Warhammer 40,000 reveals Intranzia Fraye, throne-riding Sister for Armageddon

Games Workshop kept the Armageddon rollout moving on April 17 with two more characters that look built for real table work, not just shelf appeal. Intranzia Fraye, the Dogmata Superior of the Adepta Sororitas, and Inquisitor Kroyle both push hard into the kind of mobile pressure that tends to win games in 40k, and both point toward Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick as more than a lore parade. This is the next major expansion for Warhammer 40,000, and the latest reveal made it clear that the new wave is being built around units with sharp, specific jobs.

Fraye is the more theatrical of the pair, and the more obviously aggressive. She rides into battle on the Throne of Blame, a walking platform bristling with guns, and her profile is packed with the sort of weapons mix Sisters players actually use to clear space in the middle of the table. Bolt, flame, and melta give her a credible threat into infantry and some light vehicles, which matters on Armageddon, where the fight is being framed around harsh judgment and relentless attrition. Her rules also lean into the Adepta Sororitas game plan: Righteous Denunciations and the ability to mark an enemy unit Judged for Execution make her sound like a force multiplier for nearby sisters, not a lone duelist. In the context of the Order of Our Martyred Lady contingent on Armageddon, that fits the faction’s reputation for stoicism, sacrifice, and punishing any unit that steps too far forward.

Kroyle is a different kind of problem entirely. He is fast, awkward to pin down, and much happier working angles than standing in the open. A 12-inch Move characteristic and Lone Operative already make him hard to answer cleanly, but the Jindarii tox-cycler is the real headline. It reaches 36 inches, carries Precision, Heavy, and Anti-Monster 2+, and ramps up to Damage 6 at its peak. That is not filler shooting. That is the profile of a character hunter and monster deterrent that can punish expensive models from a long way off. On My Signal, Fire! adds a practical reason to keep him near friendly Battleline units, because it gives their shooting extra bite instead of forcing Kroyle to operate as an isolated sniper piece.

Taken together, the two reveals say a lot about where Armageddon is headed. Fraye wants to shove Sisters into the mid-board and dare the enemy to contest it. Kroyle wants to stalk the lanes, crack high-value targets, and support a formation from the flank. With Yarrick and Wazdakka Gutsmek already anchoring the broader Armageddon story, Games Workshop is making this release wave look like one where the new datasheets will matter on the table from day one.
