Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Leagues of Votann: Grimnyr

Product Information

This multipart plastic kit one Grimnyr, a powerful and cunning psyker accompanied by two CORVs. Draped in ornate ceremonial robes and protected by their bird-headed ward crest, this shamanic figure wields an ancestral ward stave capped with a Votannic visage. The kit includes a choice of two heads – one with a beard and mysterious hood, and the other with flowing braids. The rune-marked CORVs that accompany the Grimnyr into battle lend fire support with Autoch-pattern bolters, but also act as conduits to protect them from dangerous surges of empyreal power. Do you see Agnar?’ said Odin, your foster-son? He’s coupling with a giantess in a cave. He’s fathering brutes. But my ward, Geirrod, is a king. He rules over a great country.’ Karaz-a-Karak - Barak Varr - Grimmpeak - Karak Angazbar - Karak Angkul - Karak Azgal - Karak Azgaraz - Karak Azul - Karak Kaferkammaz - Karak Eight Peaks - Karak Eksfilaz - Karak Gantuk - Karak Grom - Karak Hirn - Karak Izor - Karak Kadrin - Karak Norn - Karak Ziflin - Karak Zorn - Zhufbar Grímnismál ( Old Norse: [ˈɡriːmnesˌmɔːl]; 'The Lay of Grímnir') [1] is one of the mythological poems of the Poetic Edda. It is preserved in the Codex Regius manuscript and the AM 748 I 4to fragment. It is spoken through the voice of Grímnir, one of the many guises of the god Odin. The very name suggests guise, or mask or hood. Through an error, King Geirröth tortured Odin-as-Grímnir, a fatal mistake, since Odin caused him to fall upon his own sword. The poem is written mostly in the ljóðaháttr metre, [2] typical for wisdom verse.

Its actual in-game name is "Immune.", and Dispel Cancel (1 time) Effects that remove buffs will be nullified (1 time) And in case you thought that the Leagues were going to be without any Psykers, SURPRISE! Meet the Grimnyr. A combination of priest and psyker, these Living Ancestors are powerful psychic clones from a very special Kin. Hekaton Land FortressThis stanza looks as though it originally had had nothing to do with the two preceding it. Snorri quotes it in his description of the three roots of Yggdrasil, and the three springs be neath them. "The third root of the ash stands in heaven and beneath this root is a spring which is very holy, and is called Urth's well." (Cf. Voluspo, 19) "There the gods have their judgment-seat, and thither they ride each day over Bifrost, which is also called the Gods' Bridge." Thor has to go on foot in the last days of the destruction, when the bridge is burning. Another interpretation, however, is that when Thor leaves the heavens (i.e., when a thunder-storm is over) the rainbow-bridge becomes hot in the sun. Nothing more is known of the rivers named in this stanza. Lines 3-4 are almost certainly interpolated from stanza 30. Snorri quotes this stanza, which concludes the passage, beginning with stanza 25, describing Yggdrasil. If we assume that stanzas 27-34 are later interpolations--possibly excepting 32--this section of the poem reads clearly enough.]

Freki ("The Greedy") and Geri ("The Ravenous"): the two wolves who sit by Othin's side at the feast, and to whom he gives all the food set before him, since wine is food and drink alike for him. Heerfather: Othin. A Grimnyr accompanied by his two CORV robotic assistants, all outfitted with Ancestral Ward Crests. Grimnyr

Grimnir is portrayed as a muscular Dwarf, his body covered with tattoos and ritual scars, wearing the spiked orange crest and exotic jewellery of a Slayer. He is clad in chain mail and is armed with the axe Az-Dreugidum (“Waraxe of Doom”). [1a] Symbol [ ] In Old English, Odin was known as Wōden; in Old Saxon, as Wōdan; and in Old High German, as Wuotan or Wōtan. [ citation needed] See also [ edit ] King Geirröd sat with his sword on his knee, half drawn from its sheath. When he understood it was indeed Odin who was among them, he rose to get Odin away from the fires. The sword slipped from his hand, falling with the hilt down. King Geirröd stumbled and fell forward, falling on his own sword he died. Then Odin disappeared, and Agnar ruled as king for a long time. The mechanism by which a Kindred’s Grimnyr choose their ultimate representative is unknown outside of their enigmatic circles. Yet all Kin know what this venerated figure embodies: wisdom, guidance and insight. Within the Volannic Council, the Lord Grimnyr is held to be the voice of the Ancestors themselves, as well as a walking conduit for both their lore and their gestalt might. Nor is this role a purely ceremonial or advisory one. It is incumbent upon the Lord Grimnyr to walk the battlefield as the eyes and curs and voice of the Votann, dispensing wisdom to friends and allies, even as they unleash the wrath of the glowering Ancestors upon the enemies of their Kindred. ABILITIES Offerings to Grimnir include axes and gold jewellery. The resolution of grudges is also considered an offering to him. [3a]

Adamnan-Na-Brionha - Amex - Kourdanrin - Liadriel - Meneloth - Morai-Heg - Salthite - Sarriel - Torothal For Slayers, the only stricture of the cult is that all must engage in any combat where the chances of honourable death are favourable, especially against unfavourable odds. Any cowardice in the face of such combat further dishonours and disgraces the Slayer. [1a] Odin and his wife, Frigg, were sitting in Hlidskjalf, looking out on the worlds. They turned their eyes towards King Geirröth, who was reigning in the stead of his late father, King Hrauthung. Geirröth and his older brother Agnarr had been raised by Odin and Frigg, respectively. The god and goddess had disguised themselves as a peasant and his wife, and had taught the children wisdom. Geirröth returned to his father's kingdom where he became king upon his father's death, while Agnarr dwelt with a giantess in a cave.The most accomplished hero of the Greater Thurian League, Kâhl Ûthar the Destined is a ruthless warrior armed with masterfully wrought weapons, including the legendary Blade of the Ancestors. With a gift for assessing enemy foes, he ensures that the Kinhosts he leads strikes with swift and brutal precision. Einhyr Champion Geirröd, on the other hand, went up to the village and the young boy was received well. His father, however, was dying. Then Geirröd became king and was known as a good man. Odin and Frigga watches from Hlidskjálf This version is based on an older English translation that has been adapted slightly for a modern-day reader. Most, if not all, of the old English words and phrases, are changed as well as updating some sentence structures. When unsure of a particular meaning or spelling, I have consulted a more modern translation in Norwegian. Grímnismál Slith may possibly be the same river as that mentioned in Voluspo, 36, as flowing through the giants' land. Leipt: in Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II, 29, this river is mentioned as one by which a solemn oath is sworn, and Gering points the parallel to the significance of the Styx among the Greeks. The other rivers here named are not mentioned elsewhere in the poems.]
