Fyreslayers – Vulkite Berzerkers with Bladed Slingshields
4" 2 5+ 1 At the fore of the Fyreslayer fyrds come the Vulkite Berzerkers, doughty warriors that form the heart of their army. Wielding fyresteel axes and war-picks, they hurl themselves into the thick of combat, roaring and laughing as they hew their enemies apart. Even when they are riddled with arrows and bleeding from half a dozen grievous wounds, the Vulkite Berzerkers will fight on, the light of Grimnir in their eyes and wide smiles upon their blood-spattered faces.
The secret to these warriors’ terrifying resilience and battle-rage comes from the ur-gold runes that are ritually embedded in their flesh. These allow each Berzerker to channel the fury of Grimnir himself, augmenting the duardin’s physical prowess and resolve. When the latent power within these runes is fuelled by the rites of the Zharrgrim priests, the bearer’s martial skill reaches near supernatural levels.
Many Vulkite Berzerkers wield weapons in each hand, the better to overwhelm their foes with a flurry of attacks. Others choose to bear war picks and bladed slingshields, the latter of which can be hurled as deadly missiles to catch unwary foes off guard. | ||
