GAME :  Age of Sigmar

The Khinerai Heartrenders are a specialized unit within the Daughters of Khaine, a faction in the Age of Sigmar known for their deadly combat skills, dark magic, and fierce devotion to the goddess Khaine. These winged warriors are adept at aerial combat and ambush tactics, embodying the lethal grace and ferocity of their kin.

Background and Lore

Origins: The Khinerai are a unique breed of Aelves who have undergone a transformation to gain the ability to fly. This transformation is a gift from Khaine, allowing them to serve as both scouts and deadly assassins on the battlefield. The Heartrenders are specifically trained to strike from above, using their agility and speed to outmaneuver their foes.

Role in the Daughters of Khaine: As elite aerial combatants, the Heartrenders are tasked with harrying enemy forces, disrupting formations, and targeting key enemy units. Their ability to swoop down from the skies makes them a constant threat, capable of striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.

Devotion to Khaine: The Heartrenders are deeply devoted to Khaine, often participating in dark rituals to honor their goddess. Their combat style reflects their worship, as they seek to spill blood and claim victory in her name.

Appearance

The Khinerai Heartrenders have a striking and ethereal appearance that reflects their connection to Khaine:

Wings: The most distinctive feature of the Heartrenders is their large, bat-like wings, which allow them to soar through the skies. These wings are often adorned with dark feathers and intricate designs that signify their allegiance to Khaine.

Armor: They wear lightweight armor that provides protection while allowing for maximum mobility. The armor is typically dark and ornate, featuring symbols of Khaine and other motifs that reflect their deadly nature.

Weapons: The Heartrenders are armed with razor-sharp blades and throwing knives, designed for swift and lethal strikes. Their weapons are often imbued with dark magic, enhancing their lethality in combat.

Role in Gameplay

In Age of Sigmar, the Khinerai Heartrenders serve several key roles within a Daughters of Khaine army:

Aerial Assault: The Heartrenders excel in aerial combat, using their mobility to swoop down on unsuspecting enemies. They can engage enemy units from unexpected angles, making them difficult to counter.

Hit-and-Run Tactics: With their ability to strike quickly and retreat, the Heartrenders are masters of hit-and-run tactics. They can disrupt enemy formations, target vulnerable units, and then withdraw before the enemy can retaliate.

Support for Other Units: The Heartrenders work well alongside other Daughters of Khaine units, providing support and creating openings for their allies to exploit. Their presence can help to create chaos in enemy lines, allowing for coordinated attacks.

Conclusion

The Khinerai Heartrenders are a vital component of the Daughters of Khaine, embodying the lethal grace and ferocity of their goddess. Their formidable aerial capabilities, agility, and dark devotion make them a powerful force on the battlefield. As swift and deadly warriors dedicated to Khaine, the Heartrenders stand ready to unleash their wrath upon any who dare oppose them, ensuring that the legacy of the Daughters of Khaine continues to thrive in the Age of Sigmar.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 5 Khinerai Heartrenders. Distinguishable from their Lifetaker sisters by their sinister, full-face horned helmets, they soar through the skies on enormous, spiked wings. Their armour is minimal, designed more to be streamlined for aerial maneuvers than actual protection – thick plate would drag them down, providing a disadvantage to these high-speed killers. Each Heartrender carries a long barbed javelin in one hand, with a heartpiercer shield in the other; these shields are aptly named, featuring large, sharp spikes. You can build a Shryke, which is the unit leader – she is denoted by her unique veiled helmet and loincloth. Each model is attached to its base via a sculpted ruin to which their base connects, providing the dynamic, aerial look they require.

The Khinerai Heartrenders come as 61 components, and are supplied with 5 Citadel 40mm Round bases. This kit can optionally be used to assemble 5 Khinerai Lifetakers.
