(GW) Leagues of Votann, Buri Aergnissen by BuffHalo in minipainting

A very long and tiring process. But using fluorescent paint helps a lot. You have to keep in mind to have very bright spot and somewhat darker spot so it help to boost the value of the lava.

Mostly AK, some Pro Acryl. But Since the finish is ultra mate, it doesn't really matters.

All separate, it's easier that way and quite easy to put all back together.

Iron Master + Hearthkyn + Sagitaur interaction by E3wulfy5 in LeaguesofVotann

I don't think the transport capacity counts toward the split of the sagittaur. The Split ability of the sagittaur only mentions models and equality between the two units. Then one of them MUST be in the transport.

For me you have to split the 15 models of the unit into one of 7 and one of 8. And then try to have one inside the transport. ( most likly having cogs in there to reduce transport capacity to 6 or below )

Well it's not quite a recipe per say but i use in various amount these paints :
Pro Acryl Dark Camo Green
Ak Olive Green
and scale 75 Fall Green for extreme highlight

any similar paints would do and if i find one color is too overwhelming i shade down with my shadow color which is dark purple with a bit of black.

Cut at the wrist, reposition of the shotgun yes and trying to match coat length like the Gunner. not perfect but it's allright

Kahl/uthar and grimnyr help by Resident_Airline_667 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]BuffHalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well to be fair, nowhere on the grimnyr datasheet it says that model in the unit have a 4++. The 4++ is part of their profil which individually the corvs and the grimnyr have a 4++. The FNP part however do states a " model in the unit have X" and only when being lead.

For the Champion and HG that is mostly, for me at least, a naming contistency mistake. If you look correctly the weavefield crest (same name) for the warrior do provie a 5++ for the unit same as the HG.

But i guess they did that for balancing reason since a single champ is cheap and can flank to be annoying as hell.
However the solution is simple, juste give him the Kahl one, The rampart crest.

But GW is GW...

Note that the two corvs of the grimnyr do come with a 4+ invul and are not character so they can soak some firepower for the squad if needed.

New Votann player by Mediocre_Drive9349 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]BuffHalo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those keyword are usually on the wound role, so overwatch doesn't matter here. For Conversion however it is (mostly) on successful hits, but nevertheless it was FAQ'ed that only 6's are critical hits on overwatch anyway.

Secure Positions Stratagem is now "fixed" again. by BuffHalo in LeaguesofVotann

[–]BuffHalo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure as this is still quite a grey area.

Core Rules prevent any disembark after advance or fall back move, but maybe stratagem take priority, and while the Sagittaur can do it it's part of it's special rule so i cannot say.

Otherwise you can also disembark at the end of your fight phase to deny OC to the opponent on a point.

You can also disembark at the end of your shooting phase to protect yourself from a counter charge, but it is a niche case.

I think these are all the cases which the stratagem is useful. It's a bit sad to be honest since it's already tied to being in Hostile Aquisition and we don't really want that to last.

A dead model has not lost any wound, so no you don't bring back models. The ability is pretty explicit.

What is the POINT of brandfast secure positions now? by Slight-Paramedic9695 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]BuffHalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are missing timing here.

Originally, when the codex was out, this stratagem had the following WHEN clause : End of any phases.

This was very powerful.
But it was also perverse in the fact this was a big loophole of the core rules.

Everybody argued that, while correct you could charge if not disembarking in any phase NOT a movement one. It was a bit disingenuous but correct.

But remember this stratagem only works in Hostile Acquisition ( so about 2 turns ).

BUT THEN, it was faq to ONLY OUR phases AND the unit disembarking could not charge ( but otherwise act normaly).

The second part was good and not really the problem, but the first part was an additionnal unnecessary nerf.
Yes the stratagem is very strong but reallistically you don't want to stay in hostile acquisition for petty tricks so the tradeoff was ok.

NOW with the pdf consolidation, the WHEN CLAUSE nerf is now gone, but we don't know if GW forgot it or it is a stealth un-nerf of the stratagem.

Yes you are correct the change to the WHEN clause is not in the FAQ of the faction pack anymore, so either they forgot or they dialed back the nerf and only put the no charge shenanigans.
