MAGISTERIX ELSPETH VON DRAKEN
The Dark Lady of Nuln, the Graveyard Rose
For three generations the name of Elspeth von Draken,
Magisterix of the Amethyst College and arch-wizard of the
Lore of Death, has been spoken of in hushed tones in the
reeking tavern gutters and vaulted noble halls of Nuln alike.
And for three generations her lonely, blackened tower has
stood at the edge of the Gardens of Morr on the outskirts of
the great city, and stories of the 'Graveyard Rose' have been
used to frighten recalcitrant children home before nightfall
lest 'the dark lady snatch them up!'. Yet despite these stories
few have ever paused to think what exactly the admitted
presence of von Draken in the city actually means, and fewer
yet could guess at her true power or influence, Furthermore
the few foolhardy or overenthusiastic witch hunters, unaware
of her relationship to the governing powers of Nuln or too
fanatically sure of their own righteousness to care, who have
attempted to delve deeper into her business or storm her
tower have been swallowed up so completely that they have
never been able to share anything they have learned.
The truth is that Elspeth von Draken is bet one in a long
bloodline touched by the winds of magic, a bloodline that has
produced both monsters and saviours in its time. She is also
one of the most powerful Amethyst wizards of the age, but
one who will have little to do with the daily machinations or
power-politics of the Imperial Colleges of Magic in which
she was once student and still in theory holds fealty (for
which many within its ranks are profoundly grateful), and
with whom she now sits in an uneasy truce. Instead she is an
obsessive experimenter and mystic who goes where she will,
and has collected and collated a storehouse of mystical
artefacts and lore which she guards jealously and has become
so saturated with the force of Shyish, the Amethyst wind of
Death, that there are some who whisper she is no longer
human at all, a theory perhaps given credence by her almost
spectral, pallid aspect, which has remained unchanged for
decades.
Despite her reclusive nature, dividing her time it is said
between her tower in Nuln and another like it hidden within
the Grey Mountains, or in search of lost lore, she is however
a true scion of the Empire, and the bane of its foes where they
cross her path. She also has long standing pacts and alliances
both with the Church of Morr and the ruling council of Nuln
to come to its aid in times of war in return for their alliance in
turn. Balthazar Celt, current patriarch tithe Imperial Collages
of Magic, is understandably wary of von Draken's
1
 independence and power, and has long had his agents keep
track of her where they can. Over the last score of years they
have reported a dozen conflicts both widely known and
hidden where von Draken has ruled the victor against terrible
enemies such as the Mire Hulk Rawbones who had been
devouring whole villages along the lower River Sol and
demanding a bloody tribute in young limbs to the Vampire
Vashara of Lahmia who had sought to corrupt the noble
Jaegersbruk family of Phildorf and turn the city into a
shadow-realm of undeath. While Elspeth von Draken
continues to concern herself with her own affairs, and stand
as a protector of the Empire. Gelt must do no more than
watch, but there are those beneath him in the hierarchy of
Wizards who fear that Gelt's suspicion of the powerful von
Draken may yet provoke a deadly conflict one day between
them.
During the crisis of the Chaos host of Tamurkhan, Elspeth
von Draken appeared in the Council of the Countess
Emmanuelle like a spectre of death itself, gowned in robes so
black as to appear as living darkness and bearing a keening
scythe so sharp it seemed to murder the still air. It was her
council that the Countess Emmanuelle took in forming up her
armies to defend Nuln itself rather than meet Tamurkhan in
the open field of battle, and such was the fear that came with
Elspeth von Draken's presence that few gainsaid her despite
the cost the strategy entailed in lands, livestock and human
life. On the seventh day of the great battle, when Tamurkhan
sought to raise up a great and nightmarish ritual to appease
his dark god and brought forth an unholy tide of Daemons to
attack the city, Elspeth von Draken took to battle aback a
Carmine Dragon. The dragon's wrath unleashed all-
consuming blasts of amaranthine lighting while her magical
power contested with, the might of the Servants of Decay.
After the battle, those that saw her claimed she had faded to
no more than an insubstantial shadow from her trials, and it
was years afterwards before she was seen abroad again, her
pale and youthful aspect restored once more.

CARMINE DRAGON
Carmine, or Encarmine Dragons as they are sometimes
known to dark legend, are strange and rare beasts even
among their storied kin. They are born, it is said according to
2
arcane lore, when a dragon lair in which it is spawned has
become saturated by Shyish, the Amethyst wind of death,
which is gathered and magnified within the heart and soul of
the dragon to be born. They are named for their strange and
lustrous scales, supple as sin and harder than steel, which
begin a deep ruby red when they are young, darkening to a
purple so deep as to be almost black as they age, Carmine
Dragons are sinister, clever and deadly creatures, and
considered spectres of death in many ancient tales, and one's
appearance in the lore of the Dwarfs is always seen as an
omen that presages disaster. They are reputed to lair in dark
swamps, ancient battle sites and the ruins of fallen cities –
anywhere where death has had lease on a great scale, for in
some way the echoes of destruction are said to feed their
power, and the spirits of the dead whisper to them in the
darkness.
The wrath of a Carmine Dragon is truly terrible to behold,
and only rarely will they ever submit to an alliance, let alone
to be ridden, save as part of some dark purpose or design of
their own, although if they do, it is usually only to one
themselves knowledgeable in dark and arcane lore.
SPECIAL RULES: Fly (7), Natural Armour (3+).
Coruscating Blast: The Carmine Dragon's breath weapon is
a sorcerous blast of powerful Amethyst magic capable of
withering metal and rendering flesh to dust as if millennia
had passed in mere seconds.
This breath weapon works similarly to determining the
effects of a cannon shot (see the Warhammer rulebook). The
maximum range of the attack's target point is 12" away from
the monster and may be treated just like a normal breath
weapon. After the target point has been selected, roll the
Artillery dice to create a line of effect for the blast travelling
in a straight line away from the dragon (just as for
determining a 'bounce' for a cannon shot). A Misfire result
should be re-rolled. Any model caught in the line of the blast
suffers D3 wounds with a strength equivalent to 10, minus
the target's Toughness score, with no Armour saves possible.
MAGIC ITEMS:
The Pale Scythe (Magic Weapon)
A pale scythe more made of shadow than substance, this
weapon said to be of Elspeth's own making is attuned to the
power of Shyish, the wind of death, focusing and
concentrating it to her will.
This weapon has the Killing Blow special rule, and as a focus
for deathly energies it adds +1 to Elspeth von Draken's
dispelling rolls.
Death's Timekeeper (Enchanted Item)
This hourglass is an ancient and storied artefact, it is said to
contain as its measuring sand the dusty remnants of a dead
god of old, and Van Draken has spent much of her
unnaturally long life studying its mysteries. With it she has
perfected some limited measure of control over time and
death itself.
Once per player turn, Elspeth von Draken can re-roll a single
dice of your choice concerning her or the Carmine Dragon
(this can include attacks, saving throws, magic dice and the
Artillery dice used to determine the Carmine Dragon's
Coruscating blast if desired). If this re-roll is not used, at the
end of her player's turn Elspeth von Draken may recover a
wound previously lost in the game.
 THEODORE BRUCKNER
The Hand of Judgement, the Titan Headsman, Champion of Nuln
The feared warrior Theodore Bruckner serves as
the Countess Emmanuelle of Nuln's headsman and
personal and judicial Champion – a role that exists
to meet the ancient right of trial by combat
available to die Empire's aristocracy, except after
the commission of the direst of crimes. This
makes Bruckner, in effect, both the
personification of bloody-handed justice in the
city and death incarnate to the Countess political
enemies. A giant of a man, dour, ruthless and
taciturn, he towers head and shoulders over even
the sturdy folk of Wissenland who make up the
majority of Nuln's citizenry, and it is of-little
surprise that many tales have grown up to
rewound him. Some stories attribute his great size
to sinister origins in Norsca, darkly tainted blood
or even alchemical experimentation at the
Countess's behest. The truth however lies
unknown, save to Bruckner himself and perhaps
his patron. He is famed as a savage and skilled (if
unsubtle) fighter and most of all for his prodigious
– some say inhuman – strength. Such is his
physical power that during his judicial duel with
the noted swordsmen Lord Hanz Kraster, that
after Kraster by virtue of superior speed and
technique had managed to disarm the hulking
Bruckner, undeterred, the Champion of Nuln
grappled his plate-armoured opponent, lifted him
aloft and snapped his back with his bare hands.
For Bruckner such mystique as his mysterious
origins and might have created serve him well,
enhancing the reputation his bloody record has
inspired, sowing fear and apprehension in those
that ' would face him in combat or scheme and
plot behind the Countess Emmanuelle's back
Bruckner is however no general or war-leader,
and he has no talent or taste for such things, even
if others would follow him - which is doubtful
given the hatred his name engenders amid die
burghers and lordly families of Nuln. Instead he is
content to fight and kill at his mistress's
command, and has lasted over a decade in his
highly paid office, making him the longest serving
Champion of Nuln in living memory.
With the threat of Tamurkhan's host ravaging its
way northward, Bruckner rode out with Nuln's
army, as he had before, astride the huge and near-
uncontrollable Demigryph 'Reaper' – itself a
freakishly large example of its kind taken from
Nuln's war menagerie. At the Countess' command,
Bruckner had taken an oath, sworn before the
great council of the city to slay Tamurkhan for his
crimes and despoliations against Wissenland, and
at his mistress's insistence, he had taken with him
a talisman from the hand of the Wizard, Elspeth
von Draken, to protect him from the malign
powers of the enemy – a decision that would have
fateful consequences as events unfolded.

 JUBAL FALK
Castellan-Engineer of Nuln
Nuln, as one of the greatest cities of the Old World and
formerly the capital of the Empire in times past, is rich in
history, wealth and power, and possesses many lauded
institutions famed far and wide. One of the greatest of these
in Nuln's case is the Imperial Gunnery School, a College of
Engineers rivalled in the Empire only by that of Altdorf, as
well as the largest and most productive blackpowder works
and cannon-foundries anywhere west of the Worlds Edge
Mountains, save perhaps for those hidden in the deep Dwarf
holds. Apprentices and military men from across the Empire
and beyond are drawn to study at the Gunnery School, while
the weapons and branded powder kegs that pour out from it
are traded across the world, and have long bear a keystone of
Nuln's wealth and economy.
What is perhaps less well known is that the Gunnery School
also maintains its own force at arms – the 'Iron Companies' –
who serve both as part of the standing armies of Nuln itself
by ancient treaty with the line of Electors, and also are active
in the defence of Wissenland as well as standing guard on the
famous artillery trains of Nuln in service of the wider Empire.
Most numerous of these are the Ironsides, regiments of
handgunners made up from the apprentices and retainers of
the School, who are fitted out in a panoply of black-enabled
iron plate armour reflecting the wealth and status of their
patrons. The current field commander of the Ironsides is
Jubal Falk, an engineer with a flair for tactical matters who
many see as a rising star and future Guildmaster of the
school. Born a cooper's son on the river wharfs of Nuln.
Falk's natural talents and dogged enforcement of discipline
have seen him rise rapidly in the ranks of the Ironsides, and
he is respected be those under him both for his skills as a
military engineer and as an honourable man if one
notoriously unforgiving of slackness or incompetency.
Already a seasoned soldier at the time of the Chaos assault of
Tamurkhan's host. Falk held command of the muster of the
Ironsides at Crow's Levee and was instrumental in holding
the line against the Dolgan cavalry charge during the Chaos
vanguard's attack on the first day of the great battle. Here the
Ironsides steady, disciplined fire raked the marauder
onslaught before they could crash into the line, weakening
them fatally and blunting their heedless charge which
otherwise might have collapsed the Empire flank completely,
Jubal Falk was wounded in the battle by an axe-blow, but
despite his injury continued in command, and is said to have
personally slain a Chaos sorcerer with his Hochland Long
Rifle, blasting the creature's distorted head clean from its
shoulders mid-spell using specialised alchemically-forged
shot taken from the secret vaults of the Imperial Gunnery
School.

 MANDRED SKAVENSLAYER
Count of Middenheim
As the Black Plague swept through the Empire, Count
Mandred of Middenheim did all he could for the
refugees who flocked to his gates. Aided by the priests
of Ulric he kept the city free from infection and built
up the city's supplies. In 1118 the Skaven finally
attacked Middenheim, besieging the city whilst trying
to infiltrate it via the tunnels below. The Count led a
heroic defence, tunnel fighting in the darkness, using
barricades and selective flooding to hold back the
Skaven hordes. It was in one such battle that he lost his
left eye to a Skaven spear thrust. Despite his injury,
months of hunting in the darkness followed. Along
with the Knights of the White Wolf and other stout
warriors he held the city and, eventually, weakened by
famine and pestilence, the Skaven were forced to
retreat. Mandred was hailed as the saviour of the city
and nicknamed Skavenslayer.

Since then Mandred has sought the aid of the other

Elector Counts whilst organising the Empire's armies to
resist the Skaven attacks. He has already won several
battles, and his crusade is growing. Eventually he will
drive the Skaven out of the Empire altogether, and be
crowned Emperor for his heroic efforts. The Skaven
will not forget him and plot his end relentlessly.

 BERTHA BESTRAUFRUNG
High Matriarch of the Sisterhood
Years ago, Bertha sought refuge in the strict discipline
and devotions of the Sisters of Sigmar. Only the
warrior god of the Empire was worthy of her esteem.
Only He was constant and faithful. And had not holy
Sigmar, in truth, chosen her to be one of his
handmaidens?
The pure blood of the Unberogens runs in Bertha’s
veins, as evinced by her long golden plaits and fierce
blue eyes, which can freeze a Goblin at twenty paces
with an icy glare. Even her voice commands authority,
turning strong, hairy-thewed men into trembling
wretches.
The Sisters look up to Bertha as an example of holy
womanhood. She rose rapidly through the ranks of the
Sisterhood, and on her deathbed the revered Matriarch
Cassandra named Bertha her successor, new High
Matriarch, and Abedissa of Sigmar’s Rock. Sometimes,
as Bertha straps on her Gromril armour in the light of
dawn, she reflects on the lost innocence of her youth.
Then, angrily, she tightens the studded leather straps
tightly over her iron-hard limbs and strides outside to
spend hours practicing with her great warhammers,
preparing herself, as a bride of Sigmar should, for the
day of battle.

Witch Hunter
The brotherhood of Witch Hunters aim to
eradicate all evil forms of magic. Its members are
much feared by the Necromancers, Vampires and
worshippers of Chaos that they have sworn to
hunt around the whole world if necessary. They
are very active in the provinces of the Empire,
leaving no respite to the enemies of humanity who
hide in the very heart of the imperial cities. The
Bretonnian Hubert Valentour was the disciple of a
great Witch Hunter, the famous Ildegard
Eichelbaum, whose accomplishments remains the
most important since the creation of the
brotherhood. He wrote anti-magic parchments of
rare power and manufactured several weapons
dedicated to the destruction of the living dead,
including bullets in sanctified silver of which he
gave the manufacturing secret to Valentour the
day he left him. Valentour now works solo and his
results are far from negligible. Among them are
the famous Vampire von Kirtoff whom he went to
flush out to his castle in Sylvania. Such feats of
arms are the origin of his fame, but they are not
the only ones. Indeed, it is not uncommon for
generals to call upon his services if they are
opposed to adversaries versed in daemonic magic.

with the followers of evil he comes closer to losing his
tenuous grip on reality. Nobody could ever accuse
Rutger Wolfrick of being a rational individual. He is
bedecked with amulets and scrolls bearing warding
charms.

 BROTHER VALDEMAR
Warrior Priest
As with many second sons of noble families, Valdemar
was sent to the Church of Sigmar in Altdorf to train as
a priest from an early age. His skill with the
warhammer, as well as the proficiency with which he
mastered the sacred rituals of the temple, was soon
recognized by his superiors. Valdemar's first tenure as
priest, beyond the cloistered walls of the Church of
Sigmar, soon brought him into conflict with a Chaos
Beastman warband that was threatening his parish of
Haldenburg. Valdemar slew the entire warband in a
bloody battle at the very doorstep of his old chapel.
Ever since, Brother Valdemar (now in his fiftieth year)
has been a mainstay of many an Imperial army that has
sought victory over those who would overthrow the
power of the Cult of Sigmar.

TROOP TYPE: Infantry (Special Character, Hero).
EQUIPMENT: Hand weapon, light armour.
SPECIAL RULES: Battle Prayers, Divine Power,
Righteous Fury.
Faith in Sigmar: Valdemar's faith in the God-Emperor
has been unshakeable. Indeed, as he marches into
battle he chants litanies to Sigmar and calls down his
blessings on the brave men of the Empire. The troops
that make up the unit Valdemar is with arc greatly
encouraged by the Warrior Priest's words, as well as
by his example.
Brother Valdemar and any unit he joins may re-roll
failed Break tests.
Courage of the Believer: His faith in Sigmar also
means that Valdemar is not as greatly affected by
psychology as other men are.
Brother Valdemar and any unit he joins gains the
Immunity (Fear) special rule.
MAGIC ITEMS:
Book of Uncommon Prayer (Enchanted Item)
Written by the mad priest Eduard in the Imperial Year
1662, the Book of Uncommon Prayer is a collection of
catechisms and invocations, which some branches of
the Sigmarite cult actually believe to be heretical.
Valdemar, however, does not follow this belief.
Reading verses from the prayer book fills him with the
power of Sigmar.
Once per Magic phase, Brother Valdemar may re-roll
one power dice when he attempts to cast one of his
Battle Prayers.
