Andros the Astromancer had been teased about his choice of Lores for as long as he could remember. He expected it from his classmates, many took advantage of his lack of physical stature and magical prowess. After years of study and excercise he finally earned the title of Dean of the Altdorf College of Astromancy. At the public coronation, the other deans held an impromptu roast; One by one they took the podium and playfully belittled Andros, as they noted that there was no aspect of Astromancy that another lore couldn't preform better. This was the last time Andros was seen in the Empire of Karl Franz, and is what many scholars speculate to have been the catalyst of the cursed semester, in which every dean vanished or was found dead over the course of six months. Andros fled to Estalia, where he gathered a following of Dragon Ogres attracted to his method of hunting with lightning bolts. Once he met El Jefe a pact was formed and he temporarily joined the Chaos Banner.
Sorcerer Lord: 345 : Level 4, Spell Familiar, Ironcurse Icon, Enchanted Shield, Word of Pain
Special: -1T next battle
Army Characteristics: No units may purchase marks of chaos; This is the only army that may take Dragon Ogres or a Shaggoth, and must include both.
Skrillix was the first lord to claim the realm of Estalia for the chaos gods, and has recieved many gifts from his two patrons: Tzeentch and Nurgle. He was last seen over 200 years ago, Banished by his Fatecrossed archenemy Morikhi to conclude the knight's Grail Quest. He has rippled through the ether with dual purposes: corrupt Andros to Tzeentch, the ultimate diviner of fate; and to get revenge on Morikhi for besting him so many years ago.
***Captured by Pope Fimir***
Demon Prince: 450 : Mot, Level 1, Diabolic Splendor, 3rd eye of Tz, Stream of Corruption, Acid Icor
Army Characteristics: This is the only army that may select Chosen, and must first earn a regiment of renown via the victory table; Skrillix also commands a demonic army within the realm of chaos containing his battle standard, as such his armies may never include a BSB.
El Jefe is the defacto leader of the Warriors of Estalia, and has spent years spreading his influence in subterfuse along with his ally, The Dark Lord Necrotis. Although Nurgle has given him many blessings, Jefe can feel his mind beginning to rot away, and knows his time to achieve immortality is now... Or never. Having raised an army in the hinterland of the continent, he marches to claim the fertile inner plains of Estalia in order to flush his ranks with the scattered beast tribes that cower in the Savannah. Once they are assimilated, none will be able to stand against the combined might of chaos!
Chaos Lord: 330 (+50 free):MoN, Rending Sword, Helm of Many Eyes, Talisman of Preservation, (Chaos Runeshield).
Army Characteristics: Only Mark of Nurgle is allowed. Must include one unit of Forsaken and at least one Spawn of Chaos.
Regiments of Renown:
Das Stündlaasters: 434 :24 Warriors with Full Command, Shields, The Raptuous Standard.
Ability: Cause Fear.
Das Stündlaasters are the most fervent believers in Andros' vision of an uncorrupted warrior society. Instead of looking to the dark gods for strength, these Philosopher-Soldiers have spent years honing their psyche and martial expertise. This devotion leads them to frequent acts of insane courage, often holding the line against seemingly insurmountable opposition. Rumors spread through opposing camps at night: of a group of warriors able to repel dual Brettonian Lances or hoard of Fimir Ironguts with equal ease, and dread of one day facing them across the field grows.
Los Castillianos: 336 :18 Warriors with Full Command, Shields, Additional Hand Weapons.
Ability: Armor Piercing.
Los Castillianos were the first martial house under Andros' banner founded in Estalia, and they consider themselves the "First House of the New Order." Their martial pride is legendary, and common belief is that Los Castillianos have felled more unit champions in duels defending the house's reputation for being the "First" than have enemy blades. Consisting entirely of warriors devoted to an ambidexterous combat style, the blades of Los Castillianos are not weapons, but extensions of being able to exploit the slightest chink in an opponents defence.
Los Conquistadors Nurglos: 469 :24 Warriors with Mark of Nurgle, Shields, Full Command, Festering Shroud.
Ability: Stubborn.
Regiment of Dishonor: 1/2 str next battle
