A great battle still lay before the Greater Thurian League and Ûthar the Destined would be needed elsewhere. the Destined - Ûthar is one of the greatest heroes of the Greater Thurian League, a kâhl who was chosen by the Votann to wield the sacred Blade of the Ancestors. He recently took command of the Thurian forces deployed by his home Kindred of Vôrtun battling the servants of Chaos during the Battle of Örgvayr.

This is kind of insane as it has all the weapons, is super tanky (puns!), and can even transport units! The Magna-Rail Cannon is insane because even though it’s one shot, it can transfer leftover wounds to other models. As you’ll soon discover, your Einhyr Hearthguard shrug off damage during even the worst of times. The combination of their Exo-armour ability and the faction-wide Void Armour will see to their safety.Games Workshopspent much of Summer 2022 previewingshiny new Leagues of Votann models–starting in April, when it first announced the new faction was on the way, through to November, when the Votann’s standalone model kits started rolling out into stores. One combo you’ll find especially brutal is to equip your Cthonian Beserks with concussion mauls. These massive hammers may be hard to swing, but when they hit home, they more than make up for it. But we’re not quite giving the Leagues of Votann Army Set the full 5 stars. Whilst it’s a really lovely product, it’s not quite perfect.

Crucially, the aura’s 6″ range can be hugely extended with the wonders of Kin science. Your units of Hearthkyn Warriors and Hernkyn Pioneers can all be upgraded with Multiwave Comms Arrays , enabling your Kâhl to guide them from up to 24″ away. 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 panel In 10th edition, enemy units will only gain a Judgment token when they destroy a Votann unit – that’s a lot more miserly than in 9th edition, when tokens were handed out like party treats. The effect of the tokens is also restricted. Votann units get +1 to hit enemy units with one Judgment token, and an additional +1 to wound targets with two tokens. Those are great buffs, but compared to 9th edition, when enough Judgment tokens turned half of your hits into automatic wounds, they’re not so impressive.

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.

Blade of the Ancestors ( Plasma Sword) - The Blade of the Ancestors is a legendary relic Plasma Blade wielded by one of the Greater Thurian League's greatest heroes, Kâhl Ûthar the Destined. Along with the relic Ancestral Warding Stave known as the Murmuring Stave, it is said to be one of only two weapons ever fashioned through immaculate forging by the Votann themselves, though prophecy speaks of a third still to be wrought. Each time an enemy unit successfully completes an action or a psychic action, it gains 1 Judgement token. 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.

By a stroke of good fortune, Ûthar the Destined had recently returned to Obsyd Gate, the hold of his own Kindred of Vôrtun. Ever the dynamic hero of his people, Ûthar convinced the Kindred of Vôrtun Hearthspake that they could not afford to simply mass behind their defences and await the enemies' onslaught. To do so handed all strategic initiative and opportunity to the invaders and would abandon outlying facilities, resources and personnel to their murderous attentions. Think Hammerhead mixed with a Land Raider, so expect plenty of power from this. The top weapon is also basically a railgun equivalent (ignores invulnerable saves) and can wipe out squads simultaneously. To manifest the psychic power, you must first pass a Psychic test. The opposing player can then select one of their PSYKER units that is within 24" of the PSYKER unit attempting to manifest the power and attempt to deny that power before its effects are resolved by passing a Deny the Witch test. The waterslide transfers that GW produce are, unfortunately, a pale imitation of their (considerably more expensive and not included in the box with your miniatures) Forge World transfer sheets. They are far more fragile and thus prone to tearing or being damaged during application.

The Grimnyr will be the Leagues of Votann psyker and has a second head option from the looks of it, as well as a female option for the kit. They are also the closest thing the Leagues have to priests, so they can also buff units around them. Hekaton Land Fortress The Iron Master is sort of like a Techmarine, and only the Ironkin model to the right is a thinking being. The other floating models are like servitors and will help him repair vehicles. Grimnyr I’m a big fan of dwarves in fantasy settings, so seeing them arrive in the 41st Milennium in such style is super exciting. However, it hasn’t gone unnoticed that very, very, very few of them have assembled him with his unhelmeted head. And there’s good reason for this. Squats have been in stasis for quite some time. Originally a part of the very first edition of Warhammer 40,000 – then called Rogue Trader – and a fan favourite in the second edition, Squats were confined to the dark corridors of hobby history with the advent of Warhammer 40,000’s third edition in the October of 1998.

The Hekaton Land Fortress is the biggest model in the line and will have plenty of firepower. They also mention how durable it will be, while also being a transport. Crimson Gulf (Hold World) - Crimson Gulf is situated in the central region of Thurian space and is a major trade hub for the Leagues. Crimson Gulf is famed among the Kin alongside its fellow Thurian Hold World of Ûrvymm's Bulwark for its sheer size and nearly impenetrable defences. Chosen for command and drilled for war from birth, Ûthar the Destined has trained his entire life to lead the Greater Thurian League to victory. He’s both an indomitable fighter and masterful commander, squeezing every ounce of potential from his soldiers while carving up his foes with the Blade of the Ancestors.
