War Bear Riders
There is no more sacred an animal to the Motherland than the mighty bear. Its savage fury must be respected before it can be harnessed.Just as the people of Kislev worship Ursun, Bear-God of the Motherland, so too do they respect his kin which dwell in the wild lands and forests. These are no slave beasts to be whipped or abused – their riders honour them, and they return this honour. Only in this way can man and bear join their might to drive the hated slaves of Chaos howling back into the oblast.

Abilities
-
By Our Blood
Kislevite warriors are inherently stronger than weak-hearted Empire-men, who know nothing of the hardship and strife of lives lived on the unforgiving steppes.
Attributes
-
Causes Fear
This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing theirleadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
-
Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Armoured
Armoured units can block damage from any source apart fromArmour-Piercing damage.
- Armour-Piercing
The damage ofarmour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- Anti-Large
Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be adamage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
