Röknauts Revolution
“Behind each bike blasted knotwork treadtrack, and ahead blasted scarlet tracer rounds. Forging together iron wills and iron wheels the Týrstorm rode out to join their fire to Echogeld’s infantry.”
– Hreddi Falsetooth, the Nethyrtruth Edda
The Röknauts’ Saga Continues…
Back in Space Year 2022 you helped to bring the Röknauts alive for the first time, delivering Rökthane Schiltron Toothcutter and his squad of Space Dwarfs to tabletops the world over! Now, racing to his aid are the Týrstorm Biker squadron.
The Röknauts look to you for aid once again, so they can reinforce their battlelines with the awesome new wargear and weapons, on two wheels and on foot.
I’ve got a deep passion for the science fiction concept of squat and indomitable warriors heading out into the stars with an arsenal of hi-tech weapons. I wanted to distill the essence of techno-fantasy metal mysticism into miniature form, and do it with an iconically 1990s twist.
Mini Focus: Týrstorm Biker Rökthane
Týrstorm squadrons are a staple in Röknaut task forces, fulfilling a number of roles from core battleline to special operations and reconnaissance. The Rökthanes that lead the units are selected for their initiative and ability to respond to rapidly evolving combat situations, and to choose appropriate tactics when they’re operating beyond the comms range of the Röknaut battlelines.
Mini Focus: Týrstorm Biker Trooper
Röknaut bikes are manufactured with stocky chasses and low profiles. The main bulk of the vehicle is taken up with heavy-duty knotwork tyres, equally at home on icy mountains and chemical deserts. The front fairing features dual trunnion-mounted wyrmboltrs.
What You Will Get
Pledging to this project (the “Röknauts Revolution” pledge level) will get you a complete squad of three Týrstorm Bikers (one Rökthane and two Troopers) vacuum-cast in high quality resin. Supplied unpainted and unassembled.
You also get access to the Pledge Manager to add additional Röknaut squads.
New Röknaut Infantry Options
The hardcore backers from 2022 didn’t just buy a single squad of Space Dwarf infantry – some bought multiple squads so they could field an entire force of Röknauts on the tabletop. So it only seemed only right to introduce more poses and weapon options to this project. Introducing Rökthane Charnock Echogeld and her Bedrök infantry squad.
Mini Focus: Rökthane Charnock Echogeld
Charnock is armed with an icebreaker frostaxe and customised binar-blaster, with her thorname enscribed on the casing, and clad in diamond flak armour.
Mini Focus: Röknaut Trooper with Wyrmboltr Rifle
Each Röknaut Trooper is a hero in their own right, respected throughout the galaxies as bloody-minded and unyielding in the face of any enemy. Not only are Röknauts experts in combat, but void travel, toxic environs survival and hardware maintenance. Their extreme technical aptitude lets them operate where other forces have been destroyed by mechanical realities – and their adamantine-hard will lets them fight even longer still.
Mini Focus: Röknaut Trooper with Plasmic Destructor
Some veteran Röknauts are armed with the awesome Plasmic Destructor, capable of incinerating entire groups of enemy infantry at once, and reducing all but the heaviest vehicles to molten slag.
More Squads! Add Ons!
If you’re building a whole force of Röknauts, you can add new Bedrök infantry squads, the 2022 Bedrök infantry squads and extra Týrstorm Squadrons to your Pledge as Add Ons.
