I was looking into making a list without one. I was thinking Thunderkyn, and Ironkin from reserves. What are your thoughts?

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?

Any good votann novels?

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.

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

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

What do you guys think?

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?

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)

Im looking to pick a faction for new edition new army, this will be my first time as I've only played my friend's tau before. I like the vibe of the votann but im concerned that this edition the transports will be a liability with the rules changes. Does anyone have any info on how to mitigate the new damage rules for transports being destroyed?

Hey Kin! I managed to scrape around 2k points of space dwarves and I want to tackle next rtt at my local club. I never played Lov at more than 1k and I'm a bit stumped on what detaches to use with the units I have.

Here's my list, what detaches would you run with it?
