It's not Nationality, it's "Народность". Russia was never big on nationalism, but it always had focused on "Народность". It's very hard to explain and even translate. I don't believe English can express the idea/thought behind it, but you can try to think about it as "peopleness". Basically, the idea is that the People are both the source of state's power and its soul.

The Russian Federation is made up of ~200 ethnic groups, all with their own cultural customs and sometimes language with ethnic Russians(Slavs) being the dominant one, but what unites them all is their love for Mother Russia(The Land itself) and that Russian culture incorporates all their local customs as part of the greater whole, hence why the Russian language have separete words for Russians[the Slavic ethnicity] and Russians[Citizens of RF] which is something that's never explained/used in translations.

As Drawfs or Empire , even high elves , i always tryed to defend Kislev so hardly in Tw warhammer 2 against rats , orcs and chaos. But the ai is just so lost on legendary since start ... Pretty nice to see they made it to a full scale faction with fitting units in the next part .

[@GaldirEonai]

As Empire it's kind of annoying because Volkmar's quests force you to attack them unless some other faction takes out the region you need to pillage. With the Dorfs I pretty much always ally with them though, and they're great as backup when chaos starts spawning.

@@ryanmarshall1883 If you start with Grombrindal (and why wouldn't you, he's awesome), two of your quests take you up there so you're encouraged to expand north ASAP.

Tsardom, Druzhina, Boyars, Strelci, the architecture., vast frozen land, spring mud (Rasputitsa)...the inspiration with Russia is very strong. But there seems to be also some inspiration with Poland like e.g. the Winged Lancers aka Winged Hussars.

[@Vonstab]

The old version of Kislev was essentially the early Muscovite Tsardom but with the army being inspired by Poland-Lithuania with Winged Lancers and Horse Archers based on Lithuanian Tartars. Infantry came in the shape of Kossars who were inspired by Zaporozhian Cossacks. But Games Workshop added plenty of fantasy details and also did some visual changes. For example Wings Lancer tabletop models only kept the wong and lance of the Polish-Lithuanian Hussars, the armour was mainly based on Russian styles.

Beginner question: Do Warhammer Fantasy & 40K take place in the same “universe”? Like just at different points of time in history?

[@the_corvid97]

Nope, closest connection they have is within the same multiverse. Warhammer 40k takes place 40,000 years into our own future whilst Warhammer Fantasy's world is it's own planet. There used to be a theory that Fantasy took place on a lost colony world on the 40k universe but now it's no longer the case. Now they're only connected by the Warp.

[@tba113]

They used to. Orks, the Old Ones, and the Chaos Gods work more or less the same way in both universes, and at one point, Chaos armies had the option to include a summoned Chaos Space Marine as a specialist. Older 40K space maps had the Warhammer Fantasy planet classified as a Feral World deep within the Eye of Terror, and certain tales among Chaotic forces spoke of a powerful red-skinned sorcerer with one eye, which has a lot of parallels to Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons Legion of Space Marines. That said, Games Workshop has officially said the two are separate continuities.

Them being separate is probably the best move, though.
