Build your own elite Eisenkern Valkir Heavy Troopers with this new kit from Wargames Atlantic, packed with customization, bits, and firepower to dominate your tabletop battles!
War is messy, but the Valkir Heavy Troopers bring an order to the chaos that’s as awe-inspiring as it is terrifying. These aren’t just soldiers—they’re walking legends, forged through ritual, sacrifice, and enough firepower to make entire armies think twice.
Whether you’re new to the Iron-Core universe or you’ve been following the Eisenkern’s war-torn saga since day one, there’s something undeniably captivating about these elite warriors. Maybe it’s the ceremonial edge to their brutality or the sheer modular goodness of the kit itself.
Brothers and Sisters in War: A Detailed Look at the Valkir Heavy Troopers
The Valkir Heavy Troopers aren’t just warriors—they’re the physical embodiment of the Eisenkern’s martial legacy, standing as monuments to discipline, ritual, and raw destructive power. These soldiers are elite for good reason, and the lore and design of this kit tell a story that resonates with grit and gravitas. Let’s walk through what makes them so captivating, one element at a time.
Valkir Heavy Troopers $39.95
This hard plastic set offers 12 imposing Valkir warriors, but the customization is where it truly shines. You’re not locked into a single pose or look, and that versatility allows you to craft a force that reflects your personal taste—or tactical needs.
The legs themselves provide multiple configurations. Add cloth tabards for that battle-worn veteran vibe, or strip them off for a no-nonsense, stripped-down aesthetic. The side tassets and pouches add further layers of practicality and detail, letting you build troopers who look like they’ve been in the thick of combat for years—or moments.
These modular choices mean every squad can feel unique without deviating from the regimented look that defines the Eisenkern.
The Helmets: Trooper, Commander, and Sturmhelm
Nothing says “elite warrior” like the right helmet, and the Valkir don’t disappoint. The standard trooper helmet radiates function and menace—a perfect reflection of the rank-and-file’s relentless efficiency. The commander helmet stands out, signaling authority without being ostentatious.
And then there’s the Sturmhelm: a faceplate designed for those who lead charges into hell itself. This design screams durability, protection, and unshakable resolve.
Weapons That Redefine “Heavy Duty”
The arsenal available in this kit ensures your Valkir are prepared for any battlefield scenario. The heavy assault rifles and anti-materiel rifles dominate in ranged engagements, showcasing the Eisenkern’s belief in overwhelming firepower. Each weapon has been sculpted with care, exuding heft and lethality.
For those who prefer close-quarters brutality, there’s the flame thrower—a weapon as terrifying as it is practical for clearing out fortifications. Meanwhile, the grenade launcher offers an explosive solution to clustered enemies. The pistol and power sword combination is where things get really interesting: it captures the duality of the Valkir as both futuristic soldiers and almost mythic warriors.
The Iron-Core Universe: A Legacy Revived
The Valkir’s design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a loving homage to the Iron-Core universe created by Mark Mondragon. This collaboration breathes life into a setting steeped in conflict and lore, where the Eisenkern stand as paragons of discipline against chaos and ruin. That rich backdrop informs every element of the Valkir Heavy Troopers, from their grim induction rites to their battlefield tactics.
Assembly, Painting, and Personal Flair
While these models require assembly, that’s half the fun. Each piece feels purposeful, and the sheer range of options invites hobbyists to get creative. Painting them brings their grim narrative to life; whether you choose muted tones to reflect a utilitarian war machine or splash in bright accents to signify high-ranking units, these figures provide a canvas worthy of your skills.
Final Thoughts on the New Kit
The Valkir Heavy Troopers aren’t just models to put on a tabletop; they’re a storytelling tool. Each squad you assemble carries the weight of Eisenkern history and the brutality of their training.
These troopers represent more than just the might of the Eisenkern—they’re a reminder that even in the grim, unyielding future of the Iron-Core universe, warriors forged in ritual and sacrifice still stand at the heart of every epic tale.
