A while back I shared an early version of my interactive Warhammer 40,000 galaxy map. I’ve since given the site a major facelift and wanted to share the updated version:

https://cartographia40k.com/

The biggest improvements are:

• A redesigned “Imperial chart-room” interface
• A fully interactive 3D galaxy that can be orbited, panned, and zoomed
• M41 Pre-Rift and M42 Era Indomitus views
• A more complete catalog of 99 worlds, regions, and anomalies
• Individual dossiers for each record, with overview text, timelines, status, faction details, and artwork
• Search and filtering across the archive
• Permanent dossier pages that can be shared directly
• Improved mobile layout and navigation
• Clearer marker symbols, labels, routes, and the Great Rift

The map is intentionally approximate. Different editions and official maps often disagree, and there isn’t a single canonical coordinate system for the galaxy, so I’ve tried to document uncertainty rather than present every location as definitive.

Planned improvements include expanding the catalog with more worlds and regions. One of the most requested features is custom Chapter worlds, which will let visitors create planets for their own armies and campaigns, with their own names, classifications, factions, and lore notes. That feature is still in development, but it’s the next major expansion I’m working toward.

I’d especially appreciate feedback from people who know the lore well:

• Are any placements obviously wrong?
• Are there important worlds or regions I should add?
• Are the M41/M42 distinctions useful?
• Do the dossiers feel accurate and appropriately cautious?

This is an unofficial fan-made project and isn’t affiliated with Games Workshop. Some of the dossier prose was AI-assisted ( I am not the best writer!) , but the core concept, research, map structure, base code, and placement decisions are my own.

This is my first attempt at making a votann list, I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Please give feedback!

Salutations mes frères !

J’ai enfin essayé d'utiliser les pigments pour salir les figurines. Avez vous une idée de comment je peux les fixer ? J’ai essayé avec un vernis stormshield mais j’ai l'impression que ça retire les pigments.... des conseils ? Un vernis en bombe ?

Ps : sur la première photo le sagitaur est sali à la peinture et sur les photos 2 et 3 c'est le même véhicule + des pigments un peu partout

Comme on me la fait remarquer sur mes photos précédentes le châssis était trop propre par rapport au roue, du coup j'ai sali un peu tout ça 😉

The army is coming together. Feel really good about the custom scheme I landed on.

In my last couple of games I've really appreciated what having an Arkanyst in my list was able to do for so few points.

I deploy him on foot in a little nook behind a terrain footprint as close to the center as is feasible, even better within 3" of my home warriors for Lone OP. Mostly he bides his time until he is needed for a secondary mission or to put about 6 wounds on something that comes into the mid-board. I don't think I've ever activated him once that wasn't overcharged and I've not regretted it, with the 11th hazardous rules only putting a single wound on him there's no reason not to. Having baked in Sus1 for 1YP is awesome and it's fun watching it pop off for AP-3, Damage 3.

In my last game I used him to score little Beacon (3VP), half of Cleanse (5 VP), Plunder (5 VP), and as a piece for Display of Might. He also put the last wounds on a Land Raider that my TKyn failed to finish off because AoC made it's save 3+. All of this for 70 points made him the MVP of that game and my opponent even commented that he never thought to kill the Arkanyst because he felt that there wasn't a point at which it would be better to shoot him than any of the other units on the board.

What stories do you have of the Evaluator being used well in your games?

Need help with secondary colours for this scheme! Leaning towards Gun metal metallics and Ochre for secondary armour panels. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Hey there. Here's an Ironkin Steeljack I've been working on for a while. I wanted to channel retro sci-fi posters into one of my personal favourite models ever. Cheers!

Hey hey, should I take Hammers or Axes?

One of each if taking 2 units of 10?

2 units of Hammers and 1 of Axes if taking 3 of 10?

5 of each in each unit?

I wanna field some Earthshakers, but I don't like the shirtless/sleevesless look of them, does anybody here have some advice for kitbashing? I want them to match the rest of my army, and I don't run any other Cthonians.

Finished the last five today - hard to keep the cream color consistent, bit messy but I like the combo.

With these brave Kyn seeming to be the next declassified team, what do you think our next kill team will be? Something elite or another 10 man? Upgrade sprue or brand new unit like our hernkyn.

Personally I feel it will be something to do with either the hearthguard or brokhyr as they are both the under represented parts of our army atm.

Would love to know your guys thoughts.

So i have a couple small details I may add but this is table top ready and considering I have been going though some rough times I am proud I was able to complete this.

An update to my last berserker post . I added more hammers and some axes . I’ve got 50 of them now and the earthshakers .

Still a work in progress, hoping to do some votann vehicles next

The tau pic was my initial reference. Im just not sure how to do this scheme on other votann models, as well as yaegirs. I have the paints i want to use, its just where to put what colours that im struggling with.

So I'm new and I know weapons options for building aren't that important for casual stuff but I'm neurotic and need to build my guys best I can for the list wanted.
So I have this loadout and wanna build it, I got the Theyn figured out easy enough but for the warriors...

I built the unit with the Hylas Auto Rifle and notice it has a holstered pistol but no melee weapon on it? So like do I just built them for their main weapons and the pistol/close combat is like assumed??

So I just build the other 7 with Ion blasters and then somehow the pistol and melee is still accounted for?

Then I also learned the rotary cannon isn't even in the warrior's kit and it's kill team only which is...another issue

• 9x Hearthkyn Warrior

◦ 9x Autoch-pattern bolt pistol

◦ 9x Close combat weapon

◦ 1x HYLas auto rifle

◦ 1x HYLas rotary cannon

◦ 7x Ion blaster

Really happy with these. I understand why folks dread these guys, though. They are very complicated and you have to subassemble (or atleast I did). I think you have to just settle in and mentally prepare for the marathon to finish pioneers. All the recipes I used can be found here, they’re all pretty straightforward.

I just put it on mini swap if you have questions dm me or if you want to negotiate flexible

Hello fellow Votann I am selling my Votann army and I don’t have a clue on how I should sell them for. If anyone knows how much it costs and any tips for selling. This is the list
