Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Leagues Of Votann Army Set

Product Information

Interestingly, the Beserks also field Ironkin-aided sapper teams armed with ‘Mole Grenade Launchers’ that fire grenades under the ground. The sprue also builds special character Ûlthar the Destined, who has his own specific head and back crest, and carries the Blade of the Ancestors, a sword. Watch that you don't get outmaneuvered by your opponent, as they can feel a bit slow on the table, but don't be afraid to stick them in the thick of the fight and force your opponents to meet them head-on. The Kin share a technological STC ancestry with the Imperium, but the design language is less cluttered and gothic, and more utilitarian and “retrofuturistic” with many rounded elements.

This rule applies judgement tokens to enemy units for various misdeeds and each unit can accumulate up to three.Next there's the far-flung and scattered Trans-Hyperian Alliance, who gain a bonus to their attack role if they lose members of their unit. As a general rule, you can spot the female-presenting heads from the male-presenting heads by their absence of beards and slightly smaller noses. As mentioned I think it is a great start to an army, though i would have preferred a Grimnyr (psyker) in place of the champion, mix it up instead of having two combat characters, but that is just my preference. Critical Hits are used to trigger other weapon abilities, which in the case of the SP Conversion Beamer is an additional D3 hits from its Sustained Hits D3 ability.

There have been some phenomenal Ûthar the Destined miniatures painted up by GW’s favourite influencers and painters in the hobbysphere. All of the named leagues come with three rules each, a warlord trait, a relic and a stratagem specific to that league. But I remember back when the T’au were first introduced, I also thought they didn’t fit the setting, and now they are an integral part of the lore and I can’t imagine 40k without them. The Warhammer 40k 10th edition Leagues of Votann rules – as laid out in the free, 10th edition Leagues of Votann index cards – are pretty close to how the army functioned at the end of 9th edition, after nerfs cut back on some of their more overpowered core abilities. The same concept is channelled into the Hernkyn Pioneers: these guys are all equipped in big coats that act in a similar manner – billowing out behind them as the vehicle pushes forwards.So if you aren’t playing as the Greater Thurian League and just want to have a cool Kâhl to lead your army…you can build him however you want. The first wave of Kin includes Ûthar the Destined – who you can also build as a Kâhl – a formidable Einhyr Champion, three nippy Hernkyn Pioneers, and 20 Hearthkyn Warriors who can be taken as two squads of 10 to fill out a Patrol Detachment. It’s as if the Leagues of Votann have seen a Space Marine Dreadnought and said “Aye, tha’s a great idea ‘n all, but let’s do it without the creepy ‘alf dead fella inside it.

Rogue Trader took every trope from Warhammer Fantasy Battles and launched it all into the far future. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints. The Leagues have their own almost raypunk-style look that couldn’t be more removed from the steampunk-inspired Kharadon. If you aren’t able to net yourself one of the boxes, you’re going to have to wait for the individual units and figures to receive their own releases. As for the box set itself, it really is truly spectacular, with wonderful packaging and the entire hardcover Codex packaged within.

You’ve got 2 HQ options, up to 2 Troops (if you split the Hearthkyn into two units) and a Fast Attack option with the Hernkyn Pioneers. Watch out for this being used on big blobs of Einhyr Hearthguard, with their dual-wielding plasma guns and shoulder-mounted grenade launchers; the resulting retaliatory barrage can be devastating. Cthonian Beserks wield high-tech mining equipment like heavy plasma axes and concussion mauls, which they use to destructive effect in close combat. Long-lived, the oldest squats developed a psychic connection with the spirits of their forebears, becoming wise and puissant Ancestor Lords. The release of Necromunda Ash Wastes introduced the use of vehicles to the game, and I love this new design for the Goliath gang.
