I have a slow growing human army for kings of war with mostly Empire, dogs of war and Kislev minis from the 90s. You can follow my slow progress and check out my older units on my blog: https://mandollies.com/2024/05/03/empire-reinforcements/

The high level backstory is that this is an army raised by Tzarina Katarin. She has seen visions of the end times, and knows that they only chance to stop it from happening is by stopping Archaon from gathering the chaos tribes in an unstoppable horde. By acting now, the forces of order has a chance to create an alternate timeline, where the end times never happen.

So she launches a northern crusade, planning to venture into the chaos wastes to stop the rise of Archaon before the end times happen. Karl Franz of course does not feel comfortable with sending everything based on visions, but the 2nd Imperial army, stationed in the east, is mobilized to join the crusade. Mercenaries and dwarf allies make up the rest of the force.

The crusade army already has a sizeable Kislev contingent, which will grow more, and is supported by other themed armies.

Planned forces:
Kislev Rota of Tzarina Katarin - the main force, lots of winged lancers, gryphon legion, ungol horse archers, kossars and other Kislev units
2nd Imperial army - Fairly standard empire army with an Ostermark theme, but also including units from other states and knightly orders
1st Imperial Panzer-Engineer regiment - Small mobile sub-army with heavy armour and a lots of tech. War wagons, steam tanks, birdmen and outriders
The people's crusade - Small sub-army of fanatics, warriors priests and other oddball religious folks
Cult of Ulric - Small sub-army of teutogen guard, white wolves, priests of ulric and any other wolf themed units
The Golden army - Tilean mercenary army with heavy golden armour. Republican guard, besiegers and venators
Myrmidian cult - Small greek themed sub-army. Blazing suns, Greek style constructs, priestesses of myrmidia
Dwarf allies - An army of dwarves from the strongholds in the Kislev worlds edge mountains
Dogs of war - Various other merc units, cursed company, grudgebringers and any other oddball units.
