Games Workshop Auric Hearthguard / Berzerkers

Background

Hearthguard Berzerkers are the strongest warriors of their lodge. Protectors of the Runefather and his sons, they wield massive poleaxes with an attached chain and brazier with enough skill and power to puncture any chaos-forged armour.

Auric Hearthguard are the custodians of a lodges Magma-vault. They protect the precious ur-gold that is collected by their brothers, thereby protecting the very spirit of Grimnir himself. Armed with magically forged Magmapikes, the Auric Hearthguard assault their enemies with gouts of incandescent liquid rock. These projectiles quickly harden, solidifying and trapping their opponents in solid rock where the Auric Hearthguard can move in and easily dispatch them.
