With furious bravery, the Battlesmiths keep their sacred icons aloft, rallying their warrior kin with the image of their grim-faced god. As they fight, the Battlesmiths recite the histories of the lodge, inspiring nearby Fyreslayers.

Battlefield Role: Leader
A Battlesmith is a single model armed with an Ancestral Battle-axe and Fyresteel Throwing Axes.
Icon of Grimnir: The Battlesmith raises his icon of Grimnir and recounts tales of past glories, inspiring his allies and setting their ur-gold runes ablaze so that they might fight till the bitter end.
In your
hero phase, you can say that this model is raising its icon of Grimnir. If it does so, add 1 to
save rolls for attacks that target friendly
FYRESLAYERS units wholly within 12" of this model until the start of your next hero phase. However, if you do so, until the start of your next hero phase, friendly FYRESLAYERS units wholly within 12" of this model cannot
retreat. A unit cannot benefit from this ability more than once per phase.
None Shall Defile the Icon: The holy icon of Grimnir is one of the strongest connections the Fyreslayers have to their absent god, and they will not see it lost.
If this model is slain, before it is removed from play, friendly
FYRESLAYERS units wholly within 12" of this model can swear to protect the fallen icon. If a unit does so, that unit cannot make
normal moves and
charge moves for the rest of the battle, but you can re-roll
hit and wound rolls for attacks made with
melee weapons by that unit.
