The E-pireThc Empirc is thc largcst and most powcrful rcalm in

thc Old World. Its vast cxpansc strctchcs from the

rolling, grccn hills of Brctonnia in thc wcst to thc

swccping stcppcs o[ Kislcv in thc cast. Thc pridcof thc nation is undoubtcdly thc cosmopoliran citicswhcrc thc pinnaclc of human achicvcmcnts can bc found.

Lcgcndary institutions, such as univcrsitics, acadcmics,

thc lmpcrial Collcgc of Engincers and thc Collcgcs of

Magic, attract the brighrcst o{ mankind the world ovcr to

study and lcarn. Convcrscly, thc Empire is also a

brooding land of ignorancc and fcar, a land whcre vast

forestcd tracts are ovcrrun by lawless banditry or worse

Out in this wildcrncss thc widesprcad vilhgcs arc likc

small and isolated islands amidst a vcritablc sea of

dangcrous forcst. Supcrstition in thcsc smallcr hamlcts ls

rifc and who is to say if thc rituals of thc rural

pcasantry don't actually ward off lurking thrcats? For cvcn

in thc Empire, mighticst of mankind's rcalms, thcrc prowlmany grcat and unfathomablc cvils.

Thc land is scldom at pcacc for long. Orcs and Goblins

launch inccssant raids frorn thc mountainous bordcrs,

while thc impcnctrablc forcsts at thc vcry hcart of the

Empirc arc homc to vilc Bcastmcn, who burst from undcr

rhc canopy of darkncss, cagcr lo dcspoil and dcstroy. To

thc cast, in thc ancicnt land of Sylvania, the dcad do not

rcst casy and undcrncath bustling citics throughout thc

rcalm, thc vcrminous Skavcn {cstcr, cvcr plotting ncw,

morc sinistcr assaults. Pcrhaps most dangcrous of all, thc

northcrn tribcs who opcnly worship thc Dark Gods

thrcaten to burst southwards bringing firc and dcath with

unrold fury. So it is that thc Empirc is always at war,

sccuring bordcrs against ancicnt encmics, fcnding off raids,

and clashing egainst all manncr of invadcrs. Thc soldicrs

of thc Empirc stand shouldcr to shouldcr forming a

bulwark of couragc and stccl lo stavc off thc darkness

that bcscts thcm.

And so it has cvcr bccn. For wcll ovcr 2,500 ycarsthc Empirc has cndurcd, surviving invasions, plagucs,and civil wars. Its vcry birth was forgcd in battlc: thc

lcgcndary varrior king Sigmar uniting thc disparatc

barbaric tribcs in ordcr to drivc off an ovcrwhclming

army of invading Orcs. Since thosc fabled timcs, the

nation has grown to thc promincncc with which it

dominatcs thc Old World today.

Many rcfcr to thc Empirc as if it werc a wholly unificd

nation, but morc rcalistically it is a conglomcration of

many individual and cxtrcmcly indcpcndcnt statcs. Thcsc

slatcs wcrc built on thc ancicnt tribal lands of thc pcoplcs

that Sigmar lcd to glory. Aftcr swccping cvil from thc

lands, Si6mar dccrccd the rcalm too large for onc man to

rulc, and so hc dividcd powcr along old boundarics, with

each chicftain answcrablc only to himsclf. Ovcr rhc

ccnturies thc bordcrs havc shiftcd or disappcarcd and somc

states havc riscn or bcen dcstroycd. Vast citics havc grovn

in both import and powcr, so much so that many arc

now sclf-govcrning city-statcs. But thc mcn of thc Empirc

today arc still dcsccndanrs of thosc ancient barbarians and

thc ordcr of rulc is similar, vith cach state rulcd by an

Elector Count, hcrcdirary rulcrs of cach separatc rcgion

who 'clcct' onc of thcir mcmbcrs to scrve as Empcror.

Each Elcctor Count is responsiblc for thc wholc of his

own provincc and answerablc only to the Empcror. This

system, cxistctrt sincc thc days of Sigmar, has prcscrvcd

thc indcpcndencc, idiosyncrasics and uniquc customs lhat

can bc found in thc diffcrent provinccs of thc Empirc. To

this day, cach of thc surviving statcs is ficrccly proud of

its hcritagc and rightfully wary (or outright disdainful) of

its ncighbour's tradirions.

Thc armies of thc Empirc arc rightfully famous. Thcy

havc stood rcsolutc on countlcss batlcficlds, winning thc

day through might of arms. Thc bulk of thc Empirc's

forccs arc formcd of profcssional statc troops, soldicrs

raiscd, traincd, and girdcd for war by officcrs appointcd

by thc Elcctor Counts, as decrecd by thc Emperor

himsclf. At nccd, thc statc troops arc joincd by militia,

lcss drillcd pcrhaps, but morc than rcady to fight for

thcir homeland. Additionally, many commanders can call

upon elitc military brothcrhoods to aid rhcm in battlc.

Young aspiring noblcs form units of Pisrolicrs, vhilc thc

most daring of infantrymcn arc promotcd to thc

formidablc Crcatswords rcgimcnts. Thc Knightly Ordcrs

of thc Empirc arc powcrful forccs that stand rcady to

fight ar thc command of thcir Grand Mastcr. Battlc

Wizards, Warrior Pricsts, Enginccrs, mighty artillcry picccs

and fabulous war machincs autmcnt thc armics fortunatc

cnough to havc thcm.

Thcsc soldicrs of thc Empirc march to war undcr many

diffcrcnt banncrs and wcaring diffcrcnt uniforms. Thcir

panoply of wrr is varicd in colour and dccoratcd with

many imagcs, all of which say somcthing about a soldicr's

bclicfs, his localc, or his rcgimcnt's history. But whcn

thcy form in placc into a battlclinc, it is for onc purposc

- to bring victory and glory to thc Empirc.

Soldiers of the E^PireThe Empirc is a divcrsc narion and this is rcflcctcd in thc uniforms of its soldicry. From profcssional and highly

polishcd regimcnts, to hastily raiscd militia marching undcr a common banncr, an Empire army can bc a homogcnous

unifi.d forc-., or a widcly dirp.r.t. group. Each proviocc or city-statc has its own distinct colours' iconography, and

hisrory, whilc rcgimcnts i.". ih.i, own iraditions, somc of vhich datc back to thc founding of thc Empirc itsclf. This

,.rolr, io . wid.'r.ng. of diffcrcnt uniforms, cvcn for rcgimcnts raiscd from thc samc town' and possibly within rhc

vcry samc unit. Whii. in no way complctc, givcn thc Empirc's sizc and lengthy .history,

rhis guide will illustrate thc

panoply of uniforms and how thcy might bc worn throughout thc provinccs and city-statcs.

STATE TROOPSRcgiments of statc trooPs

typically wcar thc colour or colours

associatcd with thcir provincc or

city-statc, although thcrc arc notablc

exccptions. Thcrc arc no ovcrriding

rules govcrning how, whcrc' or in

what proportions thcsc colours arc

uscd. Instead colours differ bascd

on individual unit traditions' thc

whim of commandcrs or nobility

(such as dukcs, barons or counts)'

or possibly iust rhc availability of

matcrials and dycs. Onc rcgimcnt

mighr bc outfittcd entirely in its

provincial colours, whilc anothcr

could only bcar slccvcs or lcggings

of their associatcd huc. ManY

rcgimcnts distinguish thcmsclvcs by

usc of a minor dctail such as a

slccvc, cuff, plumc, hat, or collar in

a cornmon colour. Unlcss notcd' thc

uniforms shown throughout this

book dcpict cxamplcs of PoPularpattcrns - it would bc casY to find

statc regimcnts which mix thc

stvlcs shown with anv of thc

possiblc colour combinations.

Somc rcgimcnts follow a strict

uniform, but many units lcavc cach

soldier to sourcc his own garb,

rcsulting in a varicty of gcar, oftcn

in differing statcs of wcar. As cach

province cquips its soldicrs from its

own armourics, somc arc bcttcr ablc

to afford fincrics. Rcgardlcss' troops

wilderncss, or out camPaiSning arc

morc ra8ta8 in appcarancc as

cquipmcnt wcars oul and

rcolaccments must be found.
