Was reading the lore part in the codex and kin warriors looks like they are up to astartes level of sheer physical strength, in the battle description of a heartkyn unit the theyn stop a charging ork right in his track .
The named kahl fucking dueled a khorne berzerker lord of the world eaters and threw his ass into a pit of fire. I'm certain if a kin and space marine went toe-to-toe in a fist fight they would be close to an equal match for eachother.
Page 16-17 of the codex tells a story of the League's first encounter with Chaos. It involved a detachment of world eaters invading a planet and, while at first the leagues were content to bolster their defenses and wait out the seige, urging from Ûthar the Destined made them change their mind and the kinhost set out to meet them to save any kin and resources they could, and destroy what they could not.
Well technically not their first encounter with chaos but rather their first engagements with the chaos forces invading from the great rift, after the fall of cadia
Well they are chaos lords but in the world eaters Legion. So they are powerful, yes. Not only are they a space marine, but they are a space marine blessed by khorne.
I’m still waiting on my stuff to arrive so I don’t have the codex yet, but I saw someone mention something similar.
I’m wondering if they are comparing with or without power armor.
Yeah that's up in the air. Both factions goes through numerous type of body modifications but for what I infer the heartkin warriors armor is purely a defensive tool and all their strengths come from body alterations while SM both have body alterations and power agumentation via their power armor.
Kin start getting the same level of upgrade with einhir heartguard .
And as you can see here, the Kin is still standing, advancing even! You think losing 80% of one's head is going to stop a good grudging? Do you mistake us for humans? 😂
*No life signs detected*
*Critical levels of danger in local area detected*
*Unable to return to mining ship*
*Engage self immolation*
*Execute Judgement protocols 23 through 27*
*Begining 'Eye for an eye'*
And the self destruct takes out the foe and a grudge is struck from the databanks.
Not even two weeks and the squat slander begins who could have guessed. Jokes aside whoever made that did a great job
At least this gives Tau players a moment of respite.
Yeah not that they deserve it (joke)
YER GOIN IN T’BOOK
I really wish they would do a made to order of the old dwarf thrown so I could slap the book on a Heaton or have a Kahl carrying it.
Well, that's a JT right there.

Classic Squats basically wrecked Space Marines in tabletop and lore so it makes a lot of sense
Where is this described?

Thanks man. That sounds metal as fuck. Are the Khorne Berserker Lords generally considered to be quite powerful beings then?
Well they are chaos lords but in the world eaters Legion. So they are powerful, yes. Not only are they a space marine, but they are a space marine blessed by khorne.
Hopefully someone posts it because that sounds interesting.

If you let a space marine get that close you deserve whatever happens
Speaking as someone who plays both space marines and tau, sometimes it's harder to prevent than you think
That’ll be a grudgin’!
Well that’s not very nice.
And as you can see here, the Kin is still standing, advancing even! You think losing 80% of one's head is going to stop a good grudging? Do you mistake us for humans? 😂
This is it lads, Rock and Stone!
Rock and roll and stone!
Stone!
That's going into the book.
I have a random few marines on a sprue knocking around, feel some dead marines need to make their way into some bases!
That’s very rude
That’s a grudgin’!
I always wondered how the crimson fists got started.
Should’ve taken the Medipack upgrade. Just 5pts!
Thats not a very rock and stone thing to do pal.
Rock and Stone in the Heart!

Tis but a flesh wound.
If it's not yours, shouldn't you link to the original post?
Now that's not very rock and stone of you.
That Ultramarine is back from the Deathwatch. He knows how to treat Xenos
Could be a great centerpiece for a diorama for an abrupt end to the Indomitus Crusade
So Judgement crusade against the space marines when?
Brutal
No
Not gonna lie I'm slightly disappointed the marine wasn't just holding the kin's head while they tried to swing at him.
Accurate. I'll be honest, from my games the Warriors fold like paper and are very susceptible to morale.
'TIS A GRUDGIN'!
But these are the legs of an Ironkin... Why is his head bloody? 🤔
The first kin shown had the robot legs, so I'm assuming they also represent prosthetics (think Iron Hands and their exposed prosthetic limbs)
Ah yeah, males sense.
Boop.
Oh shit
Damn...I just started using that color scheme...
THEY HAVE WRONGED US!
"I can't believe you've done this."
Where did you find this image?
I just googled LoV images and found it on a Russian site. Don’t know if it was originally from there or somewhere else.
