We're excited to reveal that Nyra Veyrath will be voiced by @charalanahzard.bsky.social! Like everyone here at Auroch Digital, Alanah has been a longtime fan of Warhammer 40,000.

You can find out more about her love for Warhammer in this interview: www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

The first image shows a black and white drawing of a Sister of Battle with white and black hair, scars and a Fleur-de-lis on her face and a spiky halo. The second image is a photo of a woman with long white hair wearing a black t-shirt with a Sister of Battle on it. The logo for Boltgun 2 sits between both images.
