Warhammer 40K: A Trio Of ‘Trikes’ – Leagues of Votann Hernkyn Pioneers
Games Workshop is giving us an even closer look at the Leagues of Votann Hernkyn Pioneers with a new look at the updated “Trike” redesign.
Our first look at the Hernkyn Pioneers was during Warhammer Fest earlier this year. But get ready for an even better look as we’ve got a trio of them from GW to show off.
Leagues of Votann “Trikes” – The Hernkyn Pioneers
“Armed to the teeth with practical, yet high-tech weaponry, the Leagues dispatch Oathbands and Prospects to roam the galaxy seeking out fresh resources and mounting aggressive defense of their Holds. Roving before these expeditions are the Hernkyn Pioneers – hardy outriders dispatched for days or weeks at a time to scout ahead of the main force.”
From the looks of the unit above you can see some of the various weapon options we’re getting. Furthermore, we also get a better look at their clothing and armor. They are riding magna-coil bikes which are different anti-grav tech than say the Aeldari. It’s a little more chunky and tough looking — all apart of the Leagues of Votann’s style.
” “Their magna-coil bikes are fast and manoeuvrable, even over the most difficult terrain or bodies of water, which might confound more conventional bikes with wheels. What’s more, they have some seriously big guns, and with their multiwave comms arrays and pan-spectral scanners they have all the supporting tech needed to operate as intelligence gathering assets.” “
These new “trikes” are looking pretty cool! I’m glad we’re getting a full look at a unit of three. Again, you can see that these vehicles are packing a LOT of firepower. Ideally, the Hernkyn Pioneers will play more of an armored cavalry unit in the Leagues of Votann that some of the other Biker-type units from other armies. It’s going to be interesting to see how that shakes out.
What do you think of these fancy new “trikes” of the Leagues of Votann?
