Introduction To The Grymn

Not all species in the cosmos have developed through natural evolution. Some are created by those wishing to play the part of a deity. Others are created by those requiring a subservient race that can be used as slave labour.

nature, he was given tasks in the main Sleiti laboratory working under the technicians who were creating more of the new race. The placidity was a deception for experiment #14 had more cunning than was given him credit. Lack of security in the Sleiti laboratory allowed experiment #14 to steal the new Grymn embryos and escape into the uncharted depths of the cosmos.

New Beginnings
In the centuries that have passed, the Grymn have developed their own culture and their own technology. They started by simply hiring their muscle to anyone who could pay. As time passed, the Grymn accrued enough resources to start to run their own operations. Their exceptional intelligence has allowed them to manufacture many advance weapons and vehicles. Although they have settled on some worlds, many spend their entire lives on the Generational Ships that traverse the stars. The Sleiti remain their sworn enemies with the Grymn taking any opportunity to attack outposts controlled by their former masters.

Genesis
The Grymn are a race originally bred for servitude. Many centuries ago, they were genetically created by the Sleiti, a powerful Elven race with expertise in bio-engineering and controlled mutation. The Sleiti have created numerous genetically enhanced species over the millennia. One of the first were the Zoads, a large and powerful multilimbed creature with the dexterity belying its size to allow it to use semi-organic technology. The Zoads were used as heavy infantry by the Sleiti, but they were unsuitable for use as a day to day workforce. Rather than dabble in the re-engineering the Zoads, the Sleiti decided to create a new smaller race based on the humanoid DNA pattern. The Sleiti wanted a stout and durable race capable of working in the confined spaces or the Torillium Mines After several failed attempts, experiment #14 was the first subject embryo to be taken full term in the cyro accelerant vat. In a mere 160 days, a fully mature subject was birthed in a moment of terror and pain. The Sleiti dubbed their newest creation a Grymn. The Sleiti used their advanced teaching techniques to quickly progress experiment #14 to a stage where he could be evaluated for future use. Experiment #14 proved quick to learn and tireless in his work. Deemed harmless, due to his placid

A New Enemy
Following the failure of the Grymn experiment, the Sleiti turned their hand to creating another humanoid race, the Bohkin. These were genetically engineered hunters and bred specifically to hunt down and eradicate the Grymn.

The Bohkin, like the Grymn, use conventional technology. Both ballistic and energy weapons are utilised although the Bohkin prefer to use the loudest of weapons.

Weapons And Technology

The Grymn have proved themselves to be masters of developing new technologies. Their engineers have become renowned as weaponsmiths and armourers. Grymn armour is a perfect blend of strength and durability. All Grymn models wearing armour with a value of 3 or higher, automatically gain resilience (+2) for no additional points cost. The array of weaponry and vehicles available to the Grymn have made them a powerful force in only a few centuries.

Operating as mercenaries, or fighting for their own fledgling race, the Grymn must never be underestimated by assuming their height reflects on their ability. The Grymn are well trained and well disciplined soldiers. Their reliable weaponry and communications allow them to lay down suppressing fire to enable close combat specialists to quickly advance on enemy positions. More often than not, heavy weapons teams and snipers will operate as individuals, positioning themselves in the best location to command a strong view across the battlefield.

Characters
Over the years, a number of Grymn have become legends. Party due to their short history, many of the most famous Grymn are living legends and inspire their comrades onto greater feats of heroics.

Individuals
There are a number of specialists available to the Grymn commander. Although the Sniper is the most deadly in combat, the Field Engineer and the Combat Medic also have their uses.

Close Combat Weapons

The axe is the archetypal Grymn close combat weapon and is favoured by the hard hitting Vanquisher units.

O-Grymn Weaponry
Some weaponry is simply too large for even a Grymn to carry. Such very large weapons are usually vehicle mounted. However, the O-Grymn have adapted some for use as hand held support weapons.

Trait
In addition to the Dwarven Trait detailed in the main rules, the following trait is specific to the Grymn race.

Sniper Equipment
The following equipment is restricted to snipers only. A Sniper model may only take a single sniper weapon upgrade. 8 points Sniper Advanced Scope Sniper weapon upgrade. The advanced scope allows a skilled sniper to locate a critical area on a target. Any rolls to hit of a 1 or a 2 are treated as critical hits and negate any armour.

Stout

Grymn Trait Due to their low center of gravity, the Grymn are more resilient to being knocked prone. If a Grymn would normally be knocked prone by a weapon or weapon effect, roll a D10. On a roll of 5 or less, the Grymn model is not knocked prone. All Grymn possess the Stout trait at no additional points cost.

Equipment
The Grymn manufacture some of the best hardware known. Equipment detailed here is readily available to Grymn units specified. 8 points Some assault units and walkers are fitted with jump jets. These allow such units to make powered jumps over obstacles and even charge into close combat.
Sniper

Jump Jets / Jet Packs

2 points Laser Sights Sniper weapon upgrade. Laser sights may be fitted to any standard ranged weapon to provide greater accuracy. The range modifiers are added to the standard weapons close range (CR), medium range (MR) and long range (LR) values.
Name Laser Sights UC CR +1 MR +1 LR +1 ST -

A model fitted with jump jets may expend 5 actions (AC) to move up to 15 reaching a height of half the distance actually travelled. A model will always expend 5 actions (AC) regardless of the distance moved. See the movement section for full rules on the use of jump jets and jet packs.

The maximum range of the weapon is not increased or decreased by the use of laser sights. 2 points Sniper weapon upgrade. Grymn weaponsmiths are adept at creating armour piercing munitions. A sniper equipped with AP Ammunition confers an additional Penetration Modifier (PM) -1 modifier after all other modifiers have been applied.

AP Ammunition
