Ancient History:
“Lord Winter” is the eldest and most powerful of the Sons of Dark Father, the secret sorcerers of [[Uzkulak]] that practice the Lore of Winter. Rikwyr’s legs have already changed to cold, unmoving stone, forcing him to be carried about by his ogre slaves, the Coldstone Guard.

Rikwyr and his Coldstone Guard are deployed and must move together, with the two Ogre models flanking the Chaos Dwarf sorcerer model in the center; when together the characters move at he Ogres’ movement of 6. If either of the Ogres is slain, the unit cannot move for the rest of the battle, though it may turn in place as normal. Rikwyr and his Coldstone Guards may join other units as normal for a Special Character.
The Coldstone Guard both have Heavy Armour and Great Weapons. Such is their dedication that the ogres may wield their Great Weapons one-handed while supporting Rikwyr. Unless Rikwyr is slain, the Coldstone Guard uses his Leadership for all tests.
Blackice Banner
A standard of dragonhide flayed from the ancient ice drake Wyrdrak, and anointed by dipping it into the nigh-frozen River Ruin near the gates of Uzkulak, this banner is said to contain an ice daemon and be holy to the heretical sons of Dark Father, since it seems to draw cold to itself.
Any unit that Rikwyr is in is immune to both the Lore of Ice or the Lore of Winter.
Cause Fear
The Coldstone Guard are hulking figures, their pallid flesh unfazed by the frozen armor of magically-hardened ice they wield. They cause Fear in the enemy.
