Berehk Stornbröw: The Leagues of Votann’s Ork-Slaying Specialist
The galaxy is rife with conflict, and lately, much attention has been focused on space pirates, particularly with the release of The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant and the renewed raids of Huron Blackheart. Although, some have long held a grudge against the galaxy’s raiders and reavers. Berehk Stornbröw, a champion of the Cthonian Beserks, is one such individual, and he harbors a particular disdain for Ork Freebooterz.
A History of Battles Against the Freebooterz
Stornbröw has clashed with Ork Freebooterz hundreds of times, gaining extensive experience on the battlefield. This experience has transformed him into a formidable opponent. He lost his original arms in a duel with a Kaptin, fueling his lasting animosity.
Unique Abilities and Weaponry
Despite his lack of imposing stature, Berehk Stornbröw possesses remarkable strength and durability. His cloneskein has blessed his skin with a craggy layer capable of deflecting blades and bullets. This is particularly advantageous considering the light armor typically worn by the Kin of the Cthonian mining guilds. A “Experience No Pain 4+” ability ensures his survival through numerous engagements.
His signature weapon, Kromlôk’s Revenge, is a unique combination of Votann plasma blade and mass driver technologies. This allows him to effectively engage both large numbers of weaker enemies and larger, more resilient foes. The weapon’s graviton strikes mode is capable of creating significant damage, even breaching battle tanks.
Synergies with the Cthonian Beserks
Unlike some units, Berehk Stornbröw can integrate directly into a unit, bolstering their fighting spirit. When leading Cthonian Beserks, he grants them the “Sustained Hits 1” ability, leading to increased carnage. Their concussion mauls too feature “Anti-Monster 3+” and “Anti-Vehicle 3+” rules, making them particularly dangerous to larger opponents.
Stornbröw’s ability to perform a Heroic Intervention for free can deter enemies from targeting nearby comrades. A Sagitaur transport is recommended for quickly deploying him to critical areas of the battlefield.
Comparing Stornbröw to Other Newcomers
The arrival of new combatants, such as a new Tyranid Prime, prompts a comparison of their capabilities. The question remains: who is the more effective fighter, Berehk Stornbröw or the Twin Lance?
