Oct 7, 2026

Hearthband describes a Leagues of Votann force formed to secure vital sites through swift, mission-focused conquest. The Detachment Rule, Methodical Annihilation, grants rerolls of hit rolls of 1 under defined conditions and improves Armour Penetration for select units. Multiple enhancements are detailed—Bastion Shield, Quake Multigenerator, Ironskein, and High Kâhl—each adding battlefield durability, suppression, or combat resilience. Additional Hearthband battle tactics and strategic ploys outline micro shield generators, coordinated advances, and close-to-foe materialisation fields.

FURY OF THE HEARTH - HEARTHBAND - BATTLE TACTIC STRATAGEM

HEARTHBAND When the Eye of the Ancestors has been cast and the worth of some site or resource deemed vital, the Kin may form a hearthband to ensure its swift conquest. Typically led by one or more of the kindred’s most courageous and strategically cunning Kâhls, such forces are painstakingly forged to complete the precise mission for which they are assembled. Einhyr elites lead the charge, exo‑armoured forms advancing like the Ancestors come to life, contemptuous of the enemy’s pitiful attempts to cut them down with gunfire or stagger their charge. Hand‑picked Hearthkyn support their advance, no mere citizen soldiers but instead the finest warriors of the kinhost assembled for this one crucial mission. Driving inexorably into the teeth of the foe, the hearthband does not stop until their task is complete and the battle is won. DETACHMENT RULE METHODICAL ANNIHILATION With their minds entirely focused on the singular mission with which they have been charged, the Kin work to blast a path through the enemy lines with the same tenacity as a Brôkhyr beating metal or a Cthonian miner splitting bedrock. Each time a Leagues of Votann model from your army makes an attack with a weapon (excluding Blast weapons) that targets the closest eligible target or a target that is within Engagement Range of that model’s unit: ■ Re‑roll a Hit roll of 1. ■ If your unit is a Kâhl, Einhyr Hearthguard or Ûthar the Destined unit, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1. ENHANCEMENTS BASTION SHIELD 25 PTS The exceptional technologies contained within this heraldic crest radiate a dome of ablative weavewërke shielding that robs the force from enemy projectiles. Leagues of Votann model only. Each time a ranged attack targets the bearer’s unit, if the attacking model is within 12" of the bearer’s unit, worsen the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1. QUAKE MULTIGENERATOR 15 PTS Extremely rare and costly to manufacture, this darkstar‑powered coil enables a weapon to initiate tremendously powerful reverberations. The resultant shock waves are enough to pitch foes from their feet. Kâhl model only. In your Shooting phase, after the bearer has shot, select one enemy unit (excluding Titanic units) hit by one or more of those attacks. Until the start of your next turn, that enemy unit is suppressed. While a unit is suppressed, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll. IRONSKEIN 10 PTS A rare cloneskein threads this warrior’s bone structure and epidermis with metallic fibres, rendering them remarkably resilient to harm. Leagues of Votann model only. Add 2 to the bearer’s Wounds characteristic. HIGH KÂHL 30 PTS As the foremost martial leader in their kindred, this warrior’s value is only too well known by their comrades. Those Kin sworn to defend them will fight to their last breath rather than fail in this duty. Kâhl model only. Each time a model in the bearer’sunit is destroyed by a melee attack, if it has not fought this phase, roll one D6: on a 4+, do not remove it from play. The destroyed model can fight after the attacking unit has finished making its attacks, and is then removed from play. BRËKKEKNOTS HEARTHBAND – BATTLE TACTIC STRATAGEM These micro shield generators, worked into warrior jewellery or armour crests, trigger on command to provide short‑lived boosted protection. SURE OF PURPOSE HEARTHBAND – STRATEGIC PLOY STRATAGEM The single‑minded advance of the Kin rolls over collapsing enemy lines and exploits every fault and weakness, driving on towards the objective. UNYIELDING AGGRESSION HEARTHBAND– STRATEGIC PLOY STRATAGEM Even should they be compelled to pullback momentarily, the warriors of the Hearthband maintain a punishing curtain of fire to erode the enemy further or rally swiftly and drive back into the fight.
