Product Information

Each time an enemy unit successfully completes an action or a psychic action, it gains 1 Judgement token.

For Slayers, the only stricture of the cult is that all must engage in any combat where the chances of honourable death are favourable, especially against unfavourable odds. Any cowardice in the face of such combat further dishonours and disgraces the Slayer. [1a] Odin ( Old Norse Óðinn) is a widely attested god in Germanic mythology. The god is referred to by numerous names and kenningar, particularly in the Old Norse record. This version is based on an older English translation that has been adapted slightly for a modern-day reader. Most, if not all, of the old English words and phrases, are changed as well as updating some sentence structures. When unsure of a particular meaning or spelling, I have consulted a more modern translation in Norwegian. Grímnismál Interface Echoes - The Grimnyr draws empyrically-archived Votannic wisdom from within ward-tech augmetic neural buffers implanted within their own minds, and uses it to inform their comrades' battle plans.

Interpolations in such a poem as the Grimnismol could have been made easily enough, and many stanzas have undoubtedly crept in from other poems, but the beginning and end of the poem are clearly marked, and presumably it has come down to us with the same essential outline it had when it was composed, probably in the first half of the tenth century.

Grím seems to be a variant of "Grímnir", which means "masked person". A very apt name for Odin. The closest English equivalent is "grimace", while "grim" (similar meaning in old Norse and modern English) seems to be distantly related, and only appears as a byname of Odin, "Asagrim", in a medieval Swedish ballad. (Note the difference between "Grím" and "Grim"). Ull and the other gods will smile on the first man to reach into these flames. They could all look through the vent, and see my plight, if someone would move that cauldron aside. Whilst resting after this task another evil befell the Duardin gods. Exactly what happened in the event known as the Thagduegi, the Great Betrayal, is unknown but the Duardin pantheon broke apart. [5] The other names where "Grím" is a part are likely just names (in particular, "Thorgrim" already has the name of one God as a part, and would not seem to need another one). Note that it's actually "Skalla-Grím", 'bald Grím'. Sources Ancestral Wrath - Channelling the grim hatred that all Kin believe the Ancestors hold for their foes, the Grimnyr transmutes it into furious destructive energies. White fire leaps from their eyes, their fingertips and their open mouth, blasting the foe to scattered ashes.

Cthonian Beserks

themselves appear to have lived in oral prose tradition, just as in the case of the sagas; and the prose notes of the manuscripts, in so far as they contain material not simply drawn from the poems themselves, are relics of this tradition. The early Norse poets rarely conceived verse as a suitable means for direct story telling, and in some of the poems even the simplest action is told in prose "links" between dialogue stanzas. A Grimnyr of the Greater Thurian League wielding an Ancestral Warding Stave and outfitted with an Ancestral Warding Crest so that they might unleash the powers of the Empyrean. Duration: Indefinite "Veil" is an unofficial name used by the wiki for this status effect. Its actual in-game name is "Immune.", and Dispel Cancel (1 time) Effects that remove buffs will be nullified (1 time) This year’s Warhammer Day miniature is an Einhyr Champion, representing the way decades old Warhammer lore has been reinterpreted by this brand new range of miniatures.

Grudgepyre - Harnessing the Kin's gestalt hatred for a begrudged foe, the Grimnyr engulfs the victim in a pillar of flame that scours them from existence.

The meaning is disputed according to Lindow but Larrington gives the translation "Sage" in the Poetic Edda. When you select a PSYKER unit to manifest psychic powers, you select one psychic power that unit knows and attempt to manifest it. With the exception of Smite, you cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in the same battle round, even with different PSYKER units. The same PSYKER unit cannot attempt to manifest Smite more than once during the same battle round. Himinbjorg ("Heaven's Cliffs"): the dwelling at the end of the bridge Bifrost (the rainbow), where Heimdall (cf. Voluspo, 27) keeps watch against the coming of the giants. In this stanza the two functions of Heimdall--as father of mankind (cf. Voluspo, 1 and note, and Rigsthula, introductory prose and note) and as warder of the gods--seem both to be mentioned, but the second line in the manuscripts is apparently in bad shape, and in the editions is more or less conjectural. The Cthonian Beserks reveal the ace up their metaphorical sleeve with the mole grenade launcher. This repurposed mining equipment delivers subterranean explosives into the midst of enemy units, even if they’re cowering out of sight.

The Ballad of Grimnir

Shifting from prose to poetry for Odin-as-Grímnir's monologue, Grímnir describes at great length the cosmogony of the worlds, the dwelling places of its inhabitants, and himself and his many guises.
