Warmaster Fantasy - Kislev Counter Set

The land of Kislev lies in the north-eastern portion of the Old World between towering mountains to the east, the barren wastes of the Troll Country to the west and the borders of the Empire to the south. Dense pine forests give way to scattered birch forests and desolate tundra to the north. It is an old saying that in Kislev the winters are long, the snow lies deep, and enemies are never far away. --Warmaster

Kislev was one of the last armies that Games Workshop made in 10mm for Warmaster. These figures were sold only in blister packs, never in army starter boxes like GW made for the core armies. All I remember is that they were hard to find.

Print What You Play
This is my first hybrid set for Warmaster Fantasy and Warmaster Revolution because each ruleset has a slightly different take on the army. The counters on Page 1 work for both rulesets. The counters on Page 2 are for Warmaster Fantasy, whereas the counters on Page 3 are for Warmaster Revolution. (WMR has a special mount called a Yozhin, but I have no idea what miniatures in any scale represent that creature, so you'll have to pencil in that one yourself.) I've done the best I can given the limited well-lit miniature images I could find.

Printing the Counters
I hope you find these paper army sets useful. You can print them at places like Staples or Kinkos, using 110lb card stock paper printed at actual size. You can also print on regular paper and then glue the counters to wooden bases. (Check the older posts on how I did this with my Empire army.) Do not print the pdf to "fit margins." Always print at 100%.  I like printing the counter sets on good copy paper, spray gluing the dull side of a 'Silver Age' comic backing board with Super77, attaching a sheet to the board, and then cutting out the counters using a sharp Xacto knife with a steel ruler. Using the backing boards makes for cheap, sturdy counters. I like keeping the shiny side down to make moving them easier on a table. Note: This version is designed to fit Silver Age and larger comic backing boards.

Building a 2,000 Point Kislev Army
If you are interested in playing a Kislev army, I highly recommend downloading the "My Take on Kislev" article by John Bennison. Originally, it was published in Fanatic Magazine (if I remember correctly) and then reprinted on the defunct Specialist Games website. In the article, John explains his philosophy for building and then playing a 2,000 point Kislev army.
