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. If you spend 1YP, until the end of the phase, if the attacking model is within 18" of the bearer’s unit, worsen the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1 instead.

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’s unit 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.
