Ice Mages

Ice Magic is a native form of magic practised in the northern regions of Kislev by the shamans of the Gospodar nomads. In ancient times the leaders of these warlike tribes were potent sorcerers, and none were more poweful than the Khan Queens of the Gospodar. In time the nomads carved out a small empire for themselves and settled down to form the nation of Kislev ruled by mighty Tsars. The current ruler is Tzarina Katarin, the Ice Queen of Kislev, a fearsome sorceress and mistress of Ice Magic.

Beastmasters

These are woodsmen and foresters who have gained a special affinity for the great wild cats and bears of the north. They live apart from the rest of their kind, hunting and training their great beasts. There are two main types of beast that they train, the great Snow Tigers and the ferocious Northern White Bears. These they train to attack their enemies and to work as hunting beasts.

Weapons/Armour: Hand weapon, bow, shield, and light armour. Additional equipment may be bought from the Equipment List at the points cost indicated. Beastmasters may not have heavy armour.

Save: 5+

May Ride: Beastmasters may ride Snow Tigers, or Monsters from the Monsters list at the cost indicated.

Special: Beastmasters' beasts must remain within 12" of the Beastmaster. If they become separated by more than 12", they will move in a random direction until such time as they are back within the Beastmaster's zone of control.

The beasts test against the Beastmaster's Leadership as long as they are within 12" of him. If they are outside this area, they must test against their own. The Beastmaster and his pack are immune to Panic, and all other psychology as long as they remain within 12" of each other, but they can be broken in hand-to-hand combat. A Beastmaster and his beasts are considered a unit, but the minimum of 5 figures does not apply.

If all of a Beastmaster's pack is slain, the Beastmaster will become subject to hatred of the enemy. If the Beastmaster is slain, the pack will also become subject to hatred and will immediately charge the nearest enemy. If they are not within charge range, they will move toward the nearest enemy at their full Movement rate.

When enemy shoots at the Beastmaster and his pack, any hits will be randomizer between them. The Beastmaster or the pack may not be targeted individually as long as they are together.

Beastmasters may be accompanied by 2 through 4 Beasts.
