For the Empire is not one harmonious nation, but a collective of fiercely independant provinces and city-states each led by an Elector Count - a powerful noble whose interests do not always align with the greater good for the nation. It is the variety and synergy between these disparate troops that is the chief strength of any Empire army.īut perhaps the Empire's greatest foe has always been itself. Ranks upon ranks of disciplined State Troops, brave men more than prepared to lay down their lives to protect the lands and people they hold dear, march alongside the proud noble-born warriors of the Knightly Orders, the ingenious war-machines of the Imperial Gunnery School of Nuln, and the enigmatic Battle Wizards of the Eight Colleges of Magic at Altdorf. The Empire's mighty armies stand ready to protect mankind's greatest nation against its many foes.
