Games Workshop - Warhammer - Horus Heresy: Space Wolves: Geigor Fell-Hand

Product Information

This set comprises 12 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly. So ancient and powerful was Bjorn’s spirit that, while he slept in a Dreadnought sarcophagus, he had stood vigil from atop the hexagrammic ramparts of The Fang’s echo in the Warp. Thus Bjorn has become a defender of the Fang and Fenris itself, battling the attempts of Daemons to materialize in the realm of the Wolves. [9] We’ve only just seen the magnificent boxed set for the new edition Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, but that’s just the beginning of your journey through the Age of Darkness. There’s a lot more stuff coming down the pipeline for the 31st Millennium.

Bjorn's heroic career as the first Great Wolf of the Space Wolves was tragically cut short during the Proxima Rebellion in 934.M31. Bjorn led a successful raid to free those of his battle-brothers trapped within the notorious Dreadsun Fortress, but his body sustained such terrible injuries that, to preserve his life, what was left of his shattered body was interred in a Dreadnought. Acutely aware that, as a Dreadnought, he could no longer fulfil his duties as master of the Chapter, Bjorn abdicated his position as Great Wolf. Shortly after his internment in a Dreadnought chassis, the Chapter's Iron Priests fashioned a unique Wolf Claw sized to match his massive chassis in honour of his favoured weapon in his former life. Bjorn wields this mighty weapon, known as Trueclaw, as deftly as ever, ensuring that he continues to live up to his name. It is much more devastating than the weapon he bore as a living Astartes, and is additionally equipped with a built-in Heavy Flamer that allows Bjorn to carbonize anything escaping his claw's attentions. Bjorn the Fell-Handed as a Mark V Venerable Dreadnought during the Battle of The Fang on Fenris in M32 from the Thousand Sons Traitor Legion.To the Space Wolves, Bjorn represents the Chapter's greatest link to the past. He is revered as a hero almost as great as Leman Russ, and his words are to his living brethren akin to law, for he is the only one amongst them who can still judge a situation by their primarch's own standards. In this, Bjorn also functions as the Space Wolves' moral compass, and even the stubbornness incarnate that is Logan Grimnar, the current Great Wolf, listens and defers to Bjorn's ancient wisdom when "The Eldest" speaks against him. When he was still counted amongst the living, Bjorn was outfitted as befitted a member of Leman Russ' retinue of Wolf Guard: garbed in a mighty suit of Artificer Armour, one hand a master-crafted Wolf Claw which he always wielded with tremendous skill, and in his other he bore a bolter modified with a pistol grip, allowing him to fire the weapon one-handed. Bjorn's Wolf Claw was not so much a weapon as a replacement for his lost organic hand, for the Iron Priests had refused his request for an augmetic replacement. As such, he had stolen the Wolf Claw and chose to use it as an appendage and weapon alike. Ten thousand Terran years ago, before his internment within the armoured sarcophagus of a Dreadnought, Bjorn fought alongside Primarch Leman Russ of the Space Wolves Legion during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy and saw the Emperor Himself before He was interred within the mechanisms of the Golden Throne. Bjorn was a member of the Vlyka Fenryka (Wolves of Fenris)'s Tra (3 rd) Great Company where he served under the command of Jarl Ogvai Ogvai Helmschrot. The stern, taciturn warrior saw combat in many theatres of the Crusade, including the Olamic Quietude Campaign and the Battle of Prospero, during which he served as the (rather unwilling) guardian of the Remembrancer Kasper Hawser to atone for his mistake of wrongfully shooting the man's shuttle out of the sky during the Remembrancer's initial arrival on Fenris.

Rune Priest ( Primaris Rune Priest) • Wolf Priest ( Primaris Wolf Priest) • Iron Priest ( Primaris Iron Priest) Guilliman drops to 6th place, with Leman Russ hot on his heels after climbing from 18th last month. The usual suspects of Tarvitz, Kharn and Curze round off the last of the top ten positions. Nassir Amit, Kroeger and Wyrdmake make their first appearances in the top 20 at Low Terra. Even after ten millennia, Bjorn still feels the pain of rejection by his primarch as keenly as he did on that fateful day. Those who are the eldest amongst the Space Wolves believe that the only thing that could grant "The Revered One" his peace of mind again is the return of Leman Russ, and the occasion to fight alongside his primarch one last time in defence of Humanity. The new Codex: Chaos Space Marines is bursting with evil , covering all the rules you need to let the galaxy burn. Included are eight subfactions, plus datasheets for 44 units, as well as Relics, Stratagems, Crusade rules, prayers, psychic powers, Marks of Chaos, and other vile articles of blasphemy. Geigor Fell-hand and Azhek Ahriman were both originally available in the Burning of Prospero boxed set, but this is the first time their models will be available separately – and both heroes will have rules in their respective Liber Astartes books.

However, Bjorn's most potent weapon is neither his Lightning Claw nor his tactical acumen, but his legend. To be in Bjorn's presence is to the Space Wolves akin to being in Leman Russ' presence by proxy, spurning them on to commit acts of courage so foolhardy that even their "usual" acts of near-suicidal bravery seems only like child's play in comparison. Outside the Chapter, he is scarcely less revered, as a legendary warrior and a link to the distant past when the Emperor walked among his people. Even Inquisitor Lord Ghesmei Kysnaros, and Hyperion of the Grey Knights felt compelled to kneel before the ancient Dreadnought when they learned his identity - a gesture which Bjorn found exasperating.

Everguild Ltd. is an independent game studio operating from the UK and Spain, committed to making deep and polished games with a never-seen-before twist. Everguild is pushing the boundaries of the CCG genre on mobile, with its acclaimed first title, ‘Drakenlords: CCG Card Duels’, and the more recent ‘The Horus Heresy: Legions’, based on Games Workshop®’s renowned setting, The Horus Heresy®. More information about Everguild can be found at everguild.com/press Another set of differing accounts center around when Bjorn was promoted into Russ's Einherjar: Multiple accounts state it was after slaying the Demon King Arvax [12] [6], presumably before the Horus Heresy. Yet another account is given that Russ elevated Bjorn to his Einherjar after the Battle of the Alaxxes Nebula, though neither really knew why save for the fact that Bjorn's wyrd (or fate) would be important in the future. [11a] A fourth account posits that in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy, Bjorn sought to rebuild the Imperium with such conviction that Leman Russ elevated him to his personal retinue. [2] See also Related Articles This deed left Bjorn harbouring intense feelings of rejection and bitterness to this very day, for the taciturn primarch did not explain his decision to the young warrior, and what was meant to be high praise and honour left Bjorn instead feeling that he had been punished by his primarch for some flaw of which he was unaware. Bjorn has never explained why he was left behind in this manner; it is not certain if he even knows himself, but the primarch was never one to act idly. To Bjorn's continued frustration, it was to be five long standard years before word of Arvax's location surfaced once more. Russ immediately led his Space Wolves to destroy the foul creature, determined to personally slay the Daemon king himself and avenge those who had died during their last encounter. Yet in this goal, the primarch was to be denied, for Bjorn too sought out his nemesis and, as fate would have it, was the first to face Arvax in battle.

As the Wolf-King tore through the Khornate horde towards his quarry, he witnessed Bjorn's duel first-hand. Russ could only look on in pride as Bjorn deftly rolled beneath a blow attempting to cut him in half, then clambered up the Daemon's towering frame to tear out the Arch-slaughterer's throat with his trusty Wolf Claw. In the aftermath of the battle, Russ came to Bjorn in person and exonerated him in front of the entire Legion, holding his oath fulfilled. The Liber Hereticus contains rules for all nine Traitor Legions, including Rites of War, Primarchs, Legion-specific units and wargear. If you’re of a more Loyalist bent, the Liber Astartes contains the same for the nine Loyalist Legions.

Geigor Fell-Hand was a Thegn of Dekk-Tra, the 13th Great Company of the Space Wolves Legion. [2] Impetuous and proud, [5] he was known for his fury and hatred of sorcery. [1] Biography At High Terra, Sevatar wasn’t able to fend off the assault of the Space Wolf, and dropped to 2nd, with Geigor hitting an incredible 14% use rate. Questoris Ærthegn drops from 2nd place last month to 10th, with Corax, Rhy’tan and Raum filling in the last 3 spots in the top 5. Kharn holds steady at 6th, with Santar ascending from 20th to 7th, and Kroeger moving up 4 spaces to 8th. Lucius remains at 9th, with the Knight capping off 10th.

A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here. Although he rarely complains, Bjorn finds the decorations and embellishments with which his brothers have decorated his sarcophagus an annoyance and a lie, for he is convinced that Leman Russ left him behind for some failing on his part, and that he is as such unworthy of the reverence in which he is held. Yet, he is canny enough to understand his value as a role model to his younger brethren, and thus only voices his opinion in private to the other Dreadnoughts beneath The Fang.

Likewise, the MKVI-armoured Space Marines first available in the Age of Darkness set are also now available separately. You get 20 highly posable plastic Astartes armed with bolters and grenades, plus optional bayonets or chain-bayonets. There are also parts to build up to two Sergeants armed with various pistols and close combat weapons, as well as troops equipped with wargear like the nuncio-vox, a Legion vexilla, and augury scanner.

He is also awakened at the dawn of each new century to hold court at the Great Feast, where he recounts elements from his own saga to his battle-brothers. He represents the Chapter's link to the past, and is revered by the Space Wolves as a hero almost as much as Leman Russ. [2]
