The Empire is a beacon for all human learning and culture in a dangerous world, its light surrounded on all sides by dark forces that constantly threaten to extinguish it. These brave men are more than prepared to lay down their lives to protect the lands and people they hold dear. It is the variety of these troop types that is the chief strength of an Empire army. Ever on a war footing, ranks upon ranks of highly trained professional soldiers make up the nation’s backbone. Though his reign has long-since ended, the Empire is nevertheless a force to be reckoned with. Since Sigmar first united the primitive tribes of men, the nation has had to fight for its very survival with constant vigilance. Tempered in battle from the moment of its birth, the Empire represents the last bastion of Mankind.
