There lived a certain man in Kislev long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow The demons looked at him with terror and with fear But to Erengrad girls he was such a lovely dear He could preach Ursun's word like a preacher Full of ecstasy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher Women would desire Ko-Ko-Kostaltin Lover of the Icy Queen There was a bear that really was gone Ko-Ko-Kostaltin Kislev's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on
Take all the slavic nations, Tatars, Khazars and throw them into a pot. Add in Ice Magic, bears and vodka. Voila, you get Kislev. The hardest non-Chaos human nation in the setting.
@@MouldMadeMind But not as hard as your average Kislevite. While they have simple Marauder or Druchii (and the occasional Greenies, Undead and uppity Asrai who occasionally attack for no reason), Kislev has to deal with the big guns of the Chaos Legions, Dawi-Zharr, Hungry Ogres and some more. THE ICE OF KISLEV IS HARD TO CRACK.

Finally, after years of german and french speakers having to cringe every time they hear the pronunciation of names in the Empire and Bretonia, it's the turn of russians, ukrainians and poles to suffer :D.
The Emperor of Man rules with Faith, Steel, and Gunpowder. The Ice Queen rules with Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality (this is or was an actual Russian motto).
It's not Nationality, it's "Народность". Russia was never big on nationalism, but it always had focused on "Народность". It's very hard to explain and even translate. I don't believe English can express the idea/thought behind it, but you can try to think about it as "peopleness". Basically, the idea is that the People are both the source of state's power and its soul.
@@ImperativeGames You are on the right track. The Russian Federation is made up of ~200 ethnic groups, all with their own cultural customs and sometimes language with ethnic Russians(Slavs) being the dominant one, but what unites them all is their love for Mother Russia(The Land itself) and that Russian culture incorporates all their local customs as part of the greater whole, hence why the Russian language have separete words for Russians[the Slavic ethnicity] and Russians[Citizens of RF] which is something that's never explained/used in translations.
@@ImperativeGames yeah, English has a word for it. It’s called ethnicity. Maybe even tribalism. It is a form of nationalism based not around the idea of a country but the ideas that tie a people group together. A common tongue, faith, and race.
As Drawfs or Empire , even high elves , i always tryed to defend Kislev so hardly in Tw warhammer 2 against rats , orcs and chaos. But the ai is just so lost on legendary since start ... Pretty nice to see they made it to a full scale faction with fitting units in the next part .
As Empire it's kind of annoying because Volkmar's quests force you to attack them unless some other faction takes out the region you need to pillage. With the Dorfs I pretty much always ally with them though, and they're great as backup when chaos starts spawning.
@@ryanmarshall1883 If you start with Grombrindal (and why wouldn't you, he's awesome), two of your quests take you up there so you're encouraged to expand north ASAP. Which means by the time Chaos rolls in you'll have armies in the area anyway so you might as well grind some exp on whatever is trying to eat Kislev at any given moment.
Same here idk it just my brain told me to "go help your fellow allies in the north" kinda thing, but in my playthrough after i helping them fend off chaos invasion and gift some money to them, my kislev actually conquered 80% norsca settlements
Tsardom, Druzhina, Boyars, Strelci, the architecture., vast frozen land, spring mud (Rasputitsa)...the inspiration with Russia is very strong. But there seems to be also some inspiration with Poland like e.g. the Winged Lancers aka Winged Hussars.
The old version of Kislev was essentially the early Muscovite Tsardom but with the army being inspired by Poland-Lithuania with Winged Lancers and Horse Archers based on Lithuanian Tartars. Infantry came in the shape of Kossars who were inspired by Zaporozhian Cossacks. But Games Workshop added plenty of fantasy details and also did some visual changes. For example Wings Lancer tabletop models only kept the wong and lance of the Polish-Lithuanian Hussars, the armour was mainly based on Russian styles.
Kislev is a mix of different periods and cultures of all eastern europe and north-western asia. It's russians, poles, ukranians, lithianians, but also finns, kazakhs, tatars, mongols. And this time they don't fight each other...
i love how kislev was well adapted in total war warhammer 3 and how ursen plays a central role in the campaign for the factions. FOR URSEN. FOR KISLEV. FOR URSEN. FOR KISLEV. FOR URSEN. FOR KISLEV.
Tsarina Katharina in lore - one of the most powerful casters in the world. Tsarina Katharina in game - can’t even kill a entity in the unit with ice magic.
She does absolutely devastating unit heath damage though. With the only faction capable of healing is nurgle, she basically anti everything except Tzeench and Nurgle, that's 2 out of 3 chaos gods.
Gotta remember that in lore, gelt can wave his hands and turn the bones of thousands of enemy combatants at once into quicksilver and because of the staff of Volans (which magnifies his already massive magical potency) he's stated to be so powerfull that any other human mage in the empire wouldn't even stand a chance against him (it's mostly the staff, but even without it he's probably the strongest mage in the empire after Elsbeth von Draken)
Well, lets face it, the people behind Warhammer are not extremely creative all the time. Not faulting all their stuff, but sometimes they draw a little close to home and it can be a tiny bit comical.
@@robertgronewold3326 They actually are quite creative, you're simply looking at it wrong. It was always meant to be Historical Fantasy. And if you cross-reference events, it makes perfect sense. It's more than the sum of its parts, but one of the bigger parts is the real world inspiration. And it should bloody well be comical, dry /wrist killed it(amongst other things), remember!
@@goransekulic3671 Yes, but naming your Asian inspired characters after car brands isn't exactly original. There are good real-world references, and pure cringe ones. They've come a long way since it was clearly a bunch of slightly closed-minded British guys making up questionable lore in a dank office. Also, it's pretty glaring that they didn't make any faction that takes inspirations from either Native American or black African cultures, even if they are for creatures like the Mesoamerican Lizardmen or Mongolian Orce Kingdoms.
I'm more excited for the ogre kingdoms but I will definitely be playing kislev as well because their culture seems to be among the most interesting human civilizations in warhammer.

@@goransekulic3671 Ehm dude.... Warhammer second Ed (which realm of the ice queen the main source of this is in) is a seventh edition Warhammer roleplay
"Welcome to Erengrad. You're about to begin the greatest moment of your life. The enemy has lost hundreds of monsters and daemons. The Dark Gods' brutalized hordes are now advancing toward Erengrad over mountains of their own dead bodies. Our god Urson, our Tzarina Katarina, our great nation, have given us the task not to let the enemy reach Praag and to defend the city of Erengrad. Forward against the enemy! Up into unremitting battle, comrades, for Erengrad, for our great country! Not one step back! Cowards and traitors will be shot! Do not count days, do not count miles, count only the number of heretics you have killed! Kill the heretic - this is your motherland's prayer. Kill the daemon - this is the cry of Ursun's will! Do not waver! Do not let up! Kill! Death to the northern invaders!" - Unamed Kossar at the Siege of Erengrad.
The prolouge campaign shows that Ungols can have higher stations. You play as Yuri who is an ungol prince/boyar and given an impotent mission by the tzarina.
To me it sounds like the Tsars and Tsarinas still have a debt to pay.... or a trap to spring. The spirit that called their ancestor from the steppes was mentioned as being freed, Whether this is good or bad, I don't know.
There are several caves throughout the world that show what appears to be predator worship by way of primitive shrines decorated with Skulls in place of honor; lions and bears being the two that come to mind. And bear worship was directly observed in throughout European and Asian tribal cultures, with the Ainu in Hokkaido continuing long enough to actually be photographed. At a guess, they started worshiping like may stone-age cultures with large Ursine populations in their regions and just never stopped.
What can be DLC for Kislev ? Maybe it can be astartes analog from slavic myth (Svyatogor or bogatyr squad),maybe some myth aninal Gorynych or Liho- thing that break any situation or process or unique sorcerer Koshey aka dart sidius with life drain or power of nature : Widow , Grandfather frost ,or Wind embodyement ( long beard old man) Maybe mix of animalborn like warriors ,or rare thing flying whale fish ))
12:24 Winged Lancers - based from Poland's Winged Hussars 13:13 Mounted Archers - based from Mongolia's Cavalry Archers 13:35 Kossars - probably based from Viking warriors 14:14 Streltsi - probably based from Ottoman Empire's Janissary
The streltsi did actually exist in medieval Russia. The word means "shooter" be it with a box or gun. So they are not at all based on the ottoman yeniçeri. No idea from where you got that.
Kislev is to me the most superior Human nation in the Warhammer fantasy universe in my opinion. I think it puts Britonnia and the Empire of Sigmar to shame. It's only rival in my opinion is Grand Cathay.
Nope, closest connection they have is within the same multiverse. Warhammer 40k takes place 40,000 years into our own future whilst Warhammer Fantasy's world is it's own planet. There used to be a theory that Fantasy took place on a lost colony world on the 40k universe but now it's no longer the case. Now they're only connected by the Warp.
They used to. Orks, the Old Ones, and the Chaos Gods work more or less the same way in both universes, and at one point, Chaos armies had the option to include a summoned Chaos Space Marine as a specialist. Older 40K space maps had the Warhammer Fantasy planet classified as a Feral World deep within the Eye of Terror, and certain tales among Chaotic forces spoke of a powerful red-skinned sorcerer with one eye, which has a lot of parallels to Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons Legion of Space Marines. That said, Games Workshop has officially said the two are separate continuities.
@@tba113 I was always partial to the old fan myth that the entirety of 40k’s universe existed within a crystal ball in some wizard’s tower in Altdorf. Kind of explains why the Chaos gods have a much easier time taking over entire systems in 40k, whereas in fantasy they can’t even take this one world (and no, End Times doesn’t count). Them being separate is probably the best move, though.

I'm disturbed by the sheer lack of Chaos Undivided content on this channel....don't worry....you will heed the words of the four soon enough.
A video about Archaon is definitly coming in the next months
Kieslev. The Cadia of Warhammer fantasy
this is the cadia of warhammer fantasy but colder and Russian
I love warhammer fantasy
So, kislev is muscovy + poland-lithuania + the cossacks.
The accent at the end was pretty good though. Thanks Templin
the accent in the outro was great.
12:24 Winged Lancers - based from Poland's Winged Hussars
13:13 Mounted Archers - based from Mongolia's Cavalry Archers
13:35 Kossars - probably based from Viking warriors
14:14 Streltsi - probably based from Ottoman Empire's Janissary
Kossars are lifted off Cossacks and Streltsi were a historical military unit based in Muscovy.
The streltsi did actually exist in medieval Russia. The word means "shooter" be it with a box or gun. So they are not at all based on the ottoman yeniçeri. No idea from where you got that.
KISLEV.
For Kislev! for ursun!
some S tier writing.
Into the Motherland the Demon Army marches.
In Soviet Kislev, vodka finds you!
Some of this is so incredibly original, and then there's just copy-paste Muscovy lore right after it
Wait... Ice Witch Leader. Close to the Troll Lands. Cold, In the North. Is Kislev the Kingdom in Frozen??
"Well, yes... but actually no."
In Soviet Russia, Bear rides YOU
Praise be to the Ice Queen!
Kislev Stands Ready!
So a mixture of Viking, slavic and Mongolian cultures? Nice😎
Kislev
Can I get a "the North remembers"?
THE NORTH REMEMBERS!!! As does Pepperidge Farm
Kislev is to me the most superior Human nation in the Warhammer fantasy universe in my opinion. I think it puts Britonnia and the Empire of Sigmar to shame. It's only rival in my opinion is Grand Cathay.
Isn't that the motto of the Greater Terran Union?
“What if we made Russia, but you know, like, cooler”
"VAT SEEK MAN SENDS CHAOS TO FIGHT ME?!"
Kislev and the Tzarina.
Kislev.

Hard Bass overcomes all
Russian version of Frozen is weird...
KISLEV!
Beginner question: Do Warhammer Fantasy & 40K take place in the same “universe”? Like just at different points of time in history?
Nope, closest connection they have is within the same multiverse. Warhammer 40k takes place 40,000 years into our own future whilst Warhammer Fantasy's world is it's own planet. There used to be a theory that Fantasy took place on a lost colony world on the 40k universe but now it's no longer the case. Now they're only connected by the Warp.
They used to.
Orks, the Old Ones, and the Chaos Gods work more or less the same way in both universes, and at one point, Chaos armies had the option to include a summoned Chaos Space Marine as a specialist. Older 40K space maps had the Warhammer Fantasy planet classified as a Feral World deep within the Eye of Terror, and certain tales among Chaotic forces spoke of a powerful red-skinned sorcerer with one eye, which has a lot of parallels to Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons Legion of Space Marines.
That said, Games Workshop has officially said the two are separate continuities.
@@the_corvid97 Interesting! Thank you. Just getting in Warhammer and there’s a lot to take in haha
@@tba113 I was always partial to the old fan myth that the entirety of 40k’s universe existed within a crystal ball in some wizard’s tower in Altdorf. Kind of explains why the Chaos gods have a much easier time taking over entire systems in 40k, whereas in fantasy they can’t even take this one world (and no, End Times doesn’t count). Them being separate is probably the best move, though.
@@TheArch1v1st That's one I have not heard before but I kind of dig it.
