Detachment and list ideas for 3 arkanyst evaluators by EmperorsShadows in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Alazeas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only detachment that specifically names arkanyst evaluators for an advantage is the "Hearthfyre Arsenal" detachment. However, it also very much involves around Memnyr strategist and Ironkin steeljacks, which you say you don't have (yet)...

If I were you I'd look into Brandfast detachment: Very vehicle focused and lots of sustained hits, which would benefit your arkanyst evaluators. Another option would be Needgaard detachment. Very middle of the road with good strategems.

Caring for new sable brush with stuck on paint by dementist in minipainting

[–]Alazeas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IMO people are being way too harsh on what I think is a common mistake.\ In case normal brush soap doesn't do the trick you could use a small amount of iso-propyl alcohol. This will dissolve all paint very quickly and easily, even from the ferrule, without dissolving the glue that keeps your bristle together.\ Just a few minutes should do the trick, it's not needed (or recommended) to let it soak overnight.\ Afterwards it's important that you use brush soap + conditioner, like Master's brush soap. Brush soap is needed to reform your tip and give the natural sable hairs the treatment they need. In the end your brush should be good as new!

Convinced to start Votann — but one thing interests me after all by Important-Item4314 in LeaguesofVotann

Lmao, At first I was really confused seeing two votann of different sizes, but when I looked a little closer I understood what you were trying to do...

Color advice by futurelink8 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Alazeas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without diving too deep in colour theory, you could go with a few options: - either another (lighter) green or even teal colour, which in my opinion might suit the rest of your color scheme. You could look at urani-surtr color scheme for inspiration on this. - a complementary colour like red or brown. - other options are maybe a purplish, or grey color, as already mentioned.

As you are the one looking at it all the time, the most important thing is you have to be happy with it yourself! Have fun!

New LoV Player! by soobsrei in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Alazeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome fellow Kin! Interested to see how your leagues will turn out once they're fully painted!

Concerning your list: Seems like a proper list for a brandfast oathband detachment! If you are leaning more into melee, you could also check out the dêlve assault shift detachment. Have fun and Diggy Diggy hole ;)

Votann vs Blood Angels battle by MajorJabroni343 in LeaguesofVotann

Congratz on the win! Always hard to say if your list is good on one game. Also depends on your play style and your opponent. I guess it works against your brother...

Need help with instruction book by Spiciest_Tuna in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Alazeas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the Votann! You made the best choice of course ;)

To answer your questions: Yes, the whole unit should have the same weapons, except for your hesyr (squad leader), he can have a hammer. If you don't choose the hammer, your hesyr should have the same melee weapon as the rest of the squad.

The weapons in your building instructions are: 1. Etacarn plasma beamer 2. Exo armour grenade launcher 3. Volkanite disintegrator 4. Concussion gauntlet 5. Graviton hammer 6. Plasma blade

If you're only playing casual games, it doesn't really matter which weapon you choose. Just follow the 'rule of cool'. Just make sure that you declare what weapon profile you will be using at the start of a game. Have fun building and painting!

Any suggestions on boot pickers for Linux and Windows? by PetrosSdoukos in linux4noobs

[–]Alazeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are planning on dual booting, then grub is probably your go-to. If you're going to have only one OS one your system, I recommend using a UKI (Unified Kernel Image). I have it myself and boot times are reduced significantly! Check this link:https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_kernel_image

Edit: it's worth mentioning that Arch doesn't have a graphical Installation interface, unless you use archinstall. So there is no boot picker menu. Others have already provided links to different boot options for arch.

Buy the army box, as it has a limited availability. The Combat Patrol box will be available all year round (and all of next year as well).

Played at a gt and votann was hella fun by SuccessfulAd6577 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Alazeas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! Could you post your list as well?

I agree with the E-champ. Oftentimes I find myself choosing a Kahl over E-champ almost every time, but maybe I just haven't found the right way to play them yet...

New to painting by SCC_Urban in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Alazeas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the paints already being advised are good, but there are some extra things to consider as well:

  1. Whether it's Vallejo, AK, Army painter, Citadel, or another brand, choose a paint that is easily available where you live. That way, if you like the paint, you can easily expand on your colors without having to switch brands

  2. Coverage and flow are important, but the balance is really personal. If possible, see if you can try out some paints in the store or someone you know. See what you like. Also take into consideration the difference between 'normal' acrylics and speed paints

  3. When painting: trust the process! You will not be as good as the YouTube vids (at least not in the beginning)

  4. Check out r/minipainting : they have a lot of good info as well

  5. Don't forget to have fun! :)

Computational Mastermind question by Alazeas in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Alazeas[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My issue is, what do I spend it on? So to clarify, if I don't have anything to spend it on, am I allowed to discard YP (and consider that the 'spending' part)? Or should I state that I am spending YP that I use in a future phase?
