The Black King’s Rook / Artist: Simon Sherry / Biography: Danny The Black King and his Bullrock The Bullrock, or King’s Rook, are massive creatures created by the Shaman to carry supplies and extra weapons for the Army of the Black Spear. Strong but limited in movement due to their sheer size, they are the product of a long extinct race of Pachyderm that was gene-spliced with the last single survivor of the Giant race dwelling in the Dark Cathedrals of the Shaman’s Apothecary. Only ever used for battle, Bullrocks are treated with special care during times of non-war. (Peace isn’t a word in the Black Spear dictionary) The King is often seen in their company feeding and grooming them exclusively. In fact, so special are these creatures in the eyes of their master, he commanded the Shaman to create creatures specifically engineered to tend to their pens. In turn, the King’s Shaman has found more than one way of repurposing the byproducts of such a massive lifeform.

The Black Queen-Knight’s Pawn / Artist: Simon Sherry / Biography: Danny The Little Sisters , as they’re commonly known (there is no room for affection in the Army of the Black Spear) are much like their male counterparts and are more than capable to form their own ranks on the battlefield . They will usually fraternize with the King-Knight’s pawns, who are more often than not their husbands and neighbours. Though it is uncommon for these warrior women to aim their sites for promotion to the rank of Queen-Knight, it is not unusual for one to occasionally rise to the rank of Queen herself, such is the turn-over rate for the role of King’s Consort.

Artist: thickblackoutline / Biography: Danny Artist Interview: thickblackoutline In past lives the Queen’s Pawn has always been the Queen’s Lady-In-Waiting. / Though considerably less in power she tends to bear a remarkable likeness to Her Majesty. / Whether this is intentional or not has never been made clear to the public. / The secret lies in the breeding and cloning experiments conducted by the University of the Gears. / The Queen’s pawns are one of the very few species that can interact with the King spawn due to the fact that they are secretly related due to the same program. Even though she remains the Queen’s favourite the Queen’s pawn has exactly the same chance as every other pawn to be promoted. No favouritism is given on the field of battle.

The White King / Artist: Scott Robinson / Biography: Danny The White King’s Story The king had surrounded himself all his long life with men of power, spirituality and ambition building a Kingdom over the millennia to rival all those that surrounded his borders. / With the help of a fallen Angel whom he had tricked into servitude he has built and commissioned the University of the Gear, to create new and wonderful machinery and search the murky waters of mysticism to create weapons and soldiers. His beautiful and young wife picked for her ability to survive rather than love, had proved to be a winning hand and it was she who ran the royal house with an iron fist. With this choice, the King had opened up a Pandora’s box of intrigue and ambition that would play in the background without his knowledge. The King also knew his limitations, all his life he had built up this vast society that placed him at its apex, but in reality he was a hollow man with no real talent. He was not a great general; even a soldier and his faith, even in old age could be considered heretical. For the truth hid a different story. The King himself was a fallen Angel expelled from Heaven because of pride. The white king had never learnt his lesson and over thousands of years had hidden the truth of his origins and taken over the whole kingdom. But as the bitterness and years ate away at him his thoughts had moved onto more perverse spiritual matters. The King had been building up an unstoppable army for centuries and knew how to apply for challenging rights to the battlefield of the Ancients. By nominating for the Cosmic battlefield he could prove once and for all that his God had made a mistake and would welcome him back through the gates of Heaven. / All he could do was watch and wait for the game to play out. / That game was his life and that of all those he ruled.

The White Queen-Bishop’s Pawns / Artist: rubyred / Biography: Danny Because of his position, the Bishop is also expected to lead in any Military assault. / He has therefore had the University of the Gears gene splice his werehounds with prisoners and captives to produce his Battalion of Hounds. / These soldiers are savage and are under exclusive command of the Bishop who has had a specific gene implanted to guarantee unswerving loyalty, similar to the King’s personal guard.

The Black King’s Knight / Artist: Simon Sherry / Biography: Danny Excellence in military studies and on the battlefield gives the ordinary soldier a chance to become a Knight for the King the Black Spear. Generations ago it was discovered “breeding and class” had no place in determining one’s fitness to lead on the battle field. / Those chosen as the best are sent to be “improved” by the Shaman. These Centaur type warriors can leap over the dead and the fighting and have two hearts to steer their massive frames. / Selection is considered a great honour and a privileged life greets those that achieve this lofty acclaim.

The White King’s Bishop / Artist: Quigonjim / Biography: Danny Artist Interview: Quigonjim Though it is rare for angels to be expelled from Heaven, when they do they are more often than not found in the employ of ambitious Kings and Overlords. / Extremely wise and powerful these fallen angels are also unpredictable. / Ignorant royalty often think that they will do their bidding no matter how evil the deed, but an Angel is the model of God’s will and even though they have been expelled from heaven doesn’t mean it was evil traits that led to that expulsion. / An Angel will never reveal its reason for expulsion and will often cling to a firm belief they will be forgiven and return some day to Heaven. / This often means they take on higher stations of the church as a secondary role to their employment. / Angels may have power, speed and knowledge but they are also mortal to a degree and carry great guilt. / They will not pass over bodies in their path but are great commanders in battle. / Angels will sacrifice themselves when needed and considering it to be for the greater good and ironically a way to return to heaven. The King who was a higher order of Angel than the Bishop seized on the opportunity that expulsion presented and tricked the Angel into his service, knowing how to manipulate the powerful figure but never revealing his own true origins to it.

The Black King-Bishop’s Pawn / Artist: Simon Sherry / Biography: Danny The right side of the Shaman’s brain, the masculine, is represented by things more natural and organic. In any effective army, the most efficient use of resources will always provide a distinct advantage. Knowing this, the King’s Shaman often recycles a variety of waste products including Bullrock droppings and the remains of the vanquished, and sends them back into the battlefield in a multitude of forms. While on the whole less effective on the battlefield due to their lumbering pace and ramshackle physiology, these muck golems serve a purpose both as expendable cannon fodder and biological weapon. More often than not, those who have met their end while fighting the Shaman’s foot-soldiers are smothered and engulfed as opposed to being beaten in combat. :

The White King’s Knight / Artist: No Frills Art / Biography: Danny The Knight’s Tale Nothing matters more than experience in battle. This the White King knows only so well. Once again drawing heavily on the University’s archives and powers, fallen Generals are recalled over and over again to relive battles that they have been participants in. The White Army Generals have long fought or fought under past greats and every career soldier dreams of being immortalized forever- literally. / Though the King’s knights are products of the Supernatural Wing of the University, the King likes to keep them close at hand .

The White Queen-Rook’s Pawn / Artist: Sjem / Biography: Danny One of the White King’s great assets – even though he possesses a fallen Angel in his ranks was his belief that faith alone would not save his army and the art of both mechanoid and wizardry could always be relied upon to be great allies when administered carefully. / Hence the reason the king kept Universities that studied the mechanical and more unorthodox majical arts. / It was through these academies principled by the Queens Bishop that the flank engines were created… Due to the massive size of mechanoid monster that is the Steam City it is slow to prime and start and is restricted in it’s movements at first. To counter this a small army of Blasters were created. / Incredibly fast initially on take off they eventually maintain a much slower speed up the battlefield. / This sudden burst of speed can surprise the enemy and give the impression that the mother ship is capable of the same acceleration.

The Black King / Artist: Simon Sherry / Biography: Danny The culture of the Army of the Black Spear since time immemorial has been that of the warrior. Descendant of a hundred Kings, he holds the collective memory of all those that led before him. He knows the secrets of the Shaman and will settle for nothing less than total obedience from all that he controls. Ironically, though he is a warrior King he has never seen face to face battle with an enemy due to his abilities as extreme commander, and the fact that Tribal Army law forbids him from entering any fray that could endanger his rule or life no matter how small the odds. Continually frustrated by this, he takes what small satisfaction he can from adding another notch to his throne as each opposing army falls.
