| - The steeds ridden by these tribes are smaller then most southern warhorses but are still powerful, foul-tempered and strong of limb. Once a rider has broken these tough horses, it will remain loyal to him until death, but they remain vicious and unruly to all others. Fed on a diet of human flesh and watered-down blood, these snorting, high-spirited steeds have a glint of intelligent menace in their eyes, and will trample, kick and bite as if berserk when engaged at close combat.[1a]

| - The steeds ridden by these tribes are smaller then most southern warhorses but are still powerful, foul-tempered and strong of limb. Once a rider has broken these tough horses, it will remain loyal to him until death, but they remain vicious and unruly to all others. Fed on a diet of human flesh and watered-down blood, these snorting, high-spirited steeds have a glint of intelligent menace in their eyes, and will trample, kick and bite as if berserk when engaged at close combat.[1a] In battle, the speed and mobility of Marauder Horsemen leaves even the most able cavalrymen of the Old World sorely lacking. Able to steer their steeds with the subtlest of movements of the waist and knees, the tribesmen have both hands free to wield wicked blades or powerful composite bows. They range ahead of the main columns, galloping around the enemy battle line and cutting off any chance of escape. When the enemy inevitably flees the onslaught of the main Chaos army, it is these horsemen that ride them down. Expert hunters all, these are the true lords of the steppes, for theyare as swift as the wind and as merciless as an ice storm.[1a]
