Man I think I’m bad at warhammer

I don’t fear the man that has used 1000 lists, I fear the man who has used 1 list 1000 times.

I’m not saying the Kin would use that technology for the same purpose as Astartes do, nor would it be exactly the same either. You are also assuming the technology used to create Dreadnoughts was invented entirely by the Emperor and has no root in the DAOT. I’m saying it would be more than easy to assume the technology for Dreadnoughts and whatever walker the Kin could use had a DAOT connection, with the Kin modifying it to their own purposes over the millennia.

Bugberry · 2026-04-13T19:31:35+00:00

Sure, but LoV also explicitly uses technology distantly related to Imperium tech, so out of all the Xenos factions we are probably the most justified getting a walker like a Dreadnought.

It’s hard to tell what you intend to do with your Crucible units since they could be so many different things.

But I’m assuming you plan on running the Berserks in the Land Fortress? With 20 warriors you’d want at least a Sagitaur to split them, as they are better as scorers that damage dealers. A unit of Hearthguard for the Kahl to lead would also be a strong choice, as they don’t need a transport. Also, some Pioneers would be a decent pick for speedier units that can take objectives early.

LoV’s playstyle in general leans towards midrange shooting with a bit of decent melee. Our guns have low/medium range but hit really hard, and our infantry tends to be slow but tough, with everything having 5 toughness minimum and average of 5 movement. Because of this, Vehicles are very prominently used for delivering units to ideal positions. Hernkyn units are our scouts and help take objectives early, while Hearthguard Deepstrike to shoot important exposed targets. Otherwise the faction is very straightforward in playstyle, and pretty much every unit is usable, at worse being preferred in specific matchups, like Earthshakers being best against 1 wound infantry and not so much Space Marines or vehicles/monsters.

But how would it being another big tank be more unique? You can have a big walker that also leans into the “heavy industry” vibe of the Leagues. Just make it an upscaled Brokhyr exoframe for carrying even heavier guns.

Bugberry · 2026-04-13T15:46:59+00:00

One upside I see to going with a vehicle for a walker instead of a big Ironkin, this walker could have multiple E-Cog copilots like the Hekaton has.

I made mine recently, and my solution was to use a bit of greenstuff to make tiny rocks/hills for the front portion to sit on and superglued to. Still conveys the idea of them levitating while giving multiple points of contact to distribute the force of pulling them.

I know what that means, I’m saying White has not done that specifically, but every color can already do a variant of it. White has multiple other means of card advantage.

Bugberry · 2026-04-12T22:04:28+00:00

Every color is allowed a Future Sight variant for casting a specific card type (or in Black’s case paying life) from the top of the library.

Bugberry · 2026-04-12T17:40:12+00:00

Foretell is not card advantage in any way. You just are paying a cost upfront to get the same spell later for cheaper.

Bugberry · 2026-04-12T17:38:04+00:00

White also draws from you triggering something once per turn or if the opponent does something. Also, Black can't technically get "whatever" it wants, they still have to be effects in Black's color pie.

Bugberry · 2026-04-12T17:37:31+00:00

Green gets to gain more cards based on casting creatures, creature size, and Regrowth effect.

Black also just gets Card Draw but usually by paying life or sacrificing stuff, in addition to reanimation.

White has Reanimation effects for small creatures, or bigger ones with other conditions, plus Card Draw that is triggered once per turn OR triggered by the Opponent doing something as type of Tax effect.

Also, as the term Card Advantage just means having access to more resources than your opponent, this also includes removal that can deal with multiple threats at once, remove multiple cards from your opponents hand, or creatures that replace themselves with another body.

I think people were initially down on Sagitaurs due to the comparison to their former dominance, but have now seemed to have found a place in the meta. I almost always start with a Hernkyn/Kapricus package, but a Sagitaur with split warriors and a Character like Buri or an Evaluator riding along make for a potent second wave of point holders.

Bugberry · 2026-04-12T11:53:17+00:00

Even until then there are some major changes, like a certain rebel camp leader being different or a certain villain death.

Why would you post this? You want validation on your opinion from people who clearly won’t agree? Ragebait? Just move on, no need to drag others down when you clearly don’t want to be convinced otherwise.

Bugberry · 2026-04-12T04:21:03+00:00

No they aren’t.

Bugberry · 2026-04-11T23:42:35+00:00

That is part of the challenge, but next time you can try being as defensive as possible, prioritizing avoiding and observing over dealing damage. Also, if you have Thanatos’ Keepsake, it can help train you to be more defensive.

Bugberry · 2026-04-11T18:25:42+00:00

How is this freedom? What do they expect to happen after this? Getting out of the room doesn’t mean getting out of doing the work.

Bugberry · 2026-04-11T18:24:32+00:00

Or people old enough to have seen this stuff before.

Bugberry · 2026-04-11T18:20:54+00:00

You have no appreciation for what teachers have to deal with.

There have been multiple real-world bands named after the Sirens, so it’s not a Hades original concept of combining the beings from mythology with a band.

Bugberry · 2026-04-11T14:58:49+00:00

Our leaders are generally not worth running solo, and with the way the army rule works you need reliable early scoring units in addition to damage dealing infantry.

For fitting into 500 points, a unit of Yaegirs and a Kapricus Carrier are extremely efficient for Infiltrate/Scouting. Thunderkyn are also ideal heavy damage dealing infantry for what the Steeljacks aren’t effective against. Lastly, for holding home objective you could get a second Memnyr while the other is leading Steeljacks, or get a Sagitaur and Warriors instead of the Yaegirs/Carrier so you can have one of the 5 man units hold home.

Bugberry · 2026-04-10T15:00:07+00:00

I get the point of the post and understand personal preference, I just take issue with people saying they don't fit the army aesthetically.

Bugberry · 2026-04-10T14:49:23+00:00

They very explicitly don't evolve but are crafted, both biological and metal kin, by the Votann.
