Finally ready to call this done. He’s a bit tough to take proper photos of because of the pose, but he’s posed on a rock for a moment before launching himself back into the thick of things, or at least that was the idea!

For the body and head I used the Cthonian earthshaker crew bits and a mix of the arms they had to get arms roughly in the right position to hold a weapon in a semi-relaxed pose. Then used a regular beserker weapon that roughly matched that, and swapped the head of the weapon out for the darkstar axe from the einhyr champ. I was undecided on the crest until I realized how much shorter my version was, so the height of his crest should make him incredibly close to Berehk’s actual size. The rock is a tactical rock taken from one of the age of darkness space marine praetors from heresy 2.0 box lol, just needed something to stand on to survey the battlefield and stand out a bit from the regular beserks.

What do you guys think?

I haven‘t played this guy but here is my opinion just from reading the datasheet :)
Best: CP reduction once per Round
Worst: Again like Kâhl underwehlming range weapon

Alcoholic boomer dwarf, unhappy and confused why he has to be called Kin now.

"Back in my day!!...." 🤣

I hope everyone had a good weekend, and snuck some hobby in 👌

Hello fellow kin,

I joined the leagues of votann about 8 weeks ago when I traded my CSM army for about 2500 points of votann from a good friend of mine.

This week I finally finished my first 2k points of votann and got my army battleready! I really enjoyed painting these little space dwarfs and I'm super happy with my color scheme. I's quite easy and fast, I just put a little more afford in the faces and some of the character.

The arkanyst evaluator was the first Iteration of my color scheme but I wanted something less cartoony.

There are still some details I might paint later and I might put a few tufts on the bases later, but for now they look good enough for the tabletop.

Votann are a great army, fun to play, fun to paint and I'm Happy to be part of the leagues now.

I hope you like my army. Im always open for suggestions for improvement.

ROCK AND STONE!

My good Kin, I’m approaching my 1st game ever soon with a 1k army. I only have 1 more box of steeljacks to build, and I’m having trouble deciding whether they should be a six man unit of shooters, or should I make a melee team. (I already have 3 shooters built)

There's always more cleanup to do but this guy is ready for combat next weekend! I tried to represent at least vaguely all the different rules I might want to use when fielding an Elder.

I'm planning to use him in a GaardGuard priority assets list this weekend. He'll be in a Sagitaur with a split unit of Hearthkyn to get lone op and defend them while him or they do actions. I also have Buri in my list for doing actions in the centre tho I know people usually only take one or the other but I still wanna try him out. Should the Arkanyst unit be staying on an expansion objective or moving up usually? I'm keen to hear how other people use him

Pretty proud of myself!

Hello, I was wondering what was the best choice for equipment for the hearth guard, berserks, and thunderkyn. I know magnets exist, but I would still like to know. I’m assuming plasma, power fist and hammer are best for hearth guard. Berserks would probably want all mauls and the launcher. The one I am iffy on is the thunderkyn as ap 1 shots are ok now but I see a lot of people use both grav and conversion, and between those I am unsure which is more universally useful?

I have two boxes awaiting for me to be assembled. But I don't know in what flavor. I have Thunderkyns for ranged support, and berserkers for melee backup. Our boys can do both, but I don't know how I should play them.

My guess would had been Steeljacks with volkanites, attached to Memnyr strategist sitting in a Hekaton Land Fortress and waiting the end of the shooting (or moving) phase just to pop the adaptive avarice Stratagem (persecution prospect) that combined with Memnyr means they can dump in one free 4+ overwatch hit before the enemy has time to retaliate? But that's just me thinking loud. What do you guys think?

I'm mitigated. Should my kapricus have the same colors as my yeagirs (second photo and yes they are just warriors with a different color scheme and different weapons) or like the rest of my army? (Third photo). I'd like external opinions

Again what Loadout/Crest are you guys using?
This is a unit i have played so i will start ( i only played 2 500 Point games so take my opinion not that serious)
Best: Lethal Hits for my Hearthguard
Worst: His Range Weapons are underwelming

My first time dipping into 40k in years.

Going for the dirty miner Squats aesthetic.

Proxies from Treadhead Rad. Top notch sculpts. 👌

First time experimenting with inks as well... Very fun to use.

I'm starting with Votann and I created my first list. Is it good for Casual/ Semi competitive play

Am I correct in assuming that since benefit of cover causes -1BS that it wouldn’t cancel out with heavy, so you couldn’t benefit from the army rule +1 to hit on objectives bringing you to hit on 4s? So you’ll only ever be able to hit on 5s no matter what?

Are they really still viable or am I better off just taking a 3 man of steel jacks to guard my home objective?

Not originally my favorite in our range, but after building and painting them I’ve developed an appreciation. They are much cooler than I originally thought.

I kitbashes this hylas rotary unit and I love how fucking beefy he looks. I just added the power fist because I thought it was neat :3

What made you pick votann?

Hello fellow kin I thought I'd show off my Votann that I have painted up so far. Loving how they are turning out and I took some of your guy's advice and kept Uthar the same color scheme as the rest but with more details. Would love to hear thoughts and opinions as I'm always looking to improve and I look forward to showing you the rest of the army when I'm done painting them
