History

Foundation and the Age of Strife

As with all the knightly houses, House Walkur's roots date back to the Age of Technology. In an age where ghastly perils hid in the shadows of the worlds that fed humanity, warriors clad themselves in titanic battlesuits to fight off xenos and rebels alike, and formed highly traditional and militaristic feudal societies in their domains. This is the pattern House Walkur followed, with one notable peculiarities: the incompatibility of males with the thrones mechanicus of the house.

Valkyries of House Walkur

Shield-Brothers

No warrior can stand on their own; even knights need men-at-arms to support them. Dropping alongside valkyries with grav-chutes are the shield-brothers of Tannhäuser. Whereas the valkyries are merely headstrong, the shield-brothers are truly insane, fighting against foes often beyond them with their lords, going where knights cannot reach to dislodge entrenched enemies in hand-to-hand combat.
