
you can easily create a unique look for your army that still
feels right at home in the Iron Kingdoms.
Finally, for those who really want to flex their creative
muscles, we present a radically different paint scheme drawn
straight from the imagination of the painter who created it,
as well as some great examples of Khador models painted
by the WARMACHINE and HORDES community to inspire
your own unique creations. Choosing a more original or
whimsical approach can result in a truly eye-catching army,
but such schemes rely on careful planning and a willingness
to experiment with multiple combinations of colors until
everything has been dialed in just right to create a balanced
yet visually striking effect. When it comes to your army’s
special look, inspiration can spring from anywhere.
Regardless of which direction you decide to take in painting
your own Khadoran force, we hope this guide provides you
with the spark needed to set your imagination on fire as you
sit down with brush in hand to create an army as individual
as you!

Painter’s Inspiration
The key color for nearly every Khador model is the
bright primary red of Khador Red Base. The other colors
used in the studio paint scheme were carefully chosen
to take advantage of the color contrast to create a look
that is visually striking without being busy. Because the
warm Khador red is such a bright, strong color, we used
the cold and muted tones such as Thornwood Green
and Greatcoat Grey to balance the color scheme. For a
professional look, remember this strategy of balancing a
single strong primary color with contrasting muted tones
whether formulating your own alternate paint schemes
or recreating the studio scheme laid out here.

Painter’s Inspiration
The 95th “Frost Wolves” Winter Guard Battalion is part
of the 3rd Border Legion that guards Khador’s interior.
Charged with watching over Uldenfrost and the Targoss
Forest, the 95th is viewed as a comfy, if cold, assignment
by most Khadorans due to the extreme distance between
Uldenfrost and the active war fronts. However, the
95th has seen its fair share of bloody fighting in recent
years due to the rise of the dragon Everblight and his
legion of blighted Nyss, ogrun, and dragonspawn. The
brutal guerilla-style warfare against this nefarious foe
has honed the 95th into skilled wilderness fighters, able
to go toe to toe with their blighted foes in one of the
harshest landscapes in Immoren.

permafrost-covered landscapes of northern Khador and

contrast starkly with the deep fatigue green of the soldiers’

armor and sashes. Cold steel and warm bronze tones provide
striking accent colors, whether they are applied to the
weapons of the 95th’s warjacks or to the medals decorating
its officers. A tertiary use of black stands out dramatically
against the broad white base of the scheme.

PAINTING TIPS
When painting a black element, be sure to leave 60–70 percent
of the surface pure black. This ratio ensures that the area comes
across as black and not grey or blue.

Painter’s Inspiration
By Dan Roman

I’ve long been a fan of Khador’s 5th Border Legion and

how it uses the traditional red as an accent rather than
the dominant color. I wanted to do something similar
for my army and give it a scheme that implied a certain
history or style of combat. Originally, I sought a military
blue-grey, intending to imply ties to Gurvaldt Irusk.
After some experimentation, though, I found an icy mix
that was quite striking. Underbelly Blue contrasts with
the desaturated shadows, while Frostbite as a highlight
suggests the trace light of a pale grey sky.

I keep the placement of red and black generally consistent

across my army but make slight variations to suit each
model. Winter Guard are mostly grey with duller reds,
while warcasters and characters stand out with plenty of
shiny red armor. Snow and a few tufts of hardy grass on

the base complement the theme. The result is an army that

looks like it hails from the far north, its troops able to conceal
themselves among snowdrifts before crashing into the enemy
like an unstoppable avalanche.

PAINTING TIPS
High-ranking officers in the Khadoran military have badges and
medals to show their rank and achievements. After you apply a
matte finish, reclaim these areas with Solid Gold followed by a
mix of Solid Gold and Radiant Platinum. This effect makes the
medal stand out against the other golds on the model.
