Content pack: Boris Todbringer – Lords of the End Times. Immortal Empires ownership
- Unlocked by Boris Todbringer – Lords of the End Times, purchased individually or in the Lords of the End Times bundle. This pack also grants access to Immortal Empires without requiring ownership of a previous Total War: Warhammer game.
Middenland and the Temple of Ulric
Boris is an Empire Legendary Lord whose Immortal Empires faction is Middenland. His opening campaign is in Middenland, with Weismund held by Clan Gnaw. The Great Temple of Ulric in Middenheim is the centre of his faction’s development.
Defeating enemies earns Fervour for improving the Temple’s Sanctuaries. Developing them strengthens the faction and its Ulrican troops, while the Flame of Ulric supports further benefits and Winter Rites. Choose improvements to support the war you are fighting.
An Empire army that pushes into melee
Boris is a melee commander who can fight alongside his infantry. His pack’s Teutogen Guard and Knights of the White Wolf support an aggressive close-combat approach; the wider Empire roster still gives him ranged options.
Ar-Ulric Emil Valgeir supports Ulrican troops in the fighting. A protected Helstorm Rocket Battery can soften distant infantry before the lines meet. Watch the barrage as Boris and his soldiers close the distance.
Responding to the Drakwald
Reports of Beastmen activity create decisions about where to intervene. Khazrak One-Eye is Boris’s longstanding enemy, but the surrounding Empire also faces other threats. Keep a force ready to defend the approaches you leave behind when pursuing a report.
Graf of Middenheim
Boris Todbringer – Lords of the End Times unlocks the Elector of Middenland and Ar-Ulric Emil Valgeir. The opening is Middenland, with Clan Gnaw in Weismund, Fervour for the Great Temple of Ulric, and the Flame of Ulric. He once contested Franz for the throne.
The 2016 Beastmen article gives him the Runefang blow that cost Khazrak an eye. That wound is background on an older forest map. It is not a result of the Immortal Empires start.
