Rules Adaptations


Army Rule

Eternal Resentment

The Kin are slow to anger, but their enmity, once earned, is eternal. Kin war-leaders will go to almost any length to destroy the targets of their ire and will not stop until every last one of their foes has been punished.

Units from your army with the Eye of the Ancestors ability retain that ability and gain this one.

At the start of the first battle round, select one enemy unit on the battlefield. That unit gains 1 Judgement token. In addition, each time an enemy unit with 1 or more Judgement tokens is destroyed, you can place 1 Judgement token on an enemy unit that is visible to one or more LEAGUES OF VOTANN models from your army.

Detachment Rule

Stalwart Advance

The Kin proceed with steadfast determination, exterminating all resistance and securing decks one at a time. Aggressively yet methodically, resistance is swept aside.

In your Shooting phase, each time a LEAGUES OF VOTANN unit from your army has shot, if one or more enemy units were destroyed by those attacks and that LEAGUES OF VOTANN unit is not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units, it can make a Normal move of up to 3" and can then attempt to operate a Hatchway.

CORRIDOR COVERED
1CP
Void Salvagers – Battle Tactic Stratagem

EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes an attack while firing Overwatch, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ is required to score a hit, instead of an unmodified 6.

Masterful Construction

The weapons utilised by the Kin are wrought by expert craftsmen and are as versatile as they are deadly.

Each time the bearer is selected to shoot or fight, you can select one of the following weapon abilities: [DEVASTATING WOUNDS]; [LETHAL HITS]; [SUSTAINED HITS 1]. Until the end of the phase, weapons equipped by the bearer (excluding Psychic weapons) have that ability.
Obsessive Drive

The bearer seeks a specific item that lies in the hands of the foe and they will not rest until it has been secured. Those foes foolish enough to block the path are targeted for priority destruction.

At the start of the first battle round, select one objective marker. While the bearer is on the battlefield, each time a LEAGUES OF VOTANN unit from your army is selected to shoot or fight, each enemy unit within range of that objective marker is considered to have 1 additional Judgement token while resolving those attacks.

Wrought in Wrath

Add 1 to Advance and Charge rolls made for LEAGUES OF VOTANN units from your army.

Stratagems

WEAVEFIELD FLARE

EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, ranged weapons equipped by models in your unit have the [IGNORES COVER] ability and each time a model in your unit makes an attack with a weapon, you can ignore any or all modifiers to that attack’s or that weapon’s Ballistic Skill characteristic and any or all modifiers to the Hit roll.
ECONOMY OF AGGRESSION
1CP
Hearthfire Strike – Battle Tactic Stratagem
A few grenades placed with care and skill reap greater returns in bloodshed than a wealth of recklessly hurled materiel.
WHEN: Your Shooting phase.

EFFECT: Select one enemy unit that is visible to your unit and wholly on the opposite side of a Hatchway from it.

GRAVITRONIC PULSE
1CP
Hearthfire Strike – Battle Tactic Stratagem

Celebrated Folk Hero

The exploits of this Einhyr Champion have fuelled many a Bru-fuelled celebration, and the Hearthguard compete to fight at their side. To see them laid low fires the wrath of their comrades.

The first time the bearer is destroyed, each enemy unit on the battlefield gains 1 Judgement token.
Gûlyk’s Stars

A set of mass driver accelerators crafted by the master Brokhyr Gulyk, these potent devices can be worked into an Einhyr Champions exo-armour. Named stars for their ferocious energy output, they propel the wearer forward like an unstoppable battering ram.

Each time the bearer ends a Charge move, select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of it and roll one D6: on a 2-4, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound; on a 5+, that enemy unit suffers 2 mortal wounds. If this results in one or more enemy models being destroyed, you can select one closed Hatchway within 6" of the bearer and open it.
