[hider=A Rain of Blood, A Storm of Blades, A Hail of Bullets][center][h2]The Khergit Horde[/h2] [i]"But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." (Luke 12:5)[/i] [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/iwq97s.png[/IMG][/center] [h2]Introduction[/h2] [hr] Nobody knows where they came from, some say they come from the south while others claim their origins north ward bound, some say they migrated from a land far in the east and crossed when the Bering Strait dried up, there are even claims of them being demons who rose from the ground to punish the unworthy in a new trial of the end times. What ever the case, the Khergits are no mere psychopathic Ravers, they combine resourceful and devious engineering with the speed of unholy winds, tended by the savagery of beasts. Whether by foot, horse or tread, they carve their name in blood with blades and bullets. Tales of their inhumanness, once thought to be fake stories to scare travelers, are becoming more nightmarishly real each passing dawn as more and more villages and towns disappear in their wake. Hailed by smoke and by fire, the Horde is coming; brace yourself as the scourge of God awakens once more. [h2]Military Units of the Khergit Horde[/h2] [hr] [h3]Footmen[/h3] [i]The pounding of a thousand feet booms louder than any cannon[/i] [hr] [hider=Warbands] - [b]Ular Warrior[/b] - [i]The harsh trails of the Khergit turn men into hardened warriors with a taste for raiding[/i] [indent][indent]The most numerous foot soldier in the horde, they wield fast-firing firearms, explosives launchers and fire bombs in battle, protected by armored vests. Trained in harsh terrain, they run faster and longer than any normal man ever could, fighting with zeal and ruthlessness matched only by the most crazed Raver. Those who distinguish themselves are selected to become "Chosen Ular Warriors", champions who are even more brutal than the standard Ular Raider.[/indent][/indent] - [b]Sacrilli Warriors[/b] - [i]Tradition should not be mistaken for weakness[/i] [indent][indent]Armed with large shields made of cut up oil barrels and heavier armor, the Sacrilli Warriors are armed with what some may call "out-dated weapons". But, once they get in close with their swords and spears or pepper you with a rain of arrows from seemingly no where, you see why these are often the prized troops of the Khergit. Their bravery and courage is unparalleled as it takes a considerable amount of nerve to charge head long into gunfire! The most elite Sacrilli Warriors are considered to be guarded by the War Saints and are thus named "Blessed Sacrilli Warriors"[/indent][/indent] - [b]Inkmarked Fanatics[/b] - [i]Chaos is simply weaponized insanity and savagery[/i] [indent][indent]While its unquestionable that all Khergits are crazy to an extended, clearly some are born crazier than others. Inkmarked Fanatics are men and women whose bodies only bare tribal-like tatoos, thought to be a conduit for the War-Saints to protect them, showing devotion to this idea by not wearing any armor or clothes for that matter. They carry devastatingly deadly weapons like Falxs and bladed gauntlets, assisted by packs of war hounds and wolves. There's good reason why even some of the Khergits fear these Fanatics[/indent][/indent] [/hider] [h3]Horsemen[/h3] [i]And all the Khan's horses and all the Khan's men will cut you to pieces.[/i] [hr] [hider=Cavalry] - [b]Norik Demon Cavalry[/b] - [i]Fear cuts deeper than any flesh wound[/i] [indent][indent]Swift, silent and deadly, the Norik are the most infamous of horsemen, their black armor based on pre-End SWAT armor and riot shields make them the most feared mounted raiders, only bested by vehicles. Protected by their circular riot shields, they use spears and swords but are also accustom to Khergit firebombs and grenade launchers. Some say tell of Norik appear from shadows at a second's notice, the Khergit fully support this theory.[/indent][/indent] - [b]Nomadic Marauders[/b] - [i]Raiding is no skill, it is an art of blood and fire[/i] [indent][indent]Mounted warbands armed with small arms and shotguns, the Marauders are quick, deadly mounted gunmen with great accuracy. They can quickly surround and overwhelm enemies and reduce them to blood and limbs. Famous for using saddles which have motorcycle handlebars.[/indent][/indent] - [b]Mounted Outrider[/b] - [i]You only need one man to return to tell the tale[/i] [indent][indent]Experts at causing all sort of pain and grief, the Outriders specialize in hindering movement. Their primary weapons are large caliber revolving hand cannons able to kill horses and break tank treads with ease. They also often use caltrops, land mines and burning oil in thier dastardly battles. Their most famous weapon is a net of barbed razor wire, dragged through groups of infantry for painful, painful kills.[/indent][/indent] - [b]Prophets[/b] - [i]The world will be cleansed in a holy fire to burn away the unworthy[/i] [indent][indent]Prophets are the the priests of the Khergit religion. However, they don't spread peace and joy as much as they spread fire and napalm. Basically horse mounted flame throwers, they burn the absolute shit out of anything to ash, and then burn those ashes for good measure. Very threatening indeed, their weakness is the same of any flamer thrower that a well placed bullet can turn them into Martyrs[/indent][/indent] [/hider] [h3]Armor[/h3] [i]The treads of steels rumble like a storm on the horizon.[/i] [hr] [hider=Iron Mounts] - [b]KnZ-8 Vagier[/b] - [i]Swarm, surround, and slay.[/i] [indent][indent]Based on the WW2-era BT-7, the KnZ is by far the most populous tank of the Horde, swift and easy to build and maintain. It has a very flexible platform, allowing for the use of multiple different kinds of guns. However, it sacrifices armor for speed and numbers, swarming enemies enmasse instead of fighting them one-on-one.[/indent][/indent] - [b]GR-23 Lagarious[/b] - [i]Can't get a ship to work on land? Put treads on it, Khergit engineering says it should work[/i] [indent][indent]A multi-turreted landship, a beastly construct more intimidating than the T-35 which its based on. Long and large, its carries 8 turrets of mortars, guns and machine guns. Some versions even have rockets or AA-guns. They are often called "land battleships", even groups of them are called "fleets".[/indent][/indent] -[b]Nomadic Hosts[/b] - [i]Its not over compensation, more like representation[/i] [indent][indent]Built from massive dump trucks and earth movers, Nomadic hosts are the "castles" of Khans of tribes. They are armed and armored to the teeth with machine guns and howizters and the like. Some of them also double as huge workshops and foundries of the horde.[/indent][/indent] -[b]Tengri Court[/b] - [i]Ever see a fortress move?[/i] [indent][indent]Less vehicle, more moving city, the Tengri Court is the "capitol" of the horde. Built upon a space ship mover, this damn thing has more dakka than what should be morally allowed and enough to make Greenskins feel jealous. It houses the Great Khan and much of the industrial capacity of the horde.[/indent][/indent] [/hider][/hider]
