Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Leagues of Votann: Einhyr Hearthguard

Product Information

Hailing from the Cthonian Mining Guild, Beserks are ferocious close combat fighters who load up with augmetics and charge headlong into combat, swinging brutal mining tools fashioned into weapons of war.* Sagitaur

So these are the new warlord trait/relic type add ons to characters. They cannot be added to Epic Heroes, because they have stuff already, supposedly. There are 4 that LoV has access to, and at least 2 of them are pretty good. A Long List makes its return, meaning that when the bearer (or the unit it is attached to) kills an enemy unit with any Judgement Tokens, you can immediately place a Judgement Token on another enemy unit that is visible to them. Very useful for getting tokens out there, especially as you generally have fewer than in 9th. Ciaphas Cain’s ninth adventure comes to audiobook for the first time, as the Hero of the Imperium faces down duplicitous T’au and voracious Tyranids on Quadravia, leading to some unexpected alliances. The Horus Heresy Collection VIII – French Edition Otherwise these are a great kit, and I’m looking forward to getting mine painted up. Brôkhyr Iron-master Much of the history of the old-school Squats (more on them below) has made it intoWarhammer 40k’s brand new, refreshed Leagues of Votann lore. Just like the Squats, the Leagues are the descendants of early human space colonists and prospectors who settled in the hazardous, mineral-rich galactic core. But there are some important differences.

Brôkhyr Iron-master

The name "Einhyr" is a fictional cognate to the einherjar of Norse mythology, which means literally "army of one" or "those who fight alone" in Old Norse. The einherjar are those who have died in battle and are brought to Odin's hall of Valhalla in Asgard by valkyries. Result: Draw. To declare a winner, we’d have to break into the Leagues’ secret vaults, and that’s not happening… yet… Built from the same kit asÛthar, but with a few varying weapon and bits choices, the Kâhl is your mainLeader unit, somewhat equivalent to a Space Marine captain. They’re the nominated war leader of a given Kindred (specific, named groups of Kin withina larger League). In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.

Shane– I really like how modular this kit is, it is a bunch of pieces but it allows for a bunch of kit bashing opportunities. I think there is a ton that can be done conversion wise for those that want to make it truly unique.

Theyns who truly excel at war may be selected to become members of the elite Einhyr formations, or else to ascend to the rank of " kâhl." Treading one of these paths does not preclude following the other at a later date, and some Kin have even belonged to both elite warrior circles at once. Most commonly, however, the kâhls stand apart as war leaders and generals, while the warriors of the Einhyr fulfil tactical roles as elite strike troops, bodyguards, voidship boarding parties and the like. There are allusions to existing models that use pre-Imperial technology. The domed head of the Ironkin resembles the curvy bonce of Adeptus Mechanicus Kastelan Robots. The Hearthkyn’s Etacarn Plasma Beamer has a lot in common with Belisarius Cawl’s ‘new’ range of Plasma weaponry, and the curvy panels and circular joint-covers of Hearthguard Exo Armour look at lot like his ‘innovations’in the Mk X Power Armour worn by Primaris Space Marines.It’s not all nerfs. The first Leagues of Votann detachment, Oathband, will allow you to select an enemy unit at the start of the game and give it two Judgment tokens. What’s more, you’ll earn a bounty in Command Points for destroying that target, earning more points the sooner in the battle you annihilate it. When you select a PSYKER unit to manifest psychic powers, you select one psychic power that unit knows and attempt to manifest it. With the exception of Smite, you cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in the same battle round, even with different PSYKER units. The same PSYKER unit cannot attempt to manifest Smite more than once during the same battle round.

The Squat model line contained infantry, elite warriors in egg-shaped Exo-Armour, heavy weapons teams, and squat bikers on motorbikes and trikes. In 6mm scale Epic they had a range of unusual vehicles, including the massive Goliath mega-cannon artillery piece, Cyclops super-heavy tank, a Land Train with an armoured engine hauling heavy gun carriages, Gyrocopters, and even a battle Zeppelin. The unit leader Theyn can be equipped with an auto-pattern bolt pistol, ion pistol or EtaCarn plasma pistol as well as a concussion gauntlet, plasma axe or plasma sword. Leagues of Votan Hearthkyn Warriors sprue 3, included twiceSelected from the most accomplished fighters in a Kinhold, the Einhyr Hearthguard have many roles – from bodyguards to deadly first-strike troops. Each Hearthguard has proved themselves over many years of front-line combat, ascending purely by the virtue of their deeds, just as the staunch meritocracy of the Leagues requires. At the heart of every League is a Votann Ancestor Core, an immeasurably powerful and ancient artificial intelligence system that contains millennia of accumulated lore and knowledge. These cores are at the centre of the Leagues’ society, the sum total of their culture and science. Hearthkyn Warrior • Hernkyn Pioneer • Brôkhyr Thunderkyn • Cthonian Beserks • Ironkin • Hearthkyn Salvager An Einhyr Hearthguard of the Greater Thurian League wearing a suit of exo-armour and armed with a Volkanite Disintegrator, shoulder-mounted Exo-armour Grenade Launcher and a Plasma Blade Gauntlet.

Yep, the points cost goes way over the 500 point threshold required for Boarding Actions – and that’s before calculating all the extensive wargear options. Last but not least, we have the magna-coil bike riding Hernkyn Pioneers, probably my favourite models from the set. These are quite sizeable models that come on three medium-size sprues and 90mm oval bases. A squad of Greater Thurian League Einhyr Hearthguard and their commanding hesyr outfitted with Volkanite Disintegrators and Plasma Blade Gauntlets. Their hesyr is idientified by the Weaveshield Crest on his exo-armour. Manufactured over three centuries by a dedicated team of Brôkhyr and Ironkin savants, Grudges End is not one single object. Rather, it is an entire suite of conjoined adaptor modules which can autoadjust to integrate themselves with any forgewrought bolt weapon. Introducing intelligent ballistic calibrators, a hypermunition micro-factory and a bewildering host of additional one-off augmentations, Grudges End transforms the host weapon into a tool that will indeed bring about the fatal demise of many a loathed nemesis of the Kin.Model equipped with a bolt weapon only. When you give a model this Relic, select one bolt weapon that model is equipped with.The war against the Death Guard continues, plague begins to ravage the worlds of Ultramar, and undeniable miracles begin to break down Roboute Guilliman’s understanding of the universe even as he denies his father’s divinity. Dark Imperium: The Omnibus – French Edition With that, the Oathband was ready. The Leagues of Votann are a new faction, so I wanted to take on as many different armies as possible to put them through their paces. I managed to steal Peachy from his painting duties long enough to take on his wonderful Ventrillian Nobles for the campaign’s opener – a 25PL duel between two evenly matched sides. These marvels use ancient technologies to increase the mass of a warrior’s fist as they swing, turning an already burly uppercut into an earth-shattering blow that can lift a hulking Ork right off their feet. Those who prefer the deftness of a sword over the raw power of their gauntlets can fit a thrumming plasma blade to their wrist, perfect for slicing and dicing the galaxy’s less damage resistant dangers. The League of Votann army set is not a particularly deep box, but it is well filled, and the presentation is really something special thanks to the slip cover. Besides the codex, tokens and datacards, 25 new miniatures are included: 1 Kâhl (which can also be assembled as special character Ûthar the Destined), 1 Einhyr Champion, 2x 10Hearthkyn Warriors, and 3Hernkyn Pioneers. Kâhl & Einhyr Champion review Every squad of Einhyr Hearthguard is led by a veteran warrior who bears the title of "hesyr" and is outfitted with a slightly different wargear loadout from the "standard" Einhyr.
