Meet the Hearthkyn Salvagers! This 10-operative Leagues of Votann team is a tough, versatile force. With a 3+ save and 8-9 wounds, they're durable. Their unique Grudge rule makes enemies pay for each kill, turning normal hits into crits! They excel at holding objectives with ploys like Need Keeps, boosting APL and melee. While solid in shooting (especially up close with Proximate Firepower), they pack a punch in melee too. Flexible specialists like the Jump Pack Warrior and powerful Gunners let you adapt to any mission. Hold the line, avenge your kin, and claim what's yours!
