	Boris is a pretty strong beat stick character and is "RELATIVELY" reasonably priced for a named character at 375 points (285 for Boris and 90 for Urskin). He has some pretty great stats which allow him to stand toe to toe with most armies kill lords, and a reasonable chance to give [[Chaos Lord]]s a good kicking. His special rule '''Kin of the Bear God''' means he can give [[Kossars]] a pseudo Mark of Chaos for 30 points per unit, which gives them +1 attack so it's best used on on big units of kossars to get the most out of it. '''The Armour of Ursun''' is a set of full plate, which combined with his shield gives him a 3+ armour save (2+ when he's mounted), and has the extra bonus of every time he is hit by an attack in combat he may throw another one back after the attacks have been resolved (unless he's been killed by them), which is pretty good but the main attraction is '''The Shard Blade''', which increases his Strength by 2 to a unholy S7. Yes, his attacks are as strong as a [[Bloodthirster]]s (or stronger depending on the edition). The Shard Blade also forces the opponent to take a toughness test which causes another wound if failed, with no armour or ward saves allowed. All of this, plus the extra attacks from Urskin means he can spit out a disgusting amount of damage in the correct circumstances.

	Speaking of Urskin, the big bear is a bit of beat stick all in his own right. He's S6, with 4 attacks so he's quite capable at mauling most infantry he runs into. He has a 5+ armour save from his thick coat and causes Fear from being a big fuck off bear. In addition if a unit he's in combat with breaks and falls back, he MUST pursue it regardless of if Boris is alive or not, so he can cause himself and Boris to be singled out in some situations.

	He is Kislevs 3rd "secret" legendary lord and will be playable after capturing and holding Kislev (the city), Praag and Erengrad for 10 turns in the Kislev campaign. In the TWW version of the lore after he was killed his body was washed away in the river Lynsk and frozen in ice. [[Kostaltyn]] knows where he is entombed, and regularly visits it to meditate at the location, or vent his frustrations regarding Katarin's focus on politics rather than ''directly'' acting to better Kislev.

	He is obviously resurrected to rejoin the battle against Chaos. ''How'' he is revived seems to be different though, with at least ''three'' conflicting versions in the very same campaign -- either through the efforts of Katarin or Kostaltyn's forces (the actual quest battle), the Advisor thawing him out to ask for his aid in getting a drop of Ursun's blood (start of his campaign), or Ursun roar reviving him outright (Boris' own words this time). No matter what caused it, the fact that Boris was revived ''outright'' from death is impressive, given the lack of obvious revival or resurrection magic in Warhammer lore, especially compared to D&D.

	Regardless of the cause, Boris is back, and he's built for combat with high armour and damage. His ability trees give him a bunch of leadership and combat buffs when fighting Chaos and large units (these overlap a lot), as well as buffing any bear-related unit like Bear Cavalry and the Elemental Bear. And he'll be even stronger when you find Urskin after he ran off to krump Chaos warriors.		Regardless of the cause, Boris is back, and he's built for combat with high armour and damage.

	Sadly Boris met his end in 2517 IC while leading an army into [[Norsca#Troll Country\|Troll Country]], when they came upon a Kurgan warband pushing south towards Kislev. The forces clashed and Boris charged into the centre of the Chaos horde, but was cut off by the Kurgans from the rest of the army. Realising that he was separated, he fell upon the classic Russian philosophy of "There Is No Land Beyond the Volga" and he and Urskin made a final stand that would make [[The Lord of the Rings\|Boromir]] proud. Boris and Urskin carved their way through dozens of enemies, taking numerous wounds that should have dropped the bugger 10 times over, but he held on through sheer force of will, until Urskin was able to break through the chaos hordes and return Boris to the Kislevite army. Boris finally succumbed to his wounds after directing the battle and securing a victory against the chaos forces, falling from the back of Urskin, dead. Seeing his fallen master and friend, Urskin went berserk and charged off into the north and according to legend he went to slaughter the north men responsible for Boris's death.

	In the End times it is established that the Kurgan warleader was punished by Archaon for losing the battle but spared death for killing Boris. His punishment? Being stuck leading an army of beastmen (which is a punishment if you consider the relative power of their army book) with Ungrol Four Horn as a subordinate. It was also shown that Urskin was still hunting Boris' killer and makes a surprise appearance at the end of 'of Ice and Snow'. He seems to have grown a fair bit, described as 'The biggest creature any if them had ever ~~scene~~' two lines after the same group were all looking at a cygor. That's a very big bear. Whether this causes the Kurgan to now be imagined as Warhammer's John Candy is up to the reader.
