To lean into the slightly Nordic aesthetic, I wanted to do some runes/patterns on the shoulders. I based these in Morghast Bone, before going over with Wraithbone, and then tidying up with Mephiston Red.

Build wise this is a fine little kit, nothing particularly dramatic stays in my memory as being a issue. The sprue is crisp and new, so nothing will be too bad in the way of mold lines, and the pieces go together about how you would expect. Right, let’s talk combos! This is probably the best spot to chat about our best enhancements, and how you can utilise them in combination with some of the key stratagems.Basing is some straightforward Astrogranite washed with Agrax, and some alien tufts from Gamers Grass to add some xenoflora.

If your Einhyr Champion carries a darkstar axe or mass hammer, give it attention. Use shades like Mournfang Brown or metallic colors to paint the weapon. Add subtle highlights to the edges to emphasize the texture and shape. GW first announced the return of Squats as a brand new 40k armyonApril 1, 2022 in an apparent April Fool’s joke. But, in a magnificent double bluff,it revealed the following day that it was all real after all, the space dwarfs were returning to the game – and so we met the Leagues of Votann. 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. Kahl: B Tier: His unit buff is good, as is his ability to throw a Judgment token on something. The issue is, he can't lead anything that particularly wants his buff (it's not super worthwhile on Warriors and it's potentially counter-synergistic on Hearthguard with the volkanite guns, as Lethal Hits don't do dev wounds). Probably worth taking one with an enhancement of some kind, though. Between these solid showings and the rumor engine teaser for more love coming our way for sure, it is a good time to be playing Votann, seems like.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. I started with a compact, elite force of Hearthkyn Warriors , Einhyr Hearthguard , and an Einhyr Champion – and in all honesty, it was too small. Even with my Hearthkyn splitting into two boarding squads, I only had four units on the board – too few to capture objectives and meaningfully engage the enemy.

It’s called the Ancestors’ Wrath, an exclusive Leagues of Votann model, featuring detailed craftsmanship and customizable heads. Einhyr Champion Datasheets What’s in the Einhyr Champion box
