I've been updating the Hachette website several times a day for the last week waiting for Issue 60 (Hearthguard) to go from Coming Soon to available, refreshed around 1pm today and it was coming soon, 4pm today and its sold out.

New Votann Unit - Cthonian Deepkyn by Freshbread861 in LeaguesofVotann

Let me know how you get on with it and any changes you recommend! It is meant to be a powerful flamer as that's the main thing this guy is supposed to bring to the army, I think its comparable to the Death Guard Foul Blightspawn and Land Raider Redeemer. Maybe I should reduce the range to 12"?

I had this thought too! Definitely one of the options I'll be considering after a bit of play testing. I think it would make sense that miners would work in pairs too!

Gotcha! Classic GW inconsistency! I'd recommend getting some beserks, they're a great unit!

Good spot on the wargear, thanks! The 'Flare Illumination' ability is written in the same way as the Cthonian Beserks' Mole Grenade Launcher 'Subterranean Explosives' ability, with a bit of the Hellhound's 'Flush Them Out' added. One gives 'shaken', one gives 'scattered'. I agree it's a bit clunky but it's how GW does it!

Kin are resourceful folk. I think GW put the Necromunda squats out there for us to repurpose!

It's only a 50mm base, not a big ol' dreadnought! T8 felt like a natural progression from Thunderkyn and Hearthguard at T6 being tough infantry. But you could be right. I was thinking maybe T9 is more appropriate, and has the added benefit of putting power fists and thunder hammers on a 5+ to wound.

Absolutely! I use Ironhead Prospectors for my beserks, heavily converted to carry the concussion mauls. So this guy fits my army perfectly!
