Why are you here? Mortal, birthed in pain and blood. Plaything of capricious gods. Mortal, raised on hardship and toil. Worshipper and sacrificer. Mortal, doomed to strife and wasting death. Bloodstained priest and screaming victim. Know that all the world is an altar of death, ever yearning for the bloodletting of the living, running red and slick with the savage lifeblood of untold tribes.
Know your duty, mortal, and fulfill your reason for being: Wage war in the name of your gods, honour your kin and slay your foes. Know the very cause of your existence: Go forth, mortal, and die.

@Olthannon: Thank you most kindly! I'm practicing with backgrounds all the time, since it's something I'm a raw amateur at. Good to know it worked.

Nice pic. For some reason it makes me think of that famous battle 'The Night of Terror'.

Re: WHFB: Thirsting Altar
Some of the axes bring Streltsi to mind, or are those more general than that?
This was unexpected!

They have a very Byzantine feel for me, with their lamelar armour.
The proportions of the last one look a bit off. His upper body is a bit short. Almost like he has some dwarf blood somewhere in his family...
