The Kin are pragmatic miners, traders, and warriors bound by ancient Votann (ancestral core-intelligences). Their armies favor sturdy armor, efficient weapons, and coordinated firepower, rewarding players who value reliability and board control over reckless charges.

Core units include Hearthkyn Warriors for objective holding, Hernkyn Pioneers for mobility, and Brokhyr Thunderkyn for heavy support. Einhyr Hearthguard act as elite shock troops, while vehicles like the Hekaton Land Fortress and Sagitaur deliver durability and firepower.

Expect patient, methodical pressure. Votann lists shine at mid‑board trading and objective play, layering accurate shooting with strong defenses. They reward good positioning, focus fire, and careful target priority more than all‑in melee plans.

The Kahl is a reliable force leader; the Brokhyr Iron‑master repairs vehicles and boosts Brokhyr units; the Grimnyr brings psychic/ancestral support; and the Einhyr Champion adds a hard‑hitting melee threat to elite squads.

Yes—if you like elite armies with fewer, tougher models. The faction’s resilience and consistent shooting make them forgiving, while list building remains straightforward: hold ground, trade efficiently, and let superior tech do the work.

Armored panels love crisp edge highlights and weathering; lenses and screens pop with bright spot colors. Consider sub‑assemblies for exo‑armor and vehicles, and magnetize weapon options on Thunderkyn, Hearthguard, and the Hekaton for flexibility.

Popular league themes include industrial miners, frontier pioneers, and elite bodyguard contingents. You can echo well‑known Leagues through color schemes and unit choices, or create your own Kinhold with custom heraldry and narrative.
