Of course I know I'm late. The two warrior priests are not completed - things to do: bases, further highlighting etc. but I thought that what I needed was to start posting and get myself to finally finish the army.

The story behind the army was developed during a lenghty RPG/battle campaign that I played with my friends with borrowed/unpainted minis.
To make a long story short:
The Von Waldheims were a powerful clan, whose influences reached far beyond their home city of Altdorf. With family members ranked high in the Imperial army and magic colleges, the future looked bright for the von Waldheims. Victor von Waldheim was one of the most successful and promising youngsters in the clan - with the military achievements surpassing those of older and more experienced leaders. He fought the greenskins and beastmen in the dark forests of the Empire and his name was mentioned with a blessing whenever peasants heard that his battalion was coming to relieve them of their nightmare foes. He married Maria, his childhood sweetheart and had a baby girl. Save for his perilous line of duty his prospects looked bright and his life was one of happiness.
That continued until it was decided that Maria and Ilsa, their daughter, will join a family delegation on their way to Kislev where a small clan gathering was to be held. The delegation left Altdorf accompanied by a powerful escort of veteran soldiers. That however turned out not to be enough to repel an attack. When the site was later examined by Imperial officials they decided that it must have been an unusually numerous and powerful group of the Undead that were responsible for the slaughter. There was no one to be found that could tell the tale - soldiers and servants were slain and Maria, Ilsa and some other family members were missing.
When the horrid information reached Victor, he jumped on his horse and galloped to the site with his faithful comanions following his trail. When he reached the spot two days later and saw what remained of the convoy, he dropped to his knees and weeped. His life lost its meaning and he felt that there was no reason for him to take another breath.
The news spread fast. The von Waldheims gathered to decide what to do next and determine whether it was possible to rescue the captives. A host of veteran warriors was mustered and with support of other families and the Emperor himself they set out for a search and rescue mission. Victor, who in the meantime turned into a white-haired, stone-hearted desperate was leading the army. He had no mercy for anyone standing in his way. His agents were looking for clues while his regiments dropped all oposition to their knees. He wandered to the depths of the Dark Forest and fought battles against chaos cultists, beastman and greenskins. His expedition to Sylvania became a legend even in the distant lands of Bretonnia and Tilea. He was asking questions and his sword flashed whenever there was no answer.
With ongoing support from the clan and the most powerful families in the country the small army grew stronger. Some sent their troops because they pitied the von Waldheims but most thought that it was in the Empire's best interest to have a determined warrior leading an army against the sworn enemies of the Emperor and the world of light.
They soon became known as Von Waldheim's Mourners for everyone believed that all Victor could achieve was shed tears over his lost family and hopefully avenge their deaths. They didn't know that Victor's mission began to bear fruit and information was being gathered. There was still hope...
The warrior priests are Ludwig Simmhoff and Albert Holz. The Sigmarites proved their worth on the battlefield as well as when it came to soothing the souls of their camrades weary with fighting.
