The Cult of Ulric Army List

January 2004·pp. 26–29

THE SHORT VERSION

The complete list combines religious and knightly leaders with independent warriors, White Wolves and the Teutogen Guard. Hounds and hunters provide mobility and scouting, while conventional infantry occupies a different place from its role in a normal Empire army. Wolf-kin supply a stubborn, irregular element. Selection limits, equipment and background for the units make the list usable as a distinct force gathered around Ulric’s cause.

The Loss of the Solland Runefang

Graham McNeill follows the Runefangs from the alliance between Sigmar and the Dwarfs to Gorbad Ironclaw’s invasion of the Empire. The fall of Solland costs its count his life and sends his sword into enemy hands, while Altdorf survives a siege that nearly ends the nation. Centuries later an adventuring band recovers the weapon from a monstrous treasure hoard. Its return cannot restore the lost province, but makes the blade available again as a symbol and weapon of Imperial authority.

The Cult of Ulric

Ian Hawkes introduces Ulric as a god of battle, winter and direct personal strength. The cult’s relationship with Sigmar is shaped by history and political rivalry as much as theology, while Middenland’s harsh landscape gives its worship a practical foundation. Middenheim’s position on the Ulricsberg, religious importance and knightly orders explain its power. Tales of the sealed Undercity hint at threats beneath a city celebrated for its formidable defences.
