Hersir & Tattooist [DECEMBER PRE-ORDER]

This pack includes two frontline and support characters for the Northern Tribes: the Hersir, an aggressive and resilient close-combat fighter, and the Tattooist, a field medic  dedicated to healing wounds and cleansing status effects.

Hersir

The Hersir is an elite Varank melee specialist focused on close-quarters  combat and enemy attrition. She serves as a berserker leader seeking direct  engagement, punishing rivals with Disarmed and bypassing enemy Blocks.  

• Berserk Fury and Storkrige Tattoo: Allows modifying dice rolls by adding  chosen symbols, providing steady damage and disarming foes both when  attacking and defending.  

• Not One Step Back: Once per game, automatically passes a failed WIL test  to maintain momentum.  

• Infantry synergy: When joining Varank infantry, she boosts their profile  and shields allied troops.  

• On the table: Features 3 Wounds, blue defense dice, and the ability to  spend Stress to enhance either attack or defense. For 25 points, she  delivers reliable damage, status control, and frontline resilience.  

Tattooist

The Tattooist is a medical support character that keeps allied units fighting  by removing debuffs and restoring lost health. She is fragile and should  remain clear of direct combat. 

• Herbs and Ointments: Affects all friendly units within 12 paces in Line of  Sight (LoS). Removes selected status effects (Disarmed, Slowed, or  Vulnerable) and heals 1 Wound. A WIL test allows healing 1 additional  Wound per Special rolled.  

• Whale Bone Needle: Grants full immunity to Disarmed, Slowed, and  Vulnerable.  

• Medicinal Tattoos: Offers a chance to ignore 1 point of incoming damage. 

• On the table: For just 15 points, she provides area healing and ongoing  support for army lists built around attrition and sustained pressure.
