    Back in the old days of tabletop Warhammer Fantasy, I had the misfortune to be on the receiving end of a charge of these. They turned a whole flank of my empire army and tied a game I thought I had otherwise won

      Aye, I was stationed on the northern Oblast when the last invasion came through the pass. They had already burned a dozen villages by the time we were able to bring them to battle. Nearly 30k men and twisted beasts. They had armor and numbers, but we had maneuverability and firepower. Not bad odds for a son of Kislev.
      But we had been baited. They waited until we were fully committed to spring their trap. They sacrificed all of the villagers they had captured, and opened up a rift in our rear to that godforsaken place that they draw their power from. Then these bastards came. They hit our lines so hard, they annihilated an entire lancer wing before we could even disengage. They were followed by a horde of those red sons of bitches with the flaming swords, they boxed in our infantry, and slaughtered our artillery. Our entire host was completely enveloped, we were dead men.
      I am only here to tell you this story because we were saved by…something. I’m still not sure what it was. I was dueling one of their blood champions on his great red steed, when I saw what appeared to be a man, but larger than any man I’ve ever seen, and armored in heavy grey plate, walk though the portal. I thought that this must be their champion, their god-anointed leader of the war host. I will admit, I thought we were doomed. My men stared in shock, but strangely enough, the effect on the followers of the dark gods was worse. All but the chosen of the blood god began to howl in terror, those with the blood God’s blessing looked on in shock, and then charged him.
      The man, if you could call him that, raised his screaming sword and howled to the moon, like the greatest wolf in the world. Then the scions of blood were upon him. Faster than the eye could see, he swung his sword in great sweeping arcs, and it made a terrifying keening as it ripped through god-blessed plate. The red beasts fell in droves. This disheartened the chaos host, and soon they began to break and flee. We counter attacked, and drove them back across the river Volga, but by the time we looked back, the man was gone. Every chaos beast was slain.
      To this day, I do not know what truly happened, and I have never experienced the like since. It was as if I felt no fear when he took the field. Rumors abound, but most of the men believe it was Ulric himself. I’m inclined to believe them.

    The Kvelligs, Gharhars, Tahmaks, Kuls, Tokmars etc are all Kurgans, and the Chi-an, Yin, Ming etc are all Hung (hehe). They are two big cultural groups that regroup many tribes much like norscans are comprised of the Bearsonlings, the Skaelings, the Vargs etc.
    TLDR : The Kurgan are not one major tribe they are a cultural group of many tribes.
