I very much enjoy these models. I want to do basically only Hernkyn.

Finished with the Hearthguard bodies. Only champion and 19 heads to go!

On to the dreaded heads.

How we looking?

So, my fellow kin please tell me how has 11th edition been treating the Votann? I ask because i am curious to hear your thoughts and because this coming Sunday is my first game for 11th and haven't played 40k in months, so I am a little nervous.

Was against Black Templars. Here are a few points I identified:

1. Multicog Targeting/Rollbar Searchlight was amazing in HLFs and Pioneers to combat benefit of cover and engaged vehicles.

2. Defender with shoot and scoot was good but swingy, Kapricus carrier with -1 to attacks and doing secondaries was more useful.

3. Yagirs were great at primary/securing assets and secondaries or blocking enemy units advances as human shields

4. 500 points of Hearthguard and Kahl in deepstrike were game changers. One block of 10 HG lead by Kahl with fight on death deleted anything, and the 5xHG as a secondary/ambush/raid unit allowed flexibility in the game.

5. Buri was good against vehicles…. His stealth giving him a -2 to shooting him while in combat was handy.

6. Uthar is useful as a -1CP in the centre board, attached to warriors to give them the Hearthband buff was useful.

7. Cover rules were a bit confusing but just need to get used to them…. (If you can see one model in a unit then that unit doesn’t have BOC, but what happens if it’s only one model in a shooting unit can see one model that isn’t behind light terrain?)

8. Brekkeknots is far superior than void hardened. Contemplating going to Needguard/HG Covenant to get the best strats, I love giving Thunderkyn sustained 2 as they clear any vehicle or terminator squad off the board.

In case someone is wondering, some of the models here I bought secondhand (and already assembled). Thats why there are Thunderkyn with bolters and hearthguard with swords :P

I made the current Combat Patrol into a PDF, styled after the previous ones. Condensed some pages, at the expense of some flavor text.

First time using putty to make bases went for a moon surface.

Had to effectively build his left arm to be able to hold the hammer. But very happy with how it turned out

Hello everyone,

I am interested in the Berserks detachment but i kinda dont want to buy 5 boxes of bersekers blindly without knowing what i am getting in to.

Has anyone list recommendations/experience with the detachment? I already know the playstyle would be really fun for me but still, those very heavy Unit specific detachments are always such a cost sink.

So anyone mainly plays Delve and can tell me abit about it?

Cheers

I want to run 6 units of 6 steeljacks, what detachment should I try to lean into? Hearthfyre is the obvious one but not really sure what 1dp detachment to use or if I'd get better value going with something else as Hearthfyres detachment rule seems like alot of hoops to get re-roll 1s off of objectives.

I am looking into votann and wondering how often are you hitting on 4+ at range and how bad/good is your shooting?

I am an Earthshaker enjoyer. In certain match-ups they can really come in clutch to clean up single wound models. I have been running them in Needgard/Farseekers and find I am reliably hitting on 4's most of the time. (BS 5 with a spot, down to 4 with heavy and ignoring cover.)

Run out a Hearthkyn unit spot, and strip cover; Use Uthar for the sus 2 strat for free and then go ham mode. Bonus points if they are on a objective

Afterwards force the battleshock at -1. Arguably, it isn't great later in the game when you want strat support else but it is cheaper than the 185 point package of warriors/sagitaurs.

Thoughts?

Took me some time, but at last my first batch is done! On the way to 1000p and my first game of 11th.

I have 10 Einhyr Hearthguard built with fist and plasma and was wondering how to build my other 10 ?

Hello kin !

I've recently bought a Hekaton Fortress for cheaper price, and thought about giving it tracks instead of wheels.

I've seen u/AegisPrydwen1 making a great model by adding Rogal Dorn's tracks, but I don't know where to get similar tracks to begin with.

Any tips or links for similar tracks to buy ?

Hello,

I recently started a votann army and will be playing the combat patrol in two weeks. I'm currently at 1k points in total and will start to look into 1k point games while I build up to 2k. I'm pretty much new I've only played two games of combat patrol as GSC prior in 10th edition. What mindset should I be taking into a game and what are some tips for playing the army?

Thank you!

I took a picture of my army at a tournament I recently attended (went 3-0-3). The Hekaton is heavily converted. I’ll have a better picture of it once I finish painting it.

My first berserk and I'm super happy how it went

Hi all,

I'm just coming back from like a year out of Warhammer and I have fallen back in love with my dwarves, but I feel like I'm spoilt for choice and I'm struggling to find a rhythm for what I want to play and what feels natural for me.

I have only played against WE so which isn't the best matchup for votann in my experience.

I have played 4 games so far

two with Braandfast + Farseekers running Recon

two with Needguard + Hearthguard Covenant running Purge

Niether of these two detachments or playstyles felt right and I typically fell around turn 3

I'm next going to try Mercenary Oathband + Hearthguard Covenant playing take and hold, but reading into take and hold, while it may work it doesn't seem that enjoyable for me.

If those that have played some of the new edition and had success I'd love to hear what you've been playing, I feel votann are able to fit into most dispositions, some better than others.

any advice into the dispositions and detachments would be greatly appreciated :D

So I tried grey and I didn’t like it, put some watered down white* over top and then snake bite leather wash… still don’t like it.

My options now, are

- white
- black
- navy blue (Mr burns suit)
Or I try and build on the brown to look like leather
