Thank you for watching! This was a very fun episode to make. Learning about Kislev and it's particularities was great and the lore these guys have is very extense and interesting. This is a basic lore overview that goes over some of the main characters and events surrounding Kislev. Special thanks to Skrubasauras for his amazing voice acting and to The Sietch for helping sponsoring this particular video! Many thanks to our awesome channel Patrons too for they make these videos possible. Please let me know what you thought of this episode and any constructive feedback you may have is always more than welcome! Enjoy your weekend my friends!🙌

[@thesietch2933]

Thank you for accepting the opportunity so many months ago! I've been a fan of your channel, like I said, since the Battle of Hal Fenn (at least :P ) and it was great to actually work with you and create something as awesome as this. Kislev is such a cool fantasy nation with its amazingly mixed blend of Slavic, Central Asian and Eastern European cultures and more and the rich history it had developed both in the canon lore and in the head canon of fans being a bulwark against Chaos... and Bear Cavalry memes. "Kislev."

[@thesietch2933]

[@ironfelixfromkuban2580]

"Scythia" - name of country of Scythians. These were nomads in the territory of modern Russia and Ukraine. Sometimes it was believed that the Scythians were the ancestors of the Slavs, but now this theory is considered erroneous. Also, "Scyth" - name of legendary ancient knyaz' (Rus. князь, based on "konoz", chief on kon', Rus. конь = horse; analogs of "knyaz'" - Polish knez, German kenig, Shwedish konung, etc.). Descendants of Skith - Sloven and Rus - founded Slovensk (modern Novgorod Velikiy or Great Novgorod) and Rusa (modern Staraya Russa) in 2409 BC. It's only old legends, but, Russians found in Novgorod ancient camp, ~2500 BC.

Human nations appear to have drawn the short straw when it comes to names in Warhammer. Even the Empire is a direct reference to the Holy Roman Empire, which wasn't really Roman at all but the region we today know as Germany, seen clearly in the 16th century German aesthetic and how every Empire character has German names.

Fun Fact: Kislev is likely based off the old Eastern Slavic Kingdoms who fought the Mogul Hoards. This is further backed up as one of those nations was called Kiev.

@@Insider546 i think that was the name used for the inhabitants of kiev, i might be wrong tho

[@jackiesantos2121]

He honestly Warhammer real world cultures from our history

[@scotchitona5047]

Kislev is based off of the Slavic Confederation known as the "Kievan Rus". The Kievan Rus were united under a man known as Rurik. Though after a hundred years, the Kievan Rus became tributaries to the Golden Horde (break-away khanate of the Mongol Empire). The Principalities of the Rus paid in gold, or in slaves. It was until the Grand Principality known as Muscovy broke away after refusing to pay tribute. This led to a bloody war between the Muscovites and the Steppe Hordes. The nation in question "Kiev" was a Principality like Muscovy, and led dominion over the Kievan Rus. The idea of a united "Rus" started with Rurik, and the Kievan Rus was the prototype Russia. Yet it was loosely held together. Rivaling other principalities and religious disunity at the beginning of its existence.

[@steelbear2063]

As a Russian I can tell you that Kislev is extremely loosely based on Eastern Europe (mainly, but not only, Slavic countries) and everything further east of that. They just threw everything in the pot. Not surprising. The further east you look in Warhammer World, the less effort and creativity you find

Total war warhammer 3! Kislev!

[@michaelhowell2326]

I really dig these videos. It makes me forget that AoS exist and takes me back to the good ol' days of Fantasy. The way he says "Cavalry" kills me though.

I love the how their love for their land while it is literally the worst land in all of Warhammer

[@neroclaudius7284]

Oooh i got goosebumps lovely work as always!!

[@aasmundhald7638]

TONIGHT WE FIGHT! AND WHEN THE SUN RISES, I PROMISE YOU, KISLEV WILL STAND!

[@deno202]

I love how Kislev represent Russia and her Queen Katherine the Great and Empress Anna who order construction of Ice palace :D

[@blackadder564]

Kislev is a mesh of Russia, Polan-Lithuania, and Hungary.

[@levvy3006]

It's entire government and naming convention is Russian Imperialist. Only a few units are Polish, Ukrainian, and Mongol inspired.

[@Ryder2010G6]

@@levvy3006 Ungols are the Tatars, Kossars are Cossacks, Winged Lancers are Polish Winged Hussars, Kislev-Kiev (specifically Kievan Rus) Praag-Prague, Gospodar means Lord in most Slavic languages (not necessarilly Russian) and in Romanian, Druzhina are Kievan Rus and so on. Kislev isn t Russian, it is mostly based on early medieval Eastern And Central Europe. Regardless of its inspiration, it s an awesome faction and I can t wait to play it. I m prepping myself with insane ammounts of lore to be able to play Kislev Kislev.

Actually, it's a huge mix of all territories from eastern europe to northern-eastern Asia. Mongols, Cossacks, Russians, Polish, Lithuanian and even some European non-slavic countries.

[@caxopog]

@@Ryder2010G6 Yea, i even see more Polish/Ukranian influence in units - they all looks mostly like polish army and cossacks but naming (Tsar, Oblast, Druzhina e.t.c) are mostly Rus/Russian. Definitely mix of all slavs and some central-asia nations.

AND THE WINGED KISLEVITES ARRIVED!

[@ironox8480]

Love Kislev, it's my favorite fantasy faction and it does not get enough love. Empire, Dwarves, lizardmen, Skaven all get so much love and Kislev seems to gain way to little love. Thank you for shining some light on my favorite faction.

[@steffanyschwartz7801]

I don’t remember what Kislev did in end times but they probably had a good one if they weren’t mentioned. Kislev and southern kingdoms are underrated
