do the armies of kislev use lamellar

(1/1)

soupcanursa:
Do kislev troops use lamellar armor I ask because kislev is based off of Russia and medieval russians used lamellar. as a side note do kossar ware armor I only seem them were clothing or nothing

Fidelis von Sigmaringen:
This is what WFRP 2 "Old World Armoury" p. 21 has to say on the matter:

In a land under the constant threat of a major Chaos invasion, the Kislevites are resigned to utilizing whatever means they can to turn back the ravenning hordes. Whereas peasants in other lands can rarely afford armour, nearly all fighters in Kislev don leather, hides, or whatever else is at hand in defense of their land. The Boyars, Kislevite officers, dress in better quality light armour, occasionally mixing in mail components. Only the Winged Lancers, however, have armour fine enough to rival those panoplies worn by elite soldiers in other lands. Wearing spiked helmets, combined mail and plate armour, and mounted on huge warhorses, it is through their cunning fighting abilities and strength at arms that Chaos
has yet to fully overrun the icy wastes of the northern land.

To answer your second question: it is correct that in the 6th edition Kislev AB, the Kossars (like the Ungol Horse Archers) do not have access to any armour.

so if thy do ware lamellar only boyars, druzhinas, winged lancer,griphon legion, kreml guard and outer elite troops would ware it because its heavier?

Fidelis von Sigmaringen:
I should think it is limited, because it is more expensive.
