KISLEV WARHAMMER TOTAL WAR PATCH

Absent Artillery: Though you do have the Little Grom, which is more than some factions have, you have no other dedicated artillery units.

KISLEV WARHAMMER TOTAL WAR PATCH

Unfortunately, unless added in at a later patch or popular demand, even Katarin is restricted to either a horse or a bear to ride into battle rather than a war sled (aside her ice-gliding technique). Minimal Mounts: You'd better like horses or bears, because that's all anyone gets to saddle up on.But you're rather light on the larger bruisers that are rather abundant in other armies. Minimal Monstrous Units: Yes, your lords and some of your cavalry ride bears, and you can summon one very large elemental one.Your ranged and cavalry will have to do most of the work in the battle. Tsar Guard seem to be on the level of Norscan Champions and Tomb Guard.

Lack of Heavy Infantry: You will likely be lighter in the infantry department, as is generally the trend with human factions.As such they have potential to be more balanced then the other factions with no glaring unit type holes. See Bretonnia's limited unit roster for example. Built for Total War: While they have more of a pedigree then Cathy does as far as canon goes, they have mostly been ignored in the table top game, which means CA has broad latitude in making units for there army in a way other factions didn't not.Virtually all of your infantry can shoot and you have a lot of mobile ranged options on top of that. Range: You have plenty of skirmish units that also function decently well in melee.With high natural leadership and a passive that gives you more when you're at half health it'll take a lot to get you to run. High Leadership: I guess when Chaos is squatting on your front door nothing really scares you anymore.

This means them getting stuck in melee won't be too much of an issue as they can actually defend themselves.

Flexible Infantry: Many of your ranged units, such as the Ice Guard, will have weapons that will allow them to fight in melee, similar to Shades and Lothern Sea Guard.

With Winged Hussars, Bear Riders and presumably good skirmisher cav you should have a very wide selection of horsemen to choose from, without the same crippling infantry Bretonnia has

Cavalry: Kislev has always leaned more towards the cavalry side, so expect that to be the case in the game.

FUCKING BEARS!!!!! *BLAM* In the name of Tzarina Katarin Bokha, this man has been been sentenced to death for degeneracy, move along citizen.

You want an excuse to blast Sabaton while playing in fantasy.

You will likely be playing a more generalist playstyle that leans more into mobile skirmishing and Cavalry.

You think that premodern Eastern Europe is underused as an inspiration for fantasy stuff.

Because you like Humans, but don't want to debase yourself by playing as one of the feeble westerners (or southerners in this case).

Most Kislev units have the By Our Blood ability, giving them extra leadership when their health is low.

Uniquely, a large amount of Kislev units are hybrid units, proficient both at range and in melee.They are the second race to lack fliers, after Skaven. Kislev has no flying units at all (not even mounts or summons).Like other human and elven races, Kislev has a core of infantry, backed up by a variety of powerful cavalry, with some artillery and monsters.
