Warhammer Empire Colours

[Fhanados]

Hi all,

I have in my mind an army that takes Empire colours from different regions/organisations. Does anyone know what colours represent which regions or organisations, or a good resource to look for (ie Nuln, Reichland, Kislev, Knights Panther, Reiksguard etc etc)?

I'd do a google search, or maybe lexicanum. I don't know personally, but if i wanted to find out I'd start by looking there.

I have the colours and heraldry of the empire book, I will dig it out when I'm home from work and put up a list of the colours each faction use.

Altdorf - Largest and wealthiest city in the Empire. They use red and blue and often use the griffons head and hammer of sigmar symbols. Soldiers of Altdorf have lavish uniforms.

Averland - Wealthy southerners. They guard the dangerous black fire pass. Black and yellow colours and their symbol is a sun.

Hochland - Heavily forested region, troopers known for marlsmenship. Colours are red and green, banner is a white imperial cross and a red field.

Thanks to you both! Lexicanum had a great deal of info that will be handy for the army background, and Arguleon-veq's colour guide is amazing. Exactly what I needed!

My Empire project is still in the planning phase, but I hope to make use of most of the regions mentioned.
