– New rules for Gloomspite Gitz, including three suites of allegiance abilities, updated warscrolls, and more

– Six exciting battleplans that chronicle the rise of Kragnos, and rules to play them as a narrative campaign

– Realms of Battle and Streets of Death rules depicting the locations from the story

Without further ado, let’s get into the new hunters.

Galen ven Denst

AoS Witch hunter preview 3This veteran witch hunter has seen hundreds of witches, heretics, and living dead burned at the stake during his illustrious career. Armed with a holy pistol and his trusty rune-etched broadsword, Galen ven Denst can slay the vilest creatures and even banish endless spells with a determined strike from his blessed weapons. He may be long in the tooth but, make no mistake, nothing gets between this grim huntsman and his quarry.

Witch hunter rules 2He is super mobile, tough, and can dispel without a ton of trouble. With 6 attacks he can dish out damage, but then next turn he can fall back, shoot, and then charge again! He also does double damage to a ton of models so overall he’s a really cool flavorful addition.

Doralia ven Denst

AoS Witch hunter preview 4Unlike her father, who prefers to look his prey in the eye as he slays them, Doralia hunts primarily with her enormous crossbow. Its consecrated bolts hit with murderous power, and Doralia is rightly feared for her unerring accuracy with her weapon of choice. 

However, more than one of her would-be killers made the error of thinking she can’t also handle a blade and found themselves disemboweled or bereft of a head.

Witch hunter rulesShe has some similar rules but is much better at shooting. If she stays still and targets a Wizard or Daemon, she will be getting two shots hitting on 2’s, wounding on 3’s doing 4 damage. Not too shabby!
