An Autoch Pattern Bolter of the Leagues of Votann
An Autoch Pattern Bolter is a hand-held, ballistic, anti-personnel weapon used by the military forces of the Leagues of Votann that is very similar to the Imperial bolter.
Like its Imperial counterpart, with which it shares a common technological heritage from pre-Imperial Terra through the STC databases, the Autoch Pattern Bolter fires kinetic projectiles known as "bolts" that explode on impact.
However, Kin weapons like Autoch Pattern Bolters are superior in almost every respect to those wielded by the agents of the Imperium, since the Kin employ superlative materials and methods in their construction and have no fear of further innovating on an ancient STC design. As a result, the Autoch Pattern Bolter and its variants often have longer ranges and more stopping power than any of their Imperial equivalents.
Variants[]
An Autoch Pattern Bolt Pistol
Autoch Pattern Bolt Pistol[]
An Autoch Pattern Bolt Pistol is a smaller, single-handed pistol version of the Autoch Pattern Bolter used by the military forces of the Leagues of Votann. It works using the exact same principles and armament as its larger counterpart, and possesses the same stopping power, but only half the range.
Autoch Pattern Bolt Pistols are a favoured back-up weapon for Kin Hearthkyn soldiers of the line, and for officers such as Brôkhyr Thunderkyn, theyns, and kâhls.
Autoch Pattern Combi-bolter[]

The Autoch Pattern Combi-bolter is a Combi-weapon used by the military forces of the Leagues of Votann that is simply two standard Autoch Pattern Bolters that have been mechanically combined into a single weapon, rather than having been constructed that way in the first place like a Storm Bolter. It thus is able to unleash double the rate of fire.
The Autoch Pattern Combi-bolter is based on the same STC technology relied on to create the Combi-bolters that were used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy before the later development of the Storm Bolter which replaced it in standard Imperial usage by the 41st Millennium.
A Leagues of Votann Autoch Pattern Combi-bolter can be combined with an exo-armour gauntlet's RAM Shield for use by Einhyr Champions or can be used as a separate weapon in its own right.
