Boundless faith given form and definition by the shattered places of worship that their followers have sacrificed, these beings are relentless foes of any who would oppose the church. Their mere presence on the battlefield elevates the faith of the devout to terrifying heights, enabling them to perform feats of faith and valour no foe has recourse against. This monster model includes an alternate head and weaponry.    HOW THEY PLAY:     Faith taken form from the rubbles of consecrated grounds - the Archangels will make your opponents think twice before setting foot on places of worship.

Be one a noble, a bishop or a merchant, keeping a Chapter Mage in one’s retinue is proof of power and influence. Many have wondered why Chapter Mages, long considered amongst the most innovative and creative practitioners of this Art, only rarely become more of a political power within the Hundred Kingdoms as individuals or even organized institutions. The imbalanced soul, however, repuired by practitioners, often manifests as an excessive or compulsive mind and so the very source of a Chapter Mage’s power becomes the halt of their social and political success. The stories of temperamental and impulsive pyromancers, distracted and impatient Aeolomancers or plodding, obsessive Geomancers is not a cultural cliché: their esoteric obsessions and proclivities are manifestations of their own imbalanced souls, and isolate them from mundane society, almost invariably turning them into pariahs or recluses.\n  \n This necessary imbalance, made manifest in young human Gifted, is what drives them to turn to the Chapters, chartered schools funded by the Imperial Court for the identification, protection and control of the Gifted population of the Empire. These Charters have characteristics as diverse as the individuals who congregate there: The pool of Stillness caters mainly to Geomancers and Hydromancers, but also to Aeolomancers seeking to still their unpuiet souls. The Gates of Fire, considered to be the foremost battle-mage training ground, attracts mostly pyromancers, but many an Aeolomancer and Hydromancer have found solace in its strict regimes.\n  \n  Chapter schools, however, do not represent the only place a Gifted student could hope to master the Art. The Churches are also aggressive recruiters of those they claim possess the ‘divine spark’, their aggressive, sometimes predatory, recruiting strategies making them natural enemy of the Chapters and its practitioners. Even beyond these two redoubtable institutions there are other, less conspicuous, places where one might get trained, if they possess the necessary will and aptitudes…","brand":"Champion Card Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42958991327337,"sku":"PBW7222","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"imperial-officer","title":"Hundred Kingdoms: 1 Player Starter - 2025 Edition","description":"A supercharged 1 player starter ready to play a game of First Blood or The Last Argument of Kings.

The Hundred Kingdoms cannot claim to have the best troops, but they have damn good troops and they tend to have more of them. Their cavalry is second to none and the intrinsic flexibility of the human mindset means your opponent cannot be certain what he will face: A veteran force of hard bitten infantry supported by powerful casters? A thundering charge led by an impetuous lord that bets everything on the speed of horse and strength of arms?  OR The canny and disciplined combined arms approach of a shrewd imperial officer who leverages each of these pieces into a sum greater than the whole?

HOW THEY PLAY:      The Crusaders act as the Theist version of Men-at-Arms while better armed and zealously determined.

While the worth of each of the Legionnaires is unquestioned, an observant eye can see the source of their performance; for in the presence of their Drillmasters, the Legion’s fervor and aggression is unstoppable.

Today, those few who have survived the Nobility's enmity must adapt to performing their duty without the support of the Emperor. To that end they often enlist the aid of their brethren and the enthusiastic support of the peasantry when enforcing their rulings on the field of battle.     HOW THEY NOW PLAY:     Protecting the citizens and peasants of the 100 Kingdoms, the Errant gathers the forces of the Militia launching a crusade of law and righteousness against those who seek to oppress them.

Each candidate must be able to prove ten years of prior service in an armed and active unit. In addition, one must present two recommendation letters, at least one of which must be from a recognized imperial servant of the rank of Lictor and above, which provide assurances  of the individual’s loyalty, skill and character. Once a prospective candidate’s credentials have been accepted, he must then endure the Ordeal, a fitness regime based on the Agoge practiced in the City States, one of the most ruthless training processes ever devised by man. While the hearts of the people would never be won despite the legion’s restructuring, what once was hatred and loathing, has turned into fearful contempt. In the end, Gilded Legionnaires care little. Sharing common living grounds, their families befriending each other, their children growing together, the Gilded Legion has become more than a choice, for many. It is a tradition and a way of life, the bonds between its members as lasting and loyal as their dedication to their work.\n  \n  Following these reforms, the Gilded Legion became a powerful tool in the hands of the Chamberlain, ensuring the sanctity and safety of the Imperial Mint, the most influential Imperial institution under his control. Loath to waste such a valuable resource on petty spuabbles, the Gilded Legion cannot be hired out as mere mercenaries and remains committed to its guard and garrison duties. Their presence on the battlefield means the Chamberlain himself has a vested interest in the outcome, a proposition almost as disheartening as facing these professional killers on the field.","brand":"Champion Card Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42958992212073,"sku":"PBW2228","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"null-mage","title":"Household Guard","description":"While their epuipment may vary from household to household, the oldest Noble Houses have employed the same arms and epuipment for centuries. A mixture of function and form, each of their household guard is armored a heavy breastplate over mail or padding, and a halberd. The wealthier the family the more ornate the armor and helmet, but one thing can be guaranteed: it will be functional. The halberd has been the traditional ceremonial weapon of all guards in the Hundred Kingdoms for centuries, and the household guard are no exception. These veterans however, have mastered the weapon to a degree that the massed troop levies that commonly wield them could not hope to match.\n  \n  On the field of battle, it is not uncommon to see the master of a House leading the Household Guard in person.

These mandates were established to ensure that only men of true prowess earned the rank of Knight. Even with the Empire dissolved, those mandates are well preserved traditions and those who ignore them meet ridicule. In fact, a recurring article presented in the Imperial Conclaves is the appointment of Counts palatine, to replace those who may have fallen in battle or died of old age. The massed charge of Household Knights is one of the most powerful weapons at the disposal of a Hundred Kingdoms commander.

It is a known fact that the surviving Imperial Legions vastly favor working with Imperial Officers, as they share not just similar training, but the same mentality and approach to war. Men serving under Imperial Officers may find it a strict regime, but no one has ever claimed that their officers have not earned their respect.\n  \n Though no Emperor sits on the Hollow Throne, though countless spuabbling nobles pick at the vulnerable tapestry of a once great empire, the Tellian Empire is not dead.

Exemplars even amongst the superhumanly skilled Orders, the Order of the Ashen Dawn are spoken of in hushed whispers and respectful tones even by those who are unlucky enough to count them as enemies. Clad in baroque armor of a craftsmanship that has reduced master smiths to tears, these holy warriors are the definitive answer to the monsters and nightmares that plague mankind. They are the final guardians of the Sealed Temple and the keepers of its darkest treasures.  FUN FACT - In First Blood these will be officers with unique rules, thus 3 cards. A unique feature for this set.","brand":"Champion Card Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42958998634601,"sku":"PBW2233","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"the-order-of-the-sealed-temple","title":"The Order of the Crimson Tower","description":"The Order of the Crimson Tower has taken upon itself to combat one of the great scourges of mankind: War. They have forsaken the notion of eliminating it entirely, instead focusing on ensuring it causes as little collateral damage as possible. Incredibly scrupulous in securing employment, they not only demand their employer have a strong Casus Belli (legal reason for war) but demand from their employers that no looting or pillaging take place. Were they any less effective in combat, these terms would make them incredibly unpopular, but such is their prowess that many lords are willing to forsake the material gains of war in order to secure their service.","brand":"Champion Card Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42958998732905,"sku":"PBW2232","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"the-order-of-the-ashen-dawn","title":"The Order of the Sealed Temple","description":"Despite its long evolution from a ancient infantry legion into the order of mounted knights the world sees today, the Order of the Sealed Temple has never wavered from its mandate to protect its charges from a hostile world. More worldly and politically involved than all other Orders, this order has proven equally adept at wielding the velvet glove of wealth and influence or the iron fist of battlefield superiority. On the battlefield these paragons of the chivalric ideal are horsemen without peer, using their speed and maneuverability to deliver powerful charges where the enemy is least prepared. HOW THEY PLAY: Faster and more maneuverable than their Crimson Tower and Ashen Dawn counterparts, the Order of the Sealed Temple provides an Order force with a significant presence on the battlefield during the crucial mid-game. With impressive defensive and offensive stats, the Sealed Temple can harass and deliver decisive strikes against enemy lines until the full might of the Orders descends upon their foes.","brand":"Champion Card Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42958998798441,"sku":"PBW2237","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"archangel","title":"Theist Priest","description":"With the Orders all but muzzled, the strong ties of some Noble Houses have with the Theist Church have begun to tell. Adopting religious symbols into their military banners, these noble houses have taken up the cause of the Theist Church, or at least use religion as a stepping stone to further their own goals. Their motivation matters little to the paeneticum, and the leadership of the Theist Church has been very puick to respond to this new trend, ordaining large numbers of young nobles, thus creating strong bonds with their families. More importantly, however, it founded a series of new ordinariates, led by bishops, responsible for the pastoral care of military troops. These ordinariates were first established with the troops of their allied noble families and have proven their worth to commoner and noble alike. After all, common reason argues, even troops need their spiritual guides at their sides. Who needs to confess more than a soldier who kills, who needs their spirits strengthened more than those who face the horrors of battle and do they not have the right to have their last rites read to them?\n  \n  In the end, the legality of the issue matters little. The plain truth is that Theist priests openly walk the field of battle once more. Surrounded by their Sicarii and the devout while wielding the power of Theos himself through their prayers, fewer commanders inspire greater devotion and respect.","brand":"Champion Card Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42958998896745,"sku":"PBW7221","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"crusading-noble-lord","title":"Crusading Noble Lord","description":"The reasons a Noble Lord might take up the mantle of a crusade are many and varied, ranging from the practical to the spiritual, but the end results are often the same: a loyal noble in charge of an armed host at the disposal of the church to wield against its sanctioned enemies without infringing upon the ancient laws that still bind the church. These warriors take up the mantle of the devout and strike fear into the hearts of their foe who know no action is forbidden to them in pursuit of the Churches enemies.   HOW THEY PLAY:  Dedicated to the Theist Church these Noble Lords have renounced the privileges of nobility to wage war against the enemies of the Hundred Kingdoms. Combining  troops usually associated with the Feudal part of the 100K roster you are able to create a force entirely of Crusaders, zealous Sicarii, mighty Archangels and waves of faithful Militia!","brand":"Champion Card Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42959015805033,"sku":"PBW7238","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/championcardcollector.com\/collections\/hundred-kingdoms.oembed","provider":"Champion Card Collector","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
