Boris Todbringer can be taken as a Lord choice. He must be fielded exactly as presented here and no extra equipment or magic items can be bought for him (except for the options given below).

Boris is one of the most ferocious warriors in the Empire and the province of Middenland is one of the most powerful and independent of the Imperial states. He lost his right eye fighting against Chaos warbands in the Drakwald forest. As the Count of Middenland he is a fervent devotee of the Cult of Ulric whose chief temple is situated in Middenheim. When Karl Franz was elected Emperor after the death of his father, only Boris Todbringer of Middenland opposed him. Boris lost the vote despite the support of the High Priest of Ulric, but has since proved to be the most loyal and energetic of Karl Franz's Counts.

Weapons: Runefang.

Armour: Full plate armour and shield.

Mount: Barded warhorse. He can be fielded on foot (-21 pts).

Magic Banner: If an army is lead by Elector Count standard bearer of one unit of state troops (halberdiers, spearmen, swordsmen, handgunners) may carry a magic banner worth up to 50 points.

Runefang: Magic weapon. All hits of Runefang wound automatically with no armour save allowed.

The Talisman of Ulric: The Elector Count wears the Talisman of Ulric on a chain around his neck. This is an ancient heirloom of the Counts of Middenland and offers protection against harm. It gives a wearer a 5+ ward save. In addition wearer is immune to all cold-based attacks (Breath of a White Dragon, etc.). In addition, a character wearing the Talisman of Ulric automatically recovers wounds he has suffered at the start of his turn. Only 1 wound may be recovered each turn, and the character may never have more wounds than he began with. If the character is slain outright the Talisman has no power to regenerate wounds.
