Fyreslayers – Vulkyn Flameseekers
4" 2 5+ 1 The monster-taming duardin known as Vulkyn Flameseekers will go to great lengths to acquire the progeny of Vulcatrix, the Ur-Salamander that died in battle with Grimnir. They consider Magmadroth eggs of equal importance to ur-gold. According to their creed, parts of Vulcatrix’s spirit exploded across the realms to combine with seven sacred flames known as the vulkazharr. In recovering the vulkazharr and bathing their Magmadroth eggs in this godly essence, the Flameseekers believe they can create creatures infused with Vulcatrix’s power.
It is little surprise that the first practitioners of the Vulkyn creed were duardin of the Lofnir lodge. As denizens of the Realm of Beasts, they understand well the role these behemoths play on the battlefield. They spend more time than any other lodge rearing Magmadroths, often all the way from birth, creating unbreakable bonds between beast and duardin.
Vulkyn Flameseekers seek their prizes with single-minded tenacity. They are marked out by drothscale armour that they believe will imbue them with a portion of the Magmadroths’ power. They are formidable warriors all, hardened from a harsh life in the wilderness, and they carry wicked, shovel-like ‘bokaz’ that serve as both weapons and tools of excavation. | ||

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Anti-X (+1 Rend)
Add 1 to this weapon’s Rend characteristic if the target has the keyword after ‘Anti-’ or fulfils the condition after ‘Anti-’. Multiples of this ability are cumulative. For example, if a weapon has both Anti-charge (+1 Rend) and Anti-HERO (+1 Rend), then add 2 to the Rend characteristic of the weapon for attacks that target a HERO that charged in the same turn.3.3 Reinforced Units

Companion
Unless otherwise specified, this weapon is not affected by friendly abilities that affect weapon characteristics or the attack sequence, except for those that apply negative modifiers to it (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).Crit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.
